So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth!

For the Thank a Microbe project, Lactobacillus sp. were a favorite genera of bacteria to thank.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is what digests milk sugars into acetic acid, which gives yogurt its tangy taste!

One more #FluorescenceFriday to give some ❤️ to the mouse 🧠 - I really like the orientation of this slice - locus coeruleus is labeled here with tyrosine hydroxylase in PINK with some virally-labeled axons traversing through in ORANGE 🔬🧪

Finally the scary example. The image of a western blot with a time course experiment, staining a protein of interest, showing the increase of protein over time and a second staining with a control antibody that does not change over time

Update on a significant development NIH grant terms.
On 10/1, a change to grant making regs went into effect that gives NIH more power to terminate grants for policy reasons.
But to use this power, new grant terms must include specific language. See @aniloza.bsky.social w/ the story from July.

The diderm cell envelope is not a stack of layers but a unified scaffold of Inner Membrane–Peptidoglycan–Outer Membrane.
We discuss how tethering the OM to the PG in E. coli preserves integrity — and extend the concept across diderm bacteria.

#OTD 1867, Marie Curie was born.
During WWI, Curie created a vehicle that contained a hospital bed, a generator, an X-ray machine and photographic darkroom equipment. These “petite Curies" (below) could be driven right up to the Front. Curie also helped train 150 women as radiology technicians.

I am going to scream if one more person sends me a schedule but calls it an "itinerary."
itinerary = planned route or journey, or a document recording it. It is from the Latin, "itinerarium," which means route of travel.
