This is an excellent thread summarizing our paper about the flaws in a major cancer microbiome study; wish I'd written it myself. If you don't have time to read our paper, at least read this thread

Overpublishing puts enormous stress on students and PIs. And brings tons of money to publishers in STEM. A new study shows that the number of papers is increasing FASTER than the number of #PhD graduates. It’s an amazing work with very useful statistics. Huge kudos to the

I have performed additional new analyses comparing SARSCoV2 to other animal CoVs in environmental samples from Huanan Market Paper w these new analyses is doi.org/10.1093/ve/vea… & full computational pipeline at github.com/jbloom/Huanan_… The new results are summarized below.

In research published online today in Nature Microbiology, Libusha Kelly and colleagues investigated whether large, artificial-intelligence-based protein language models—similar to ChatGPT but for proteins—could be used to annotate viral proteins bit.ly/3SzWpu8 #AI #SciComm

My short paper on severe ascertainment bias in Worobey is now out. The short talk linked at the end will play in .ppt if downloaded, but not in google docs. doi.org/10.1093/jrsssa…

New open access paper out in NatureEcoEvo TLDR: - Humans pass on more viruses to other vertebrates than they do to us - Generalist viruses (with broad host range) require fewer mutations to infect a novel host 1/ nature.com/articles/s4155…

This is amazing. Can cryptic lineages tell us anything about the origins of SARS-CoV-2 (SC2)? The answer may surprise you, it surprised the hell out of me. 1/

Mathematical reasoning could lead to new insights into the universal characteristics of living systems. For 3.8 billion years, evolution has followed a branching tree pattern, from simple bacteria to complex life forms. But what if the structure of these evolutionary trees

Even though my thesis defense was in July, I'm excited to share that my PhD thesis is now available on Proquest! Here it is: proquest.com/dissertations-…

Very interesting. Would like to see more work in the virus realm, as viruses sit on the edge of our current definition of life.

Five years of work, one big question: Which has a greater impact on aging—our environment or our genes? I'm excited to share our paper published today in Nature Medicine, demonstrating the major role of the #exposome in shaping mortality and #aging. nature.com/articles/s4159…
