Graphic design is my passion

Our work shows how ecological “niches” are almost endlessly divisible. Even under strict laboratory conditions, the E.coli population had heterogeneity that phage species could rely on. (7/8)

[Alvaro Sanchez @asanchez_lab]

YES to all. Virtually every single point in the post resonates with my own experience. I think it's a great read for folks starting their labs, particularly in the US but many of the points apply elsewhere too.

Our study on the biological relevance of novel microbial gene families is out today. Peer review & comments really improved our 2022 preprint: better func. predictions, experimental validations, structural models & impact on microbiome association studies.

Funny thing is I was actually thinking about writing during holidays, this tweet opened my eyes

[Silvia Talavera Marcos @silvtal]

and this is why more and more people are deciding to stay out of the academic job market altogether

[Tim Gill @timgill924]

Grad Students: Holiday break is upon us. Have you created a daily writing schedule or are you planning to lounge around in PJs under the auspices of self-care?

The academic job market comes down to hairline differences between candidates, similar to sports.

I’d choose wisely.

In case of fire ...

[Silvia Talavera Marcos @silvtal]

@eLife Actually, he did clarify. Even more confusing to read your reply, then.

[Silvia Talavera Marcos @silvtal]

@eLife His tweet was just saying "we cannot focus so much in condemning Hamas that we ignore the fact that Gazans are dying". A mild statement actually, he did absolutely not talk about whether he condemns it or not.

Such censorship because of that one tweet is disproportionate.

If sharing an Onion article is grounds for this, make sure never to accidentally watch the wrong TV show or read the wrong book. Never laugh at a joke someone else may not like. Also, do not express concern for the deaths of undesirables, if you wish to have a career in academia.

[Sridhar Ramesh @RadishHarmers]

This is in response to a scientist sharing an Onion article expressing concern for dying Gazans. That's all they did.

My first paper just got accepted for publication in CSBJ😊

The prize for most original poster at #AEET2023 so far definitely goes to @ibartomeus et al for this amazing effort!

"En comunidades bacterianas, la mayoría de las especies son excluidas si se enfrentan solas con las especies más competitivas. Sin embargo, la presencia de las demás especies evita esta exclusión y hace que todas puedan coexistir de forma estable."

[Silvia Talavera Marcos @silvtal]

@GelbachPatrick I see. It'll be interesting to try to figure out how to classify interactions if we end up using this tool. Thank you for your clear reply and the code!!

[Silvia Talavera Marcos @silvtal]

@GelbachPatrick I read your paper as part of a comparison with multiple FBA-based methods, and I found it very interesting😊 congrats

Do you think it is feasible to explore the space of interaction types (fig 2) for communities of 3 or even more members?

Also, is the code available anywhere?
