Our paper is now out in Gut Microbes! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... See the 🧵 below for an explainer 👇

you can't spell "tariffs" without "FFS"

Just out! Our manuscript (led by Pauline Lanting and @robertwarmerdam.bsky.social) on the generation of pharmacogenetic passports from low-cost GSA oligonucleotide array data.

DOGE is directly involved in the NIH grant terminations. Metadata on one of the grant termination letters says that someone named Joshua Hanley authored it. Hanley is listed on an alleged list of DOGE employees leaked yesterday.

We proudly present our preprint (i.e. not peer-reviewed yet!) on the gut microbiome of treated coeliac disease (tCeD) patients: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.08.584098v2 w/ Hanna Simpson, @irisjonkers.bsky.social, Sebo Withoff and many others. An explanatory thread 🧵 (1/15)

Conversation with the brilliant contemporary microbiologist and molecular biologist—HHMI and MacArthur Fellow Bonnie Bassler of Princeton University Pioneer in the chemical signaling mechanisms that bacteria use to communicate with each other known as “quorum sensing” www.hhmi.org/news/tapping...

We hakken de knoop door: De Speld vertrekt van Bluesky en gaat definitief naar X. ‘Sfeer van constructieve, opbouwende dialoog druist in tegen alles waar wij voor staan’

We found something interesting in the evolution of plant microbiota. It is under review and we published the preprint today. Avi Bograd from my lab analyzed the genomes of 38,912 bacteria and identified a clear depletion of all MGE types in plant-associated bacteria vs. non-plant associated bacteria

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Absolutely thrilled to have won the @einsteinberlin.bsky.social Individual #EinsteinFoundationAward. Big congrats to PubPeer and @helenajambor.bsky.social for winning in their categories.

Now that Ricky is also here, we can safely close shop on the other side 😂

📣 Paper: We show that mutators can drive the evolution of multi-resistance to antibiotics, in cases where purely wild type populations can't This came out earlier this year while the other place was imploding But it's a story I'm proud of for many reasons... 1/n journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

I'll start my time here with a question for experienced blueskyers: is there a way to block ELO from popping into your head everytime you go on this app?
