@dendromecon27 No worries! I highly recommend the ability for mobile living. Opens up new worlds. You’re always welcome here, and we can show you some spots when the time comes.

[Ben Colman @BPColman]

@dendromecon27 Wow! That’s a huge shift! We will have to welcome you to the neighborhood when you get here.

[Ben Colman @BPColman]

@lahrkii Roger that!

I am ringing the alarm.
We have now found >400 papers that all share a very similar title layout, graph layout, and (most importantly) the same Western blot layout.
This is a massive #PaperMill of (what we assume) fabricated data.

@ScienceSkater I am pretty sure no amount of tucking could make me go that fast, as it would quickly be overcome by abject terror, but who knows.

[Ben Colman @BPColman]

Downloaded a new GPS tracker for #snowboarding and it allowed me to import past data from other apps. I was a bit surprised to see my top speed, but I had just gotten a new, faster board. 1/2

@NadiaWh I think it was the black snow pants I was wearing. Very slimming.

@ArdonLab I will say I had someone scribble out my picture in a middle school yearbook, and maybe such a plan could have wronged that right? Or better parenting for the offending child might have prevented it.

[Ben Colman @BPColman]

@smkanderson Well done!

This is a story that might be painfully familiar to some of us who work/have worked in academia: Being left off a paper that you worked on.

@AbsLawson You could suggest in the review that the citation is not of the author(s), but of their publication. Referring to the author(s) (or pronouns) necessarily personalizes things, which can also be problematic when being critical of the work (not the authors) being cited.

Recruiting a Ph.D. student to explore the influence of dissolved and colloidal phases on transport, availability, and impacts of metals and nutrients in a mine waste contaminated river. Please see ad (https://t.co/VHyGU7Lcvq) if interested in working with me here at #umontana.

@RichardMarinos Based on an analysis of the distribution of the letters, I’m guessing toddler.

[Marie Simonin @MicrobialMarie]

So happy to see this paper led by @JenniferRocca1 out in @ESAEcology!
We show that rare microbial taxa emerge during community coalescence and drive the maintenance of microbial functions and diversity.
