I am really excited to share the preprint of the third chapter of my dissertation! We identified new symbionts of marine nematodes, including novel chemoautotrophs, and estimate that >20% of nematodes harbor obligate intracellular symbionts.

💯. This is not impossible to do. If u are a new PI, just make a conscious decision to pay postdocs livable salaries depending on cost of living & expertise. The NIH minimum is terrible for big cities & even the University minimums are not sufficient. 1/

This is very sad, but I'm not sure what can be done to stop it.

The harsh truth is that consumers just don't care. Local papers are dying because nobody reads them. The internet has totally obliterated their business model.

During my PhD, one of the most frustrating challenges was trying to interpret genes labeled as “hypothetical proteins.” 1/n

Super excited about our new low-input genomics pub led by Nick Roberts. We used a commercially available MDA kit to produce ug of template DNA for PacBio HiFi directly from living cells of meiofaunal animals and sequenced the first gastrotrich genome.

“Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe” was just published across 14 journals! It is critical that microbes be included in climate conversations 🦠

Yesterday, just before noon, The Washington Post, through CEO William Lewis, announced it would not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

It was shocking for two immediate reasons.

Biden withdrawing is basically a scientific experiment to demonstrate how media distorts its coverage to maintain horse-race drama and avoid confronting Republicans with inconvenient facts. Pretty different tone pre- and post-withdrawal!

During the Great Depression the United States deported its own Hispanic Citizens because white people thought they were taking all the jobs.

Sound familiar?
