💥 Excited to introduce Bacformer 🦠 - the first foundation model for bacterial genomics. Bacformer represents genomes as sequences of ordered proteins, learning the “grammar” of how genes are arranged, interact and evolve.

I want to expand on the extent to which IDEAA materials have been purged: I wrote an article last year for women’s history month on the history of women in antimicrobial development….DELETED.
I’m on one of ASMs IDEAA committees and we have received 0 communication from ASM staff on why this is happening. I had to find out via social media. Extremely disappointing.
ASM website screenshots from the wayback machine in December '24 (web.archive.org/web/20241211...) vs today. Pretty disappointing!! 🧪

Coining the term "rumen community types" (RCT)
New preprint out from @cmkobel.bsky.social, @velma-te-a.bsky.social, @microbesrule.bsky.social and many others! 📄

It's been very cool to follow and play a small part in this story: Carl and Velma found two distinct community types across omics layers in the cow rumen that are driven by protozoa 🐮👾
Protozoal populations drive system-wide variation in the rumen microbiome https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.05.626740v1

Hi Bluesky! 🦋

I am transitioning to this platform and will start posting here about my own and others' cool science! 🤩

Sad to say goodbye to science Twitter, but I can't keep using a platform that is being used to destroy democracy...

I'll be moving my old Twitter posts here in the coming days.

My supervisor, @velma-te-a.bsky.social, is so cool!!!

Check out her talk on ciliate multi-omics, taking you through a history of science.

Which style is better?

data %>%
mutate(type = "significant")

or

data %>%
mutate(type = "significant")

Wouldn't it be better if R had a non-vector data type, then there would be no doubt distinguishing vectorized and non-vectorized functions?
