Evolution of pH-sensitive transcription termination in Escherichia coli during adaptation to repeated long-term starvation PNAS from Megan Behringer pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Imagine if when I was selecting a major at 18 years old, someone told me you could study both microbiology and viticulture. 😭

Crushed to hear this. Scott Santos was an amazing professor. He got me into bioinformatics while I was a student at Auburn, and by teaching me to code he essentially changed my life. This is a beautiful write up about him. He’ll be truly missed. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…

Why yes, Google, now that you mention it I am VERY interested in this news story. Looks like an amazing insightful paper! I bet the authors are terrific people too! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We were glad to host Dr. Worthan Sarah B Worthan from Dr. Behringer's laboratory Megan Behringer and her fantastic work on bacterial evolution. We gain many lessons about bacterial cell growth and working conditions.

Finally caved and installed the updates. This the outcome. Incredible. 😭😭

It looks like I never posted anything (*but see below) on what are probably the most surprising results my lab obtained so far. Anyway, this work—led by an outstanding former PhD student Sarah Ardell in collaboration with Milo Johnson—is now published: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

My PhD institution (UGA) beat my undergrad (Auburn), but my faculty institution just beat Bama. No complaints here about this Game Day Saturday in the SEC! #AnchorDown ⚓️

Raise your hand 🙋‍♀️ if you have been the main intellectual driver of any of your first author papers and the last author’s role was mostly administrative (I.e. provided you with freedom/research space/ funds)

This is a formal plea for VUMC catering to bring back breakfast pizza. 🍕

Introducing our lab’s newest Ph.D candidate William McLaughlin. William is doing an awesome microbial systems ecology project that’s already turning out some cool results. Keep an eye out for this rising star.

In today’s publishing landscape, it’s pivotal that grant reviewers to pay close attention to the authorship footnotes. Co-firsts are increasingly common & dinging people because their name comes second will hurt many women and URMs, who are more prone to offer to share credit.

What an amazing conference! #chsmicrobiome is one of my fav meetings bc the basic science creativity is so strong. I always leave with new ideas and a new colleagues! CSHL Meetings I have a goal for the next meeting! Have a super strong #WomensHealth representation! I’ll be

I can think of two examples, both men who happen to be brothers. The first is Dr. André L. Churchwell, Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University; the second is Dr. Keith Churchwell, President of the American Heart Association.

Rage bait, but I’m very thankful to the NIH. They funded large portions of my predoctoral & postdoctoral training, as well as my current lab with our R35. My career as a biologist would not be possible in its current form without the opportunities provided by the NIH.
