Congrats to @quantaofgeorge.bsky.social for being awarded best postdoc talk NeLLi symposium for his phenomenal work on the first successful cultivation of Thiovulum. Mind blowing collective behaviors by the fastest organism per body length on the planet!

This. Is. So. Cool. 🤯

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

📣The #EMBOWorkshop hosted by @multicellgenome.bsky.social#EMBOWorkshopLab has begun! 🔬Three days filled with talks from international experts exploring the #evolution and origins of #multicellularity🦠🧬 #Multicellverse #UnravellingEvolution #DiscoveringLife

Preprint out for myloasm, our new nanopore / HiFi metagenome assembler! Nanopore's getting accurate, but 1. Can this lead to better metagenome assemblies? 2. How, algorithmically, to leverage them? with co-author Max Marin @mgmarin.bsky.social, supervised by Heng Li @lh3lh3.bsky.social 1 / N

My postdoc Emily Junkins giving talk on her exciting project looking at CRISPR evolution with strain level resolution in uncultivated consortia. So proud of her amazing work on this project!

My #ASMicrobe fomo not so bad because I’m SO proud of the work my lab is presenting there :)) check out Biobraulio.bsky.social EEB Poster 4244 for his sneak preview on his amazing thesis.
