It sucks when your father is denied a visa to the country you live because he doesn’t have much money and because of the color of his skin.

Since people are liking the Bocchi colors, I have a whole collection of color palettes on my GitHub: github.com/cxli233/Colo... You will find the hex code, the preview, and the inspiration for each color palette. I hope some of them will be used. #DataVis

This paper originated from a simple idea: Since we want to study SAR11 growth physiology, let’s look at how one SAR11 bacterium becomes two SAR11 bacteria, inspired by the quote from François Jacob, “The dream of a bacterium: to produce two bacteria”.

New paper out in PNAS!!! 🎉 Do more plasmid copies mean faster evolution? 🧵 Dive into the story www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out this month in Science!!! 🎇 We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction!), but what about bacteria?🦠 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The 2020 lockdown has steered me towards thinking a lot about the flow cytometry, as this was the only lab equipment that I mastered by then. It is a special experience that on the day my paper launches, I am at UTMSI helping @suleles.bsky.social set up the new flow cytometry (and meet cute Maya!).
