What separates DNA after replication so that growing bacteria each contain at least one chromosome? In work led by @Errington_Lab we found that the spacing of bacterial nuclear material is set by cell volume in cell wall free L-form bacteria

Geometric principles underlying the proliferation of a model cell system

Nature Communications - Bacteria can form wall-deficient variants, or L-forms, that divide by a simple mechanism that does not require the FtsZ-based cell division machinery. Here, Wu et al. study...

Ive been wearing my @Thorlabs tshirt around the house because I miss the lab, and my youngest son fell in love with the Thor doggy. Thanks a million to @Thorlabs UK for sending him one of his very own!

Very well done @JukesCalum from my lab on passing his PhD viva with minor corrections! 🍾😀🥂🍻 And huge thanks to @nartimsoole and Heath Murray for examining.

If you would like to do a 5 year post-doc on an ambitious team science project with fantastic collaborators, get in touch! You will focus on using in vitro single molecule FRET to study bacterial cell wall remodelling. @pstansfeld + @davidroper2 have positions too. Adverts soon.

A little something utterly awesome happened for me @pstansfeld @seamus_holden & @Cochrane_lab . Job adds being drafted now for 3PDRAs and a Graduate RA @WarwickLifeSci

@FOMconferences @SuperResoluSian @gailmcconnell @SusanSuperRes @FOMconferences you will notice that the line up of both MMC and ELMI are both reasonably gender balanced. It's not hard - our field has many outstanding female scientists.

People are rightly complaining about recent bad experiences with a large virtual society conference. But I'm convinced smaller virtual conferences can be amazing, and massively increase global access.Subtillery - virtual Bacillus conference started by @Eswara_Lab - case in point

Updating my cell division/ cell wall biophysics lectures, and it's a wonderful chance to reread @Laia_Pasquina 's 2020 cell wall ultrastructure paper, this has got to be one of my favourite figures in a paper ever ()
