Postdoc with USDA-ARS. Member of the 'let's sequence everything!' generation, but I also get DNA from dirt. Tweets are my own, and not of the US Federal gov.

If you use Chatgpt to design a script, are you still even a "bioinformatician"?

Asking for a friend.

A Seminar at the 2023 Soil Pathogens conference in Salinas CA on the topic of enhanced detection of Macrophomina and Verticillium will be given by....me!

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

As much as I enjoy #ScienceTwitter, if Elon let's drumpf back on, Im going to have to call it quits. No one will probably care or notice, but meh.

Karyotype variation, spontaneous genome rearrangements affecting chemical insensitivity, and expression level polymorphisms in the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans revealed using its first chromosome-scale assembly https://t.co/Dl2tMGvWsW

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

Giving a seminar today at @CSUMB, my paper was just accepted by @PLOSPathogens, and getting married this coming Saturday to the impeccable @KelleyJ_Clark.

Life could be worse.

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

Swell, remote sensing just got more difficult. Hellooooo new 889 forms!

@BCDTravel I was also charged a fee just for the privlidge of waiting on hold to talk to an agent. Sounds fair?

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

I just want to put it out there, but @BCDTravel is the worst travel agency I have ever dealt with. Multiple multiple hour long holds, and failure to even ticket my previous flight. You can do better,maybe even by buying your own ticket.

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

Do you want your employees to absolutely despise you? Then go with @BCDTravel as your business travel solution. For the 2nd time in a row, my plane ticket was not paid for and the airline canceled my flight, and here I am 3 hrs on hold for the third time. What a joke.

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

So is it a badge of honor or shame that you got covid at #PlantHealth2022? I mean, we were all thinking it. No regrets, the experience was well worth the slightly sore throat. #vaccines

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

@MorganCarterPhD Made it home, but our bags didn't make it. The bright side is that we didn't have to unpack once we got home!

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

The positive vibe I'm getting from everyone at #PlantHealth2022 is what myself and everyone else probably needed!

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

Omg I'm ridiculously excited for #PlantHealth2022, it has been too damn long! Can't wait to meet up with you! And yes, I mean YOU.

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

@UCANRJobs is this offer still valid???

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

Gotta say @UCANRJobs, sign me up for that salary!

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

This might be the worst pronunciation of "Phytophthora" I have ever heard.

@klsywd Just California, or everywhere?

[Michael Matson @sherlockGenome]

Them: "So what did you lean in your PhD?"
Me: "Well I like to THINK I'm pretty good as MS Excel copy/paste arts n crafts...."
