- Reposted by Dylan Shropshire🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

- There are lots of things to be sad/mad about these days, but something that always cheers me up is to see talented student get the recognition they deserve. Talented PhD student @alpha423.bsky.social from my lab won first place in our department's Three Minute Thesis (#3MT) competition! #ProudMentor

@vscooper.micropopbio.org and @mostlymicrobes.bsky.social while downloading scientist spotlights for teaching from the site; ASM has also scrubbed the entire IDEAA page including resources on LGBTQ+ scientists at asm.org/IDEAA/resources/pride-month

- Ever wonder how to count very rare and unculturable #microbes? Our new #preprint 🥳 shows that we can use #ddPCR to count as few as 12 #endosymbiont genomes in a 20 uL reaction!🤯 Yes, this is a teaser for things to come.😉 #Wolbachia #Drosophila #SymbioSky #Entomology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- So cool! When bacteria take the reigns!
- “Riftia” is a deep sea vent tubeworm that has no mouth or digestive tract. Rather, it hosts billions of symbiotic bacteria that provide them nutrition. Wildly, they are among the fastest growing organisms on the planet! Our paper examines *how* they pull this off. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
