my hopes for gen z taking over the academic review process is that it will be matched for harshness, but at least more efficient

Congratulations to Dr. Karikó and Dr. Weissman!
(and a snarky side eye to UPenn, who suddenly has Dr. Karikó on the landing page of their website)

Be curious. Pay attention. You may not be able to impress with knowledge and experience but you can impress with enthusiasm and attention. Mentors are paying attention to this.
Most important: discover or confirm your passions for science.

Kalyani Pyaram, Ph.D., assistant professor of cancer biology at @KUMedicine, finally has her family under one roof after being long-distance for three years. Now @ImmunolKalyani hopes to inspire others in academia who struggle with the "two-body problem." bit.ly/3DzjGEj

Another great article highlighting the success of Dr. Tony Fehr and recent PNAS paper! The paper describes the importance of Mac1 domain for SARS-CoV-2 replication. This could assist attenuated vaccine considerations. news.ku.edu/2023/08/28/new-g…

Total evidence for 'immutable target': "No spontaneous resistant mutants of S. aureus ATCC29213 were obtained when plating 1.2X10^10 cells on agar media with 4xMIC clovibactin." So one-step high-level resistance is rare - I'm still betting on the bacteria.

New antibiotic dropped.
"we report the discovery of clovibactin.... efficiently kills drug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial pathogens without detectable resistance"

The longer people are in academia, the more they realize that when reading papers it's best to ignore Intro, Discussion etc. and just look at Methods and Results
