MANILA, Philippines — Floods swamped parts of Quezon City on Saturday after an hour of record-breaking rainfall that exceeded levels seen during Trolical Storm 'Ondoy' in 2009, the local government said. Read more: tmt.news/2176398

Do you love phage? I have an opening for a postdoc in my lab at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science (@cmarinescience.bsky.social) looking at interactions between marine phage and iron, which is an important limiting trace metal in the oceans (1/5) 🧵#phagesky 🦠🌊

"if we do the work only for rewards and recognition, we have gone astray. It becomes hollow. Creative work of every sort (not just science) occurs in a niche where the inner drive to understand or express and the outer drive to be rewarded achieve some balance."

PelV-1, a newly identified giant virus infecting dinoflagellates, features a 2.3 µm tail and a diverse genome, expanding current understanding of marine viral diversity and morphology. doi.org/g9wn3r

Ons thing that's really bugging me about the "PhD level intelligence" is that a PhD isn't a measure of intelligence, it's a measure of commitment to study and specialisation in a narrow field (and opportunity to do so). "PhD level intelligence" isn't really a meaningful phrase

Trainees: If you haven't already, learn the value of implementing the Bat Signal with your peers. When you're stuck and need a body double, a review, a brainstorm, an escape... this can be game-changing. Don't worry about being a bother, instead: pay it forward. We all need it a some point. 1/3

Very proud of the work from lab members and collaborators that coincidentally came out today www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... and www.nature.com/articles/s41.... A bacterial and viral pathogen associated with mass mortality in seastars and oysters. @kevinzhong2006.bsky.social @rhizalyssa.bsky.social

Academia is basically a collection of people who got lucky early on and mistook it for genius. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Back in bluesky after a hiatus. 😄 I also started a postdoc at Cornell, working with @ianhewson.bsky.social and it has been amazing! cals.cornell.edu/people/andri...

Crowdsourcing: I vaguely remember reading a perspective paper on the need to culture more phytoplankton/microbial eukaryotes. Anyone familiar with that article?

I had such an amazing time!!! I can't thank the organizers enough (@merenbey.bsky.social @floriantrigodet.bsky.social, @iva et al) And also the travel support that made this workshop truly inclusive of ECRs across the globe. Thank you @hifmb.de! :D

Napakahusay ng Isang Himala (2024)!!! Ibang level!!! Go watch it before it’s gone. #MMFF2024

In company of such brilliant folks. #NatGeoAsiaPacific

I love that people think i’m in theater.

Home soon 🇵🇭☺️

I couldn’t find a starter pack for POCs working in STEM, so I started one myself - my network here is still small and I didn’t want to assume how people identify, so please reply or DM me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/BJkKQVR

@acescicomm.bsky.social and I met here and realized we both were looking for more #SciSky #PinoyScientists 🇵🇭🧪! So, we joined the starter pack bandwagon ... 😅 We also want to highlight folx and what they do ✨ Please fill out the form if you're interested in joining: forms.gle/h4WUpE1T9jHt...
