Truly insane tweet by the paper formerly known as the Washington Post, which is now offering a "view from nowhere" take on the lunatic fabulist who made a video series trying to prove that Erika Kirk murdered her husband.
Right-wing influencer Candace Owens released the first episode of a new video series focused on the widow of Charlie Kirk.
The series promises to unearth secrets from Erika Kirk’s past relevant to her stewardship of the powerful conservative nonprofit. wapo.st/3MweU2x

Check out our new paper in @MolSystBiol: Transcriptomic profiling of shed cells enables spatial mapping of cellular turnover in human organs embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
We combine spatial and shed cell transcriptomics to reconstruct dynamic turnover maps of digestive tract tissues.

In a couple of months, my lab will have a postdoctoral position available for a computational biologist. The project will focus on bacterial population genomics with strong focus on MGE dynamics. Please get in touch if you feel qualified ([email protected]) or repost.

So Chris and I were quite pleased with our #Cryptosporidium meeting in Philadelphia ... but we clearly can't compete with Mattie and Adam. This looks spectacular, make sure to sign up for Crypto2026! @ParaFrap @TrendsParasitol @BSPparasitology @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @ASTMH
Registration and abstract submission is now open for the 2nd Biennial Cryptosporidium Meeting is now open. Deadline April 1st: eventbrite.co.uk/e/2nd-bienn…
Submit your abstract by Feb 15th. See you in Edinburgh May 24th-26th, 2026!

Cryptosporidium genetics really works! Latest cross explains why tb drug failed in crypto clinical trial. Widespread genomic heterogeneity at the type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenase locus predisposes Cryptosporidium to clofazimine resistance @millseba biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

Thanks so much for involving me in this event Daniel!
Very excited to team up with @MichaelEMann to host @PeterHotez at @pennvet this evening for a public lecture on vaccination in a time of rising anti-science rhetoric and policies.

There are days in life that shake you.
I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

Fun personal note: shoutout to @hostmicrobe for sparking my interest in single-cell analysis. Much progress since @MBLBoP 2022, but it all began one summer evening in the lab exploring parasite single-cell data. Inspirational teacher :)

Farming a single Atlantic salmon can require killing and processing over 1,000 wild school fish like anchovies — critical prey for sea lions, sea birds, penguins, and whales.
Cool to see journalists visualize their own interpretations of our data:

Fish farming is supposed to give overexploited oceans a break. But a new study finds that it may be taking way more fish out of oceans to feed farmed fish than previously thought. New story of mine up on Vox today, replete with new charts: vox.com/future-perfect/37956…

Thx @hostmicrobe ☺️ Your incredible contribution and collaborations were hugely impactful on the lab 👏 and generations of trainees learning high quality transcriptomic analysis including R from scratch giving trainees the power, skills, and confidence to dive into their data 🤯

This would allow seniors to keep billions of dollars of their retirement, remain independent longer, not burden their children with providing care, and means money left to pass on instead of their inheritance going to the owners of nursing homes.
It builds generational wealth.

ngl, going from game dev to Nobel prize in Chemistry is a goated career trajectory

The Māori word for #autism
is takiwatanga, ‘in their own time
and space’ I for one think it’s lovely
to describe the condition I can relate
to this as I find focusing on one thing
at a time works better for me.
