A large part of what we chatted about comes from the awesome work of @cumsille.bsky.social. Check it out!
Thursday: time for #MattersMicrobial Episode #81! Dr. Marc Chevrette talks about genome mining, secondary metabolites, and why microbes are the very best chemists. Please share the #GoodMicrobialWord. @profvrr @wildtypeMC

Reminder that you can apply for the GRC AEM even if you working under a travel freeze (like I am). Applying doesn't mean you have to pay anything, you are just putting your hat in and show you are interested. The more people apply, the easier it is for us to defend funds! www.grc.org/applied-and-...

After 24 years of work, I’m thrilled to announce the TYMEFLIES dataset, which comprises metagenomes from Lake Mendota (Madison, WI), collected roughly every 10 days (471 samples) for 20 years! @quendi.bsky.social @robinrohwer.bsky.social

Faculty mentoring in academic institutions, a thread.
As I advance in my academic career (read: as I keep getting more gray hair), I've come to appreciate, even more than before, the profound responsibility we (senior-ish faculty) have to support and nurture emerging talent, not diminish it.

Closed genomes from new Asgard archaea lineages using PacBio metagenomes!

The sampling in this one is this is quite literally a backyard in northern California. Asgard archaea are not just found in extreme environments, but pretty much all around us!
