Check out our work on methods to isolate and quantify SARA-CoV-2 RNA from stool presented as a virtual Journal Club talk. I enjoyed putting this video together with Alvin!

Kudos to Fiona Tamburini, Dylan Maghini and team for this exemplary work that not only advances our knowledge of the gut microbiome but importantly does so in a thoughtful, inclusive and empowering manner. #InclusiveScience #CommunityEngagedResearch #HumanMicrobiome #Nanopore

SARS-CoV-2 likely infects the GI tract and can persist up to even 7 months after infection. This could explain Long COVID, and has relevance to personal immunization plans and wastewater-based epidemiology. #COVID #SARSCoV2 #wastewater Stanford Medicine Med by Cell Press

Highly recommend this discussion today featuring Ali and Marlene K Wolfe discussing how wastewater can tell us about the health of our community - events.stanford.edu/event/wastewat…

This fantastic piece on our WastewaterSCAN program dives deep into the process, including the incredible team at @verilylifesci, the participating plants, and the courier! I'm super proud that our work is scaling with this team. Thanks for the great coverage Luz Peña!

Check out this opportunity to be a lab manager at the Bhatt lab at Stanford. I've been a postdoc here for 4 years and can't recommend this group enough. Thoughtful & inclusive peers, PI that centers on trainee development & fun science, and the Bay Area. careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/lab-manag…

NPR reports 350 mass shootings (including 4 this weekend) and 21,000 deaths already this year. The dichotomy of supporting cutting edge medicine to save lives while losing lives to problems with simple solutions (gun reform) thwarted by politics makes no sense!

Our new paper on non-coding CRISPRi screens to functionally characterize enhancers just came out in @NatureMethods ! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Check out this new preprint that identifies bacterial hosts of prototypical crAssphage and reveals their interesting plasmid based existence! Also DanicaSchmidtke and Angela are incredibly talented phage Jedis aka phaJedis!!

Blown away by Joe Bondy-Denomy ‘s work on the ‘Phage that wants to be a eukaryote’. Love the paradigm changing idea of prokaryotic nuclei. Along with other work on cytoplasmic compartments in bacteria, it’s clear that prokaryotes are not just a bag of biomolecules.

I continue to be awe struck by the flagella because a) it is such a complex machine that is fascinatingly similar to mechanical motors, b) it demonstrates the power of evolution, a series of random mutations and natural selection. Check out this new work from Singh et al.

Check out this comprehensive review on CRISPR-Cas associated transposons. It’s sure to inspire your next gene editing strategy!
