@StevenSalzberg1 That’s really remarkable. I also found the study very dubious and wrote a letter together with a group of scientists from Amsterdam University. The letter was dismissed and we were informed to discuss our issues with the authors.
@engineers_feed Mortgages. Having a place to live is one of the most basic necessities, yet somehow we have gotten into a situation that banks own more or less all homes and we have to pay monthly fees to be able to live somewhere.
@IM_Crit_ That’s crazy. Microbiology making itself useless. I’m setting up a lab in a hospital that will give all microbiolgy results the same day with my company inbiome next year. We aim to make the microbiology lab as useful and valuable as possible.

@ryhertzberger Goed idee, die crispatus tampon. Uiteindelijk lijkt het me dat die wetgeving onhoudbaar is. Hoe kunnen bacterien in kaas wel veilig zijn omdat ze al 20.000 jaar gegeten worden, maar bacterien die al meer dan een miljoen jaar in ons lichaam leven niet bewezen veilig zijn?
