When should you start growing microbes? In high school, of course! 🔬 Itzhak Mizrahi gave a lecture to the students of Eshel HaNasi school today and inspired the new generation of scientists.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

My favourite talk this morning AGBT Meeting Dr Dr. Laura Boykin Okalebo bringing on-farm sequencing for virus detection to cassava farmers in east Africa. Early detection leads to faster & effective response,saving the farmer's crop. Talk about impactful science beyond the publications! #AGBTAg

We made a new tool to help people process deep #metagenomics data.  If you’re scared of R and prefer to clicky click and draggy drop things instead, while making beautiful figures, check this out.  Oh and it’s free, are we crazy?!? #microbiome #phage #AMR

Scientists use DNA sequencers smaller than a deck of cards to identify pathogens on-site at outbreak locations. These tools work on laptops or phones—even in remote areas—helping track Ebola, influenza and more in real-time. Learn more: bit.ly/447JhlY

The administration’s proposal to convert scientist positions to Schedule F—political appointees—has enormous implications for the independence of program managers and institute directors. If you have comments about the proposed change, submit by June 7.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Me: Tenure is a serious academic milestone. Also me: I’ll make a ballgown from research posters if I get tenure. Tenure happened. I keep my promises. No sewing. Just glue, chaos, and 6 years of science. 👗🧪🎓🧬🐓💻🐄
