Delighted to see @ruthlessruth15.bsky.social's postdoc work out today, with fantastic undergrads Celine & Fatimah as co-authors! 🎉 Very fun story about bacterial competition w/ lots still to untangle. Sometimes you just need to mix cells together & see what happens! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

We're considering moving to Columbia in the future. I hadn't even considered this. How far away do you live from Merriwether?

I thank microbiology for allowing me to modify plants, assemble DNA, express proteins, study catabolism, and show the world the endless gifts and bounties of our oceans. Microbio is the foundation of modern bioengineering regardless of the clade you study in. Highly rec. 10/10

Ten years ago Tami, Roy, and I released a movie we made of antibiotic resistance evolving in real time. I thought maybe a couple thousand people tops would see it. I couldn't have imagined it would be seen millions of times, and be taught from middle school through the graduate level worldwide

Hey y’all, did you know that study sections have been asked to vote each round to adopt the “modified review” practice of only discussing the top 1/3? What if we don’t vote yes?.. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
