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 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

📣 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...
