@phylogenomics @environmicrobio I do know what they (me) were thinking and a plant is a different version of multicellular than a biofilm, c’mon Roland, you weren’t there.
@erin_cameron We have been using them for a few years now and they are great! Email me and I can send you the protocol we developed for sampling in the field with RNALater and then the protocol for getting the biomass back out once at the lab
Groundwater/micro twitter - have you used these cartridge filters for large-scale filtration, and if yes, can you easily crack them open to get the filters out for nucleic acid extraction? Pros/cons, alternatives?

@phylogenomics I have a set of 3, 20 min videos and an accompanying workshop module - one could run it on their own if they were up for installing the programs.

🧫New pre-print from CUBE🧫led by Aaron Hinz (lab wizard!). We show that floor swabs can be used to identify COVID-19 cases on a university campus. Floor swabs had stronger correlation than wastewater, req less setup costs, and are less gross 💩 1/3 https://t.co/T7tkIuxpte

Four different people on Twitter in the past week: I saved a kid from drowning at a BBQ, here’s what to look for.
Me today: oh that kid is drowning.
Got him out, all fine.

@elvisha9 I look at the week I am currently in on my calendar and ask myself if I would be willing to make time for this new thing in this level of busy week. And if I would, I say yes. And if it would be untenable or frustrating to give that time, I say no. It has helped a lot.
The University of Toronto, Department of Biochemistry is searching for an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream. FYI, these positions are analogous to research "tenure-stream" in that following a successful 6 yr review promotion is to Associate Prof (continuing status).
