Excited to announce the beta release of our new MicrobiomeDB R package! This package is intended to be companion to our @microbiomeDB website and provides convenient, programmatic access to all of our curated 16S and shotgun metagenomic datasets. #microbiome #rstats #dataviz

Truly insane tweet by the paper formerly known as the Washington Post, which is now offering a "view from nowhere" take on the lunatic fabulist who made a video series trying to prove that Erika Kirk murdered her husband.

Check out our new paper in @MolSystBiol: Transcriptomic profiling of shed cells enables spatial mapping of cellular turnover in human organs https://t.co/CT3ZyjETlw
We combine spatial and shed cell transcriptomics to reconstruct dynamic turnover maps of digestive tract tissues.

Go and work with Sebastian in his new Cryptosporidium lab in Switzerland!

[Martin Polz @MartinPolz]

In a couple of months, my lab will have a postdoctoral position available for a computational biologist. The project will focus on bacterial population genomics with strong focus on MGE dynamics. Please get in touch if you feel qualified ([email protected]) or repost.

Great to share a seminar trip with Dan ⁦@hostmicrobe⁩ to Korea and KNU.

[Boris Striepen @striepenlab]

So Chris and I were quite pleased with our #Cryptosporidium meeting in Philadelphia ... but we clearly can't compete with Mattie and Adam. This looks spectacular, make sure to sign up for Crypto2026! @ParaFrap @TrendsParasitol @BSPparasitology @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @ASTMH

Thanks to @nvidia's pilot program, looks like a slick little DGX Spark is going be in the lab stocking this holiday season. Looking forward to using this device to fine tune AI tools for single cell data exploration. @NVIDIAAIDev #NVIDIAGrant

[Daniel Beiting @hostmicrobe]

Congrats to Rui and Andrew from the lab, who took home not one, but TWO prizes from the @UPenn_I3H's hackathon! Well done.

Cryptosporidium genetics really works! Latest cross explains why tb drug failed in crypto clinical trial. Widespread genomic heterogeneity at the type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenase locus predisposes Cryptosporidium to clofazimine resistance @millseba https://t.co/3g7zSjBYpP

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

Due to the #trumptarrifs, @Illumina announces surcharges on all consumables (5%), instruments (2-9%) and services (3.5%). A big hit to labs that are already struggling to do genomics work in an environment with severely reduced federal funding

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

Thanks so much for involving me in this event Daniel!

[Kelton Minor @keltonminor]

There are days in life that shake you.

I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

[Daniel Beiting @hostmicrobe]

Very excited to team up with @MichaelEMann to host @PeterHotez at @pennvet this evening for a public lecture on vaccination in a time of rising anti-science rhetoric and policies.

[Lisa Verzier, PhD @LisaVerzier]

@womeninmalaria @Girl_into_bugs Fun personal note: shoutout to @hostmicrobe for sparking my interest in single-cell analysis. Much progress since @MBLBoP 2022, but it all began one summer evening in the lab exploring parasite single-cell data. Inspirational teacher :)

[Daniel Beiting @hostmicrobe]

Loving the vibe over at Bsky🦋!

More science. Less cesspool.

Starter packs make it easy to connect with colleagues

If ur new to🦋, I thought this article was a nice breakdown of why it might be a platform that is better/different than this place

@LouiseHMoncla Come on over where the skies are blue (at least for now)!

We started the GEMINI series to help students learn to use a wide variety of software tools for analysis of common datatypes in biomedical research. You can learn more about this effort here:

[Daniel Beiting @hostmicrobe]

Packed house today at the final workshop of the year for our GEMINI series. Andrea Stout and AJ Lucy from the @PennCDB microscopy core are teaching students to use @FijiSc software for quantitative analysis of imaging data. #DataScience #dataviz

A fitting card for my birthday
