Always assumed Michaelis & Menten were two guys; turns out Menten was a badass woman and is my new academic crush! Wikipedia: “She played the clarinet, created paintings worthy of art exhibitions, climbed mountains, went on an Arctic expedition, enjoyed astronomy, […] had mastered several languages”
Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience

Now that I am finishing my PhD and looking for a 'real' job (because apparently academia doesn't count as experience), let me complain about HR people. 1. In what world PhD doesn't count as experience? You work 8 hours in the lab, with 'real' projects and people. Sometimes even more than 8 hours...

🔬 New research by @michielslab.bsky.social @liselotdewachter.bsky.social @vibmicrobes.bsky.social in @naturecomms.bsky.social shows how protein 'clumps' drive bacteria into a state of dormancy, with implications for antibiotic resistance. ➡️ Read here vibbio.tech/40Qxc2M
