A legend is gone. Discovered Type II restriction enzymes (70s), sequenced the first bacterial genome (90s) and synthesised the first bacterial genome (00s).
25 Oct 2025
Prof. Hamilton Smith at J. Craig Venter Institute, a Nobel laureate for discovering type II restriction enzymes, passed away last night.
A huge loss in Science, but his legacy will be remembered.

A large collection of single-gene deletion mutants was screened by @RodrigueLab to identify specific LPS structures recognized by specialized adhesins found in a type IV pilus encoded by conjugative plasmid TP114 to enable high transfer rates in fluids.

Canadian health research has been chronically underfunded for the past two decades. As a result, the research ecosystem in this country is in serious trouble!

Research grants like the NSERC Discovery Grant, have stagnated in the past 5 years, despite 17% inflation in the economy! 😱
Increased pay for grad students and postdocs can only be achieved by increasing the value of research grants, along with scholarships and fellowships.

Challenges facing graduate students and early career researchers are real. My partner finished his doctorate sleeping on his supervisor’s floor because he could not afford rent. I used my own personal funds to pay for my 1918 flu expedition.
Time to invest in research.
