Dems: Woot! We're feeding the poor!
GOP: Wait.
Dems: Healing the sick up in this motherfucker!
GOP: No, not like that.
Dems: [Grabs the mic] ALL LOANS FORGIVEN AFTER SEVEN YEARS.
GOP: oh no...

How do gut pathogens establish themselves, escape from the intestinal lumen, and traverse the colonic mucus to reach the host epithelium? My PhD study from @BruceVallance lab shows sialic acid facilitates this process! @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Finally out! This work describing a genetic system for a very important and cool gut commensal has been a labor of love. Massive amounts of work by @lauren282012, Per Malkus & @ValdiviaLab. Special thanks to @barton_lab and Lawrence David’s for being most excellent collaborators.
📢Out now in @NatureMicrobiol:
A genetic system for Akkermansia muciniphila reveals a role for mucin foraging in gut colonization and host sterol biosynthesis gene expression

Finally published! This work, spearheaded by Dr. Wantuch, emphasizes the complexity of vaccine development targeting Klebsiella pneumoniae. Some strains may require a matched capsule vaccine. Check it out!

When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy.

A sitting US senator is celebrating a child wearing a shirt called “guns and 69,” which features sexually explicit and misogynistic messaging, desecrates the flag, and glorifies a weapon used to murder children and educators in American schools.
This culture is killing us.

In America, if you're a wealthy vulture capitalist with over $250,000 in uninsured deposits at a loosely regulated bank the federal government will guarantee that your money is safe in a weekend. If you have no health insurance and get cancer, you're on your own. Unacceptable.

In a recent poll taken by people who hate baseball, 100% said they would love to see an umpire end a game in the most exciting situation. #letthekidsplay?

Work at @ValdiviaLab in Duke Immunology and @DukeMicrobiome @DukeMedSchool announced as part of a new initiative to tackle emerging pathogens
Today HHMI is announcing a commitment of $100 million to the Emerging Pathogens Initiative. The new effort’s research will target preparedness for future emerging pathogens.

Well GA “christian conservatives,” you can vote for a congenital liar who had 4 kids from 4 different women, raised none of them, put a gun to the head of the woman he was cheating on, then a knife to her throat, paid for 2 abortions, denied both; or vote for a christian pastor.

Come join us where 100% of the time is #glycotime
The CCRC at UGA is Hiring! 2 tenure-track faculty positions at the Asst Prof or early Assoc Prof level in any area of glycoscience--please feel free to retweet. ugajobsearch.com/postings/28…
I will surely miss these folks! Couldn’t ask for a better group to work with and learn from.
We bid farewell to @eldoles and @durstingly, two outstanding scientists and colleagues. The positive impact of their contributions, both as mentors to junior lab members and in their research projects, will be felt for years. Best of luck with the next adventure!
