Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab
If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, we have (an) MVP for you now \o/
Really happy to see this one published, and also welcoming feedback/suggestion of improvement!
Thanks (again) everyone 😊, and many thanks to @ASMicrobiology ! To me, it is also a recognition of the entire viral ecogenomics field, and I feel very (very) lucky to work alongside brillant, supportive, kind, and overall just awesome scientists 🥰.
Happy Noodlococcus Day to all those who celebrate 🍜🦠
On this day in 2019, we discovered this noodle-y colony contaminating an old plate, leading to the creation of ContamClub 🧫✨
Remember - You should register to VEGA24 now because it will be a really nice meeting and because if you wait too long, you won't get the early-bird rate.. We also still have plenty of space for short talk that will be selected from abstracts, so get these ready !
