What if the shape of a lettuce leaf mattered more than its DNA when it comes to the microbes living on it?🥬
🚨Marco Giovannetti discusses the surprising role of lettuce morphology in shaping leaf bacterial communities in this upcoming Cassyni talk:

@USDA_ARS scientists in Oxford, MS, are helping U.S. farmers as they study the problem of microplastics occurring in Mississippi Delta floodwaters. The researchers are using infrared spectrometer technology, which enables them to analyze tiny samples of plastic. They are working to locate where the plastics are moving and how they are affecting America’s farms. https://t.co/PerrUInnIP

@NASAWebb and @ChandraXray joined forces to deliver this view of the Cat's Paw Nebula. Different wavelengths combine to reveal young stars at the center of these dusty clouds.
Just released cFMDbench: a repository where I pulled together methods I’ve been using for #ML classification on #metagenomic data with #mlr3, benchmarked on the #cFMD dataset. More a structured workflow than a “product”, but maybe useful to others. https://t.co/sJ1pGUIBqS
