#ISBA2025 will be my official introduction in the Actino community.
As we all look at understanding the diversity of these Microorganisms. I remain convinced that diversity drives discovery, from natural product discovery to human community.

If you are a PhD student in microbial interactions or natural products that is displaced by this political bullshit and looking for a new lab, I have room for one (or potentially two) PhD students in my group in the fall when I move to UW. Feel free to reach out via email.

In other words, when you ask for example “do vaccines cause autism?” you are looking for information about whether a thing in the world (a vaccination) produces an outcome (autism). But the LLM can only answer “what words could sound right after this?”

We put together this protocol in part to encourage broader adoption of Multiplexed Activity Metabolomics, an engine for functional metabolomics of all types including specialized metabolite discovery.
We enjoy knowing if metabolite is active before isolating it, and so should you! #natprod

A message sent to tonight to all UMass faculty reminding us that we sacrifice 1st and 4th amendment rights when we travel internationally, and warning that non-citizens put themselves at risk when traveling. I’m glad for the warning & but pissed that this is where we’re at.

I don't usually get much email about my #MattersMicrobial podcast, which is okay. But I had a PhD student in Brazil just write to me, thanking me for a prior podcast I did with @wildtypemc.bsky.social on genome mining, which she found useful. That made me happy.
