@po_patriot @youngsteveng @WallStreetApes @Bullistik Spanish and English both use Arabic numerals. Numbers is numbers asshole

@FlynnTheMaestro @texasrunnerDFW @liz_churchill10 I know math and calendars and numbers are hard for you, but November 2019 was not two years before people started dying. First US deaths were in early 2020, more than 1.5 years before you claim

@anandafeier @paulg @BillAckman Those weren’t gifted to him by a foreign government. If you can’t see the difference maybe sit this one out and let the adults discuss it

@Patrici46633494 @VoteLewko Keeping pedestrians safe in a city is a weird thing to be pissed off about

@Nicoletta0602 @Brando49858 @nordstromrack Likewise 99.9% of all men don’t rape and kill women. You’ve created a boogeyman for yourself to get all up in arms about

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@Napaaqtuk It would have been nice if my advisor took a more active role in helping to facilitate that arrangement. During my PD, arrangements like this were always on the table when funding was up in the air.

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@Napaaqtuk During my PhD I spent half a year splitting time between my advisor’s lab and the bioinformatics core on campus (tuition/fees/salary costs were split). The experience was invaluable, but I had to put in the legwork to make it happen.

Tonight I had the privilege of watching @Amelia_Lindsey receive the Borealis Honors Exemplary Faculty award from @CFANS @UMN_Entomology. Couldn’t have gone to a more deserving recipient!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@victorl13136875 @Amelia_Lindsey Yes hello, it is I

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@SachsLab @Amelia_Lindsey Thank you, @SachsLab!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@hyphaltip @Amelia_Lindsey Thank you!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@chicaScientific @Amelia_Lindsey Thank you!!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@chicaScientific @Amelia_Lindsey @Jon__Massey Couldn’t have scripted a better post doc experience! (Except those times you made me make my own sequencing libraries 🤣)

[Irene Newton @chicaScientific]

And the final product of @esmith1032's work is out in @GenomeBiolEvol : Genomic signatures of honey bee association in an acetic acid symbiont https://t.co/HfDU72xsFj

[Irene Newton @chicaScientific]

Paper accepted at @GenomeBiolEvol! nice start to a Monday. Congrats to @esmith1032!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@Amelia_Lindsey How’re you supposed to get anything done if it’s raining?

[Irene Newton @chicaScientific]

Led by @esmith1032, collaboration with several honey bee microbiome colleagues on the re-classification of the Parasaccharibacter apium symbiont as Bombella apis. @melittologist https://t.co/eDXe09yY4V

[Irene Newton @chicaScientific]

Manuscript submitted! We'll update the biorxiv soon but this one is about @esmith1032's genomic evolution study of Bombella apis, the protective symbiont of honey bees

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

@hyphaltip @chicaScientific @CoreBiome Thanks! I’m really stoked!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

I am very excited to announce that I have accepted a position as a bioinformatician with the team a @CoreBiome! I’ll be starting in a few short weeks!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

I’m going to miss Bloomington, but am very happy to be moving back to the Twin Cities!

[Eric Smith @esmith1032]

Many thanks also to @AudParish, @helikalebacter, @poly_microbial, @Amelia_Lindsey, and many others for making it fun to come into work everyday!
