Our recent paper in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance is a great example of scientific serendipity: after staring at thousands of bacterial growth curves over many studies, we started wondering whether the curve shapes themselves carry mechanistic information 1/9 🦠🧪

Istanbul people, an Astronomer needs your help!
Do I know anyone on here who might be able to get me a digital image of a page (or a few) of a manuscript in the Library of Ahmed III (in Istanbul)? The library doesn’t appear to have digitized much (or any) of the collection?

Big congrats to my first Master’s student, Metehan, on his successful defence last Friday! He worked on stochastic DNA damage dynamics under radiation, laying the groundwork for a manuscript. Now he’s off to a PhD in Astrobiology. Wishing him success ahead!
