Very excited about attending SATC #SATC2023 conference with Gail Jennings. I am looking forward to what I am sure will be interesting conversations.

I am hiring several pre docs/research assistants in Medellin. RT! Apply! Past RAs have regularly gone on to top-10 PhD programs or to great policy careers. My earliest field RAs are now professors at top universities. Too many pre-docs are US-based and focused on data analysis.

Tomorrow, I'll moderate a session discussing Somalia's admission into East African Community. Dr. Bashir Sheikh-Ali, who wrote on this for Heritage Institute, and my good friend Sylvanus Wekesa, PhD, will share their insights on the topic. I welcome you all, especially the citizens of Jumuiya & IGAD.

New preprint! We have assigned adenosylcobalamin (a biologically active form of vitamin B₁₂) as the ligand of a previously orphan riboswitch that controls expression of the rpfB-ksgA-ispE operon, involved in the resuscitation of Mtb from dormancy. Read biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh….
