🚨This week in @PNASNews 🚨 Our new paper led by @sb_worthan examining a pH sensitive substitution in the Rho transcription terminator that evolved experimentally in the lab and then found in natural populations! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… A thread 🧵!
Rage bait, but I’m very thankful to the NIH. They funded large portions of my predoctoral & postdoctoral training, as well as my current lab with our R35. My career as a biologist would not be possible in its current form without the opportunities provided by the NIH.
Abolish the NIH. The NIH is an abomination. Everyone knows this. Every time I talk to a biologist they say "yes, the NIH is horrible, it's impossible to get anything interesting funded by it, it's getting worse by the year, and God I hope Congress increases its budget because…
I can think of two examples, both men who happen to be brothers. The first is Dr. André L. Churchwell, Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University; the second is Dr. Keith Churchwell, President of the American Heart Association.
What an amazing conference! #chsmicrobiome is one of my fav meetings bc the basic science creativity is so strong. I always leave with new ideas and a new colleagues! @cshlmeetings I have a goal for the next meeting! Have a super strong #WomensHealth representation! I’ll be…
In today’s publishing landscape, it’s pivotal that grant reviewers to pay close attention to the authorship footnotes. Co-firsts are increasingly common & dinging people because their name comes second will hurt many women and URMs, who are more prone to offer to share credit.
Dear Reviewer, You have one job and that is to read grant properly. In case you are on X, here is my first author publication during my postdoc. science.org/doi/abs/10.112…
Introducing our lab’s newest Ph.D candidate William McLaughlin. William is doing an awesome microbial systems ecology project that’s already turning out some cool results. Keep an eye out for this rising star.
🚨🚨🚨Jobs at IU!🚨🚨🚨 Multiple positions in computational biology, broadly interpreted. Positions can be in multiple depts, including Biology, Informatics, and CS. Please apply--we want new colleagues! jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/664327/mul…
📢 Announcing the #ScopesSymposium! A deep dive into evolution, science, and the historic trial that shaped #evolution #education. Join us as we explore Truth, Evidence, and Discovery. Mark your calendars! @NCSE
This is a formal plea for VUMC catering to bring back breakfast pizza. 🍕
Raise your hand 🙋♀️ if you have been the main intellectual driver of any of your first author papers and the last author’s role was mostly administrative (I.e. provided you with freedom/research space/ funds)
My PhD institution (UGA) beat my undergrad (Auburn), but my faculty institution just beat Bama. No complaints here about this Game Day Saturday in the SEC! #AnchorDown ⚓️
It looks like I never posted anything (*but see below) on what are probably the most surprising results my lab obtained so far. Anyway, this work—led by an outstanding former PhD student Sarah Ardell in collaboration with @_miloj—is now published: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
I can’t emphasize how extraordinary this book is. An incredible synthesis of how evolution actually shapes cell function, following The Origins of Genome Architecture (also life changing). Enough ideas in here for a few decades. And @wc_ratcliff gets a shoutout!
Finally caved and installed the updates. This the outcome. Incredible. 😭😭
We were glad to host Dr. Worthan @sb_worthan from Dr. Behringer's laboratory @megbehri and her fantastic work on bacterial evolution. We gain many lessons about bacterial cell growth and working conditions.
Why yes, Google, now that you mention it I am VERY interested in this news story. Looks like an amazing insightful paper! I bet the authors are terrific people too! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Crushed to hear this. Scott Santos was an amazing professor. He got me into bioinformatics while I was a student at Auburn, and by teaching me to code he essentially changed my life. This is a beautiful write up about him. He’ll be truly missed. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…
Imagine if when I was selecting a major at 18 years old, someone told me you could study both microbiology and viticulture. 😭
The older the vine, the better the wine? 🍷Scientists assessed how vine age impacts the grape mycobiome, shining light on microbial functions in pressed grape juice fermented with either commercial and indigenous S. cerevisiae yeast. @JournalSpectrum: asm.social/26B
