Great work by @pierresantucci.bsky.social and co. Always fun and easy to collaborate with you. Thank you for including me in this study 😊
New study shows pyrazinamide kills TB by acidifying bacterial cytosol — not via PanD/CoA depletion. A long-standing debate settled, paving the way for smarter PZA-like drugs. #MicroSky

I have done this frequently and agree it is very valuable. Removing the presumed quality imprint of the journal name opens up the discussion dramatically in my experience.

I spoke to @mscribe.bsky.social @theguardian.com about the H5N1 case in BC.

More and more human cases are occurring, along with mutations that indicate further human adaptation.

We need to treat these cases like a warning, because that is what they are.
