How bacteria resist hostile attacks
Some bacteria use a kind of molecular “speargun” to eliminate their rivals, injecting them with a lethal cocktail. Researchers led by Prof. Marek Basler at the Biozentrum have now discovered that cert...
🧪 New research by @basler-lab.bsky.social reveals a surprising microbial trade-off: Pseudomonas aeruginosa activates a defense program to survive “speargun” attacks from rival bacteria, but this defense makes it more vulnerable to antibiotics. @unibas.ch @snsf.ch @nccr-antiresist.bsky.social 👇

Thank you for such a sweet tool for the community!
Also, very cool to see how the uncertainty intervals behave just in the way we showed in 2020 for unconstrained spreading. That the error matters more than the mean is a message worth hammering.

¿Sabías que en agosto de 2026 habrá un eclipse total de sol visible en parte de España? ¿Que el anterior fue en 1912, y el siguiente, del tirón, en 2027? Todo esto, y mucho más, babilonios incluidos, en nuestro #podcast sobre #eclipses. No apto para terraplanistas 🌞🌝

El Sol se eclipsará el día veintinueve de Iyyhar… habrá una revuelta en Acad: el hijo matará a su padre, el hermano matará a su hermano (y) el rey morirá y habrá combate en el templo de Bel.

Just attended a fascinating talk by @sarsarela.bsky.social at the @amrhubcsic.bsky.social meeting. So much cool data, but, above all: so many questions that come to mind!
Among other things, she presented the following paper. I will read it very carefully!

Una foto en la que salgo mirando a cámara y mostrando la portada del libro "Esto es normal", de Alejandro García Alamán.
Las navidades pasadas aún no había salido, pero este año me he adelantado regalándole una copia a una amiga y otra a mí mismo de "Esto es normal" el libro de @agarkala.bsky.social. Hora de desmitificar tópicos de psicología, y disfrutar en el proceso.

Image of a patient in the x-ray laboratory in the background. Text reads 'Tuberculosis is the world's top infectious killer. TB caused 1.23 million deaths in 2024. Ending TB is possible. Fund it, research it, commit to it.'
#Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and curable.
Yet, it remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious killers, claiming 1.23 million lives in 2024.

Huge congrats to Damià @damia-gomila.bsky.social on this one. It is a bold and exciting vision, if it holds upon further development, it could kickstart a bona fide revolution. Also, very clearly written and easy to read. I really enjoyed it!
