These experiments are transforming how I think about field experiments and omics datasets - how can we make them more quantitative?

This is so true and we commit the sin every single year.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis

We are searching for a postdoc in Marine Phytoplankton Metabolism and Carbon Storage! You'll get the chance to combine high-throughput metabolomics and enzymes to study how microbes naturally sequester atmospheric carbon in dissolved organic molecules! jobso.id/m9nq

Is the genome just a bag of genes? A new paper in Science Magazine now reports that for two thirds of an organisms' genes the position along the chromosome is actually very tightly constrained! Amazing work from my favorite night scientist Martin Lercher and his team!

Excited to present work of a few dozen researchers on the recent community-wide update of the CHO metabolic network. This time we show what can be done when you have the whole "biochem textbook" of the cell... with all the pathways and protein structures biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m happy to share that our scCellFie manuscript is finally on bioRxiv — a project that was an amazing opportunity to return to my roots in metabolism! We infer metabolic activity from single-cell & spatial transcriptomics 🧬 Read the pre-print here👇 📄 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

One of the fun things to do at #ASMicrobe is to greet and chat with Mark O. Martin !

I will be giving a talk at #ASMicrobe this afternoon! Looking forward to chatting with y’all!❤️
