Miscellaneous
We value the following guidelines
Science is incredibly fun and powerful. Be creative but sincere. Be productive.
Thoroughly review literature before starting a project. Write a complete draft of lab notes. Critically review the experiments and make necessary changes. Be your own worst critic. Assemble materials. Then, just do it.
Be open minded. Let the data speak for itself. Seek to publish all findings. Ignore impact factors. Publish in preprint versions when you can.
Think creatively. Then work hard.
Support other groups. Collaborate with the right person(s). It is us (humanity) vs. the bad bugs.
If you are passionate about bacterial work and new ideas, it is likely we are 'like minds'. We will be glad to hear from you.
