Have we really become so woke that we’re no longer comfortable with ICE shooting unarmed women and yelling “fuck you bitch” as they die?

[Michael Baym @baym]

Five different federal grants supported parts of this work to discover bacteriophages that specifically kill antibiotic resistant bacteria. They were all politically terminated three weeks ago.

[Andrea C. Love, PhD @dr_andrealove]

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US.

Without essential infrastructure, there will be:

Staff cuts
Lab closures
Fewer research projects
Less scientific progress
Loss of talent

The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!
Special thanks to Dr. @JudithSimcox for all the work she does to support Indigenous Peoples through inclusive leadership in science!

@goleylab @isaacppayne This is the cutest “you are too popular” message ever (you don’t need to send it, I should have access at work)

[Shawna Reed @profpathogen1]

@baym Beat to the punch but I’d add you can’t call OD by eye unless you swirl it

[Shawna Reed @profpathogen1]

Beautiful work and it is online and open, would be great for teaching @CellBioEd students what cells "really" look like.

It’s incredible how densely packed the cell is with organelles and other structures! Just seeing a talk from JLS which brought up this paper using fib-sem https://t.co/RedyExB29v

TODAY is Deadline for Late Registration for Boston Bacteria Meeting 2024!

Join us June 3 + 4th at BU -- you will make lifelong friends and learn about cool molecular mechanisms! ✏️👭👬🧑‍🤝‍🧑😎🔥

Come cry over your system 😭 and laugh 😆over genetic mutant phenotypes🦠😁!

I give take-home exams so that students can think about experimental design and provide thoughtful answers without the anxiety of a timed test. This means I try to make them resistant to Googling/AI. My students challenged me to write one about Barbie. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! 1/n

@DrKaraAyers @arielmaelambe I've gotten nonzero AI % from some paraphrased or Grammarly-ed assignments, but when AI likelihood is 95% or above it's pretty clear.

@suzwsm Looking forward to playing and teaching with it! And finally, lac operon models that INCLUDE the structural genes and their functions!

[Shawna Reed @profpathogen1]

@ValleyMicrobes Hi! The registration link is not working at all as of 9PM EST. Can you advise?
