It's here! Celebrating 50 y of the MyxoMeeting, we myxologists teamed up & wrote a JBac group review on the history of #Myxococcus xanthus & how it became the coolest model bacterium ever 🦠🧫. Really proud of this 1, check it out for tons of useful info!

Sometimes I have too much fun working on review articles😁! Hmmm, how to end off a group review on the history of Myxococcus xanthus as a model 🦠?. "The remarkable research journey of M. xanthus can thus be summed up as follows: from a pile of poop to getting shit done!".

Excited to announce: I'll be joining the Editorial Board of the Journal of Bacteriology! 🦠🧫🔬 @JBacteriology, published by @ASMicrobiology since 1916, has long been a home for solid bacteriology research. It has been a pleasure to review for them over the years!.

So true & prescient! For shits & giggles, I've long planned to write up 1 of our stories currently in the pipeline using the leftside format (at least for the preprint), detailing the actual sequence of events that led to the final conclusion. Brace yourselves for an epic Fig.1🤓.
How we present the project is the opposite of how we actually do the project

Not science-related, but this is just too perfect not to re-post. If you know, you know. #Shatkins.

It has arrived!😃🤓 Even our librarian couldn't track down an e-copy, so I ordered one from the UK. Has an excellent summary of early myxobacterial research, especially re: #motility🦠🔬 Discovered new (old!) references that show how ideas from 1951 turn out to be true after all!

The cobra chicken is not to be trifled with! You don't know fear until you turn around on the 4th fairway to see one gliding at you from 10ft away, 5ft off the ground, making a beeline for your head, and all you have to defend yourself with is the 7-iron you have in your hand. .
In Canada, we do not fear bears, mooses, wolves, coyotes. Oh no, we only fear the cobra chicken.

The -20degC🥶 freezer door is starting to have issues STAYING closed, so I added a baby lock. Currently debating whether to show the students how to open it, or let them "problem solve" to further their training. 🙊 Mwah hah hah. #lablife
