ICYMI, out now in Nature Biotechnology: BugSigDB captures patterns of differential abundance across a broad range of host-associated microbial signatures Levi Waldron Curtis Huttenhower Nicola Segata nature.com/articles/s4158…

What a week 🎇 The #bugsigdb Outreachy Internships contribution started with a GREAT interest from more than 30 applicants from all around the world! "Curating microbiome studies brings challenges and fun, especially in a such supportive community"

Taking requests for human + non-human microbiome studies to add to bugsigdb.org , any sequencing technology and strategy!

Proud to be a part of this and to be working with such capable and motivated students from all corners of the earth.

Great to hear such enthusiasm from new bugsigdb.org contributor and Outreachy Internships applicant Chikki

In NEW Nature Reviews Microbiology article, Francesco Asnicar Andrew Maltez Thomas andrea passerini Levi Waldron and Nicola Segata cover the aspects that they consider most important to enable microbiologists to use machine learning. nature.com/articles/s4157… 1/2

Will be following Bioconductor wherever it posts :)

How did Microbiome Virtual International Forum start and why? 🦠🌍 Hear it from the voice of Levi Waldron, who envisioned it together with Nicola Segata in 2020. youtube.com/watch?v=x9rxe-… If you can, consider supporting #MVIF through our crowdfunding or in the many other ways listed in the🧵⬇️ Thanks🌷

The March #MVIF program is now confirmed!🥳 Full program with abstracts➡️microbiome-vif.org/en-US/-/future… Registration➡️events.ringcentral.com/events/microbi…

Very kind blog post from my Outreachy Internships mentee Peace 🌺 about the journey to closing her first issue on an open-source software project! peacesandy.hashnode.dev/my-outreachy-i…

This week I had the honor to present at 🇲🇽 Leonardo Collado-Torres team journal club a summary of "Evaluation of software impact designed for biomedical research" Congratulations to mirnas22, Levi Waldron, @jtleek, @avamariehoffman, James Eddy! Check it out: youtube.com/watch?v=13PatN…

Hearing a young scientist get excited about a publicly maintained database kind of makes it all feel worthwhile…

We have a new team member 🎉 our first joint hire for michaeljfox.org Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s with Levi Waldron's lab! Kaelyn Long will work as as a Bioinformatician/Curator on microbiome in Parkinson's disease through data harmonization, curation, and meta-analysis. Welcome, Kaelyn!

Thank you CZI Science for enabling Bioconductor's much-needed upgrade to support continuous integration of its GPU-enabled packages!

Super excited to be collaborating with you Sean!
