My painting got featured at the 'Student Art Spotlight' by the Moss Arts Center @ArtscenteratVT
This was the first time ever that I publicly shared my art.
Feels good to be recognized. 😋

We received outstanding participation and engagement during our recent codeathon to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), co-hosted by @NIAIDNews! We had 60 participants that formed 10 teams with 10 countries represented. Learn more about their work: ow.ly/OqVO50TJf27

SOSP attendees, @suyash_sg is looking for an academic job this year, and Levy Deng, Timothée Zerbib for PhD positions (all attending). Hire them! You won't regret it. Though Suyash might force you to write scripts in shell ;-).

So @nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …

Do you need to identify viruses or plasmids in sequencing data? geNomad can help you with that 😃
🚨 Preprint alert!
16hrs to write a whole grant?!
If this is real then Universities should have 24hr long "Grantathons" for new profs so they can collaborate with such experienced profs and submit full grants together.
Replying to @SashaGusevPosts
How long does it take to write a grant? R01s are 13 pages of science: 3-4 are bespoke (say, 6-8 hours); the rest are aims that can be repurposed from content intended for a manuscript (another 6-8 hours). So ~16 hours dedicated time per grant.

What if you could image 🔬cells and then choose which ones to sequence 🧬?
What if you could go back and image 🔬cells that you previously sequenced 🧬?
Now you can 🔬 then 🧬 then 🔬 cells again with Light-Seq!

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:
Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability
Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

You loved playing “Allergies or COVID?” Now get ready for “Mosquito Bite or Monkeypox!”
I wanted to write a "starting a new position" tweet but instead this is how I'm stuck at home, missing my first week of internship (all the cool social events), because someone in the house I moved in just tested positive for COVID!
Best career advice that I have ever received!

I agree, great publishing experience with @MicrobioSoc ; the paper looks beautiful due to figures by @parul142 and @TLowePower . Thank you, @TLowePower for your leadership getting this done and published and all great co-authors including @CaitilynAllen and @maf2371

A thread on papers about workflow systems (and, downstream of them, executable manuscripts) to motivate my final grad class today -

Congratulations to Dr. Boris Vinatzer on receiving the 2022 CALS Outstanding Graduate Student Mentor! This is a well-deserved and outstanding achievement recognizing his excellence in working with and mentoring graduate students.
Excited to share that our paper on Meta-analysis of Ralstonia solanacearum species complex got accepted to Microbial Genomics!
Thank you @TLowePower @CaitilynAllen @VinatzerLab @maf2371 for the wonderful collaboration.

What is the best method for taxonomic profiling in long-read shotgun #metagenomic datasets? We put several to the test in a new study, using @PacBio #HiFi and @nanopore data!!! Awesome collaboration with @ctitusbrown and @saltyscientist: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. 🧵1/8

Metagenomics with the @nanopore MinION shows promise in fungal plant pathogen identification; boxwood blight as proof of concept rdcu.be/cFKck. Congrats to first author @yangshu1020 co-authors @maf2371 @plantpathva @songli_at_vt. @VT_TPSC @VT_TPSC @FralinLifeSci
