Yuck. Cold Spring Harbor Lab meeting "celebrating" 50 years of recombinant DNA is a #manel #YAMMM With a history of issues in sexism (e.g. Watson) at CSHL this is sad. And bonus featuring Lander w/ his own history of issues as session chair & panel discussion leader

Make sure you stay around for #phages2023 tomorrow morning. Your’s truly will be giving a talk at 10:45 am ☺️

I'm jealous of all y'all in Madison this week! Following the #Phages2023 and I'm braving X (formerly known as Twitter) to see the updates. Have fun and eat some cheese curds for me!

In #npjBiofilms, Angelini et al. show that pulcherrimin, a pigment synthesized by Bacillus subtilis, acts as an antioxidant during #biofilm development. By reducing reactive oxygen species levels it prevents DNA damage. go.nature.com/47pNmRJ

I'm absolutely delighted to be part of the team bringing a hybrid conference to microbial ecology and evolution. Join us for free 9-11 Jan at one of six locations or fully virtually. Let's try this format, learn from it, and build new ways of conferencing! meehubs.org

Please share: Are you a recent graduate looking for more lab experience? Are you organized and love spending other people’s money? I am hiring a tech to support the lab-to start ASAP! The position is for a year (can be extended if funding allows) amherst.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Amherst_…

Science X (formerly Twitter): did anyone find any better alternatives than X? I am glad many of you are still here, but I miss the vibrant community of the golden days of Twitter. Mickey in a raincoat for extra attention

I'm liking it so far! Please find me: bsky.app/profile/heidia…
