Food deserts "didn’t materialize around the country for no reason," Stacy Mitchell writes. "Something happened. That something was a specific federal policy change in the 1980s."

I just made a first release of TNA - new tool to compare 2 bacterial genomes. Is shamelessly inspired by ACT, but should be simpler to use. Drag-n-drop two genomes: it runs BLAST for you and then you can visualize. For Mac, Windows 11, Linux tna.readthedocs.io

The never before seen Borrelia burgdorferi caught in the act of making trouble in our mouse model of borrelia infection-associated chronic illness. I feel so grateful to get to collaborate with Kunzan Liu (who took these sunning images), and Sixian You who makes the invisible visible.

Elegantly put Dr. Liu, thank you for sharing this message.
As many are gathering for #Thanksgiving, it’s a reminder that some precious seats are empty.
Loss is often amplified on holidays, anniversaries, etc.
If you find yourself struggling, don’t worry alone.
Reach out to a friend. Schedule time with a therapist or psychiatrist.
You are worth it! 🌱

A reminder to publish in and support society journals with your limited (volunteer) time as authors, editors, and reviewers.
The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on?
