Quick weekend read when you get the chance! I’m excited to announce that the preprint for a major chapter of my thesis work is out on BioRxiv! In this study, we highlight the essential role that pyrimidine metabolism plays in promoting activity of the SaeRS TCS in Staphylococcus aureus! 1/3
Pyrimidine sufficiency is required for Sae two-component system signaling in Staphylococcus aureus https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.20.644390v1

My editorial simultaneously published in all of @asm.org's journals addresses the ongoing effort by the administration to halt efforts to diversify science. It should be obvious from ASM Journals' efforts over the years, but we aren't fans journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
A call for healing and unity | mBio
Executive orders signed since 20 January 2025 aim to end programs intended to diversify the scientific workforce via equitable and inclusive practices and processes; cut federal funding for research and innovation; and stifle scientific communications. They represent a stunning reversal of policies that have been the bedrock of the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its leadership in the world, and therefore not surprisingly they have been met with a number of legal challenges. Some of the executive orders have been blocked by temporary restraining orders, and others are pending judicial review.
