@leonorabit It worked okay. Definitely have some optimization to do but I’m still pleased!

A little late, but I’m thankful the power didn’t go out on campus last night while my MinION was running 👍🏻

A new study out today @elife reports devastating and widespread racial disparities in funding @NSF.

@EcoEvoLab Can confirm that receiving a little treat while sitting down during my wedding is delightful. We’re so happy you could join us 🥰

@EcoEvoLab Tell me you’ve never hosted a conference without telling me you’ve never hosted a conference.

[Erica Holdridge, Ph.D. @eholdridge]

@EcoEvoLab Should have visited me in Idaho! Also trying to figure out how you’ve been to all of New England except Vermont.

Are you interested in studying host-microbe interactions from molecular mechanisms to evolution and back again? I'm recruiting graduate students across three programs at @IUBiology - reach out and we can make sure you apply to the right program for you!

[Cameron Thrash @jcamthrash]

[Erica Holdridge, Ph.D. @eholdridge]

@jess_bernardin I’m so sorry you and your family had to go through that. I can’t imagine how frightening that must have been.

[Erica Holdridge, Ph.D. @eholdridge]

@sgalla32 @TravisSeaborn @PoisonEcology @dataworthseeing @AllisonWolfeMac @Dr_AlexM @NotAPomegranite I was given similar advice about diminishing returns on manuscript revisions on grad school. Really helpful to keep in mind!
