This was such fun research, and I'm so happy to see it published in @CommsBio! Started as a bunch of late-night conversations at the @sfiscience summer school, ultimately turned into this: https://t.co/UjvEUbhTu4

Feeling emotional about my first first author publication out now in @ISMEJournal. This work was only possible because of so many people (especially @val_deanda & @archaeal). Thank you to coauthors and everyone involved. Read here(!!): https://t.co/Tb0wrUbbZ3
Doing that awkward Twitter thing - come hear me talk about the evolution of recombination/sex in the @ASNAmNat symposium on Thursday "The Theory of Evolution"
I'm at 3:35 PM Eastern, but come to the whole symposium and hear synthetic talks across the span of evolutionary theory!
What's 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 hiding in your go-to cloning plasmid?
The plasmids we use typically have long histories of cutting & splicing and forgotten junk often litters plasmids.

As promised a few weeks back, BACPHLIP is officially published! Thanks to @thePeerJ, a set of helpful reviewers, and users who have been submitting feedback https://t.co/9eHnWwQFha Use it for all your phage lifestyle classification needs! (okay, with *some* minor caveats)
Excited to post what may be (one of?) my last papers as a post-doc with @ClausWilke and as an academic! This work started after casually looking at the T7 genome for a side-project with @benrjack to see what what translation initiation mechanisms in phage might look like... 1/n

hi everyone,
in this article I explain that the official, beloved song of UT Austin, sadly, is based on a racist song,
was created for a racist event on May 12, 1903,
was first performed at that event,
