Always love a good data visulization. Sea of red at the end is not alarming 😬🔥.

Microbial dark matter, iChip, texiobactin. Entertaining and informative talk from Kim Lewis on #antibiotic discovery. #ASMMicrobe2016

Derrick crooks using whole genome sequencing to predict antibiotic susceptibility. Amazing. #ASMMicrobe2016

What! Butter not bad for health…but what you spread it on might be. Alright, butter and broccoli it is. flip.it/.Fovg

Nature never ceases to amaze. Watch out malaria (perhaps zika). flip.it/39sGb

Interesting re-examination of an old question. Why do certain bacteria grow quickly while others grow slowly? nature.com/articles/nmicr…

Sitting with a strong drink and watching some solid election coverage by The Young Turks (new on Substack @tytnetwork). Still hopeful. #NeverTrump #TYTLive

Time to think hard about the political shortcomings that left people vulnerable to #Trump. Regather and continue to fight. #OurRevolution.

Garner lab showing B. subtilis increase amount and directionality of mreB complex to control growth rate. Beautiful microscopy. #BBM2017

Great talk by Daria Van Tyne at #BBM2017. Outbreak isolates of E. feacalis gain recurring SNPs that increase tolerance to beta-lactams.

RNASeq pipeline in R up and running... Trimmomatic -> QuasR for mapping and feature counts -> edgeR for differential expression. #bioc2017

Inaugural run of the MinION in the Gilmore Lab. De novo assembly = closed chrom. and 3 plasmids. Some expected SNPs but not bad. #nanopore

Thanks to Daria Van Tyne. I had a feeling those delicious, well-textured, and shelf-stable foods were hiding something. x.com/DariaVanTyne/s…

#mbta #redline "moderate" delays once again. The MBTA should at least provide games. Round of Settlers or Risk anyone. We've got plenty of time on our morning commute.

Saw this and momentarily paniced it negated my PhD work. Only changes part of a figure in a review I coauthored. 😌 Now curious about the true ppGpp-dependent pathway controlling persistence in G-'s mbio.asm.org/cgi/content/lo… x.com/WvSchaik/statu…

Amazing. Until we make software that can devise schemes for bespoke molecular cloning and comparative genomics analysis. Then I'm out of a job 😟. x.com/nature/status/…

A persistent E. faecium bacteremia acquired heteroresistance to 3 Abx in response to prolonged multidrug therapy: contribution of plasmid recombination ow.ly/mVrA30jgVvg #ASMClinMicro

Recently discovered EasyFig from @biomjsull. Great visualization tool for synteny among a family of ICEs I'm studying.

Good luck to masses of commuters taking the #mbta #redline this morning. Two packed trains at Alewife not moving for 20mins. Now way this will have compounding impacts 😒.
