Light reading to distract me from the news. Yet it is strangely familiar.

Why do we always submit grant proposals at the last minute? This never ceases to amaze me.

As I was saying, happy to be back home! Cheers!

Désolé, c’était un peu la folie à la fin du séjour.

Congratulations Marie! Immensely proud! Looking forward to seeing where you take your project on evolution of bacterial elongation.

Marie Delaby @mariedelaby.bsky.social · Jul 4

Excited to share that I have been appointed F.R.S.-FNRS Research Associate to launch my independent research group at the University of Namur!
We will study the diversity, regulation & environmental control of bacterial cell elongation.
More soon- new projects, collaborations & opportunities ahead!

Sabbatical is over! I really enjoyed my time in Marseille for 10 months @lcbofficiel.bsky.social but very happy to be back in Montreal and with my lab. Also, the view from my office 😀

Excited to see our automated HT growth/microscopy screening platform coming together. Pictured: the intermediate version to screen 5-10,000/day unattended. Diagrammed is the full platform due next summer after renovations @ 20,000/day and integrated with our colony picker.

How does your favorite species elongate? 🧵 "Phenotypic plasticity in bacterial elongation among closely related species". Happy to see this paper in print @natcomms.nature.com. Nice work by @mariedelaby.bsky.social, Liu Yang et al. See original 🧵, different colours, same data and conclusions.

Excited to be in Grenoble surrounded by mountains to give a seminar today at the IBS where I was on sabbatical 10 years ago.

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs.

Indeed, please also check the paper on the same topic by
@lowlab.bsky.social published a few months ago in the same journal.

We encourage you to also check out an alternative model of how CpaF assembles the Tad pilus proposed by @lowlab.bsky.social published a few months ago in the same journal.

Bidirectional pilus processing in the Tad pilus system motor CpaF - Nature Communications

The ATPase CpaF from C. crescentus powers pilus dynamics in the bacterial Tad pilus system. Cryo-EM and light microscopy characterisation of CpaF uncovers a mechanism for how CpaF may drive both pilus...

Great to see @ianyyen.bsky.social's first paper in print! He deserves major congratulations for driving a stimulating collaboration: he determined structures of the Tad pilus ATPase CpaF from Caulobacter and proposes how CpaF employs a rotary mechanism of catalysis to drive pilus assembly #microsky

This is why the new threat against university funding in Canada is concerning, clearly a fraction of the population here do not understand either how things work and universities contribute.
