Something I learned today - Taking a moment to remember the awesome people I've met with a 1 sentence description of our conversation. Giving me a moment to have this banana too! #CERF2019

Snapped some fun photos at the #CERF2019 photobooth with Justyna Hampel, Ph.D. Dr. Mollie Yacano Jim Holmquist Abhishek Naik and twitterless Anne Giblin. Make sure to stop by and leave your mark! Coastal & Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) #CERFfamily #thanksCERF

The pan-immune system of bacteria: antiviral defence as a community resource Bernheim and Sorek present the ‘pan-immune system’ model in which bacteria employ horizontal gene transfer to access immune defence mechanisms encoded by closely related strains rdcu.be/bWgoC

We're heading to the hottest Arctic fall season in 3M years. Entire basin & Greenland 16°C to 28°C warmer than normal.

An eye opening talk by Dr. Sturdivant (@WormCam).100s of benthic indices =/= accurate picture of benthic health, just as IQ an oversimplified measure of intelligence #CERFScience #CERF2019

I finally went through all my bookmarked tweets to compile a list of resources I want my grad students to have and wanted to (1) thank everyone who posted these resources, and (2) pay it forward and share the compiled list with all of you!

Interested in studying #Protists in the #environment or #hosts? Check our preprint. Happy for comments. Hopefully used to help people starting Protist stuff! David Bass @daniel_vaulot etc

Prospective grad students. If you're interested, shoot me an email or DM. I'm happy to help with applications. Projects are available looking at interspecies interactions, and mechanisms of action and resistance to microcins. Support as teaching or research assistant is possible.

I paused before posting this, because I’m not sure if #AcademicTwitter is ready. But I realize that most don’t have a lot of black mom scientists on your timeline. So if you’re interested in learning about my experience right now, here’s a (vulnerable) snapshot:

Colleagues at #ASLO21 - join me as I gush about marine biofilms (one of the great loves of my life) and how they handle shear stress. Watch the pre-uploaded talk under "Additional Information" here: aslo.secure-platform.com/a/solicitation…. Live mini-talk: Friday 6/25 at 7 am EST #biofilms

As requested by some of you, there is now a book of these posts! 📗 bookdown.org/IndrajeetPatil… Makes it easy to- 📑 read 🔍 search 🔗 share etc. It ain't pretty, but that's the best I'd do in a day 😅 PRs welcome if you notice that something is amiss 🙏 #rstats #DataScience

Our paper is finally out! We discuss succession and UV- disturbance responses in coastal biofilm microbial communities Pia Moisander #biofilms #marinemicrobes journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae…

Stunning never-before-seen images of the kelp #microbiome at micron-scales open new insight into seaweed biology & coastal ecosystems. #OpenAccess microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

You're doing all you can to cut your carbon footprint; then a gas leak produces 18,000 annual cars' worth of methane in a single hour, and you despair. THIS is why your climate shadow is so much more impt than your footprint. We need systemic soln's. bnnbloomberg.ca/unregulated-te…

“It’s gut-wrenching to study antimicrobial resistance using expensive genomic sequencing platforms, while not being able to provide a generic antibiotic to a patient who walked kilometres to reach the hospital,” writes Kondwani Jambo, PhD in a nature World View. go.nature.com/3xME2GQ

Forgot to post this in the midst of defense prep (successfully defended!): We recently had another paper from my dissertation work published. We show that when it comes to deterring marine biofilms with strong underwater shear, more is not always better journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…
