Work with me, an amazing team at #ASM, and leading researchers and editors at #mBio, #mSphere and mSystems in making these #OpenAccess journals indispensable to everyone interested in the microbial sciences. US-based, remote work possible.

Please share broadly.

INVEST IN BETTER VENTILATION FOR SCHOOLS AND WORKPLACES

"For classrooms equipped with mechanical ventilation systems, the relative risk of infection of students decreased at least by 74% compared with a classroom with only natural ventilation,"

#Advent Day7: #Drosophila helvetica is our final (and most enigmatic?) obscura group fly. It is another common, small, dark, sap-flux feeder, but it is the only Eurasian member of the North American pseudoobscura/affinis clade https://www.jstor.org/stable/2422464 . With < 5 WOS-indexed papers, all I can say is that: it’s not hard to ID (sex combs or ovipositor); it is hard to keep in the lab; it has very simple courtship https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/4533126 ; and the genome has just been sequenced https://tolqc.cog.sanger.ac.uk/darwin/insects/Drosophila_helvetica/

California friends: I'll be in the area between December 8th and the 12th if you want to get coffee :) Starting in San Francisco (giving a seminar in
@stanford
on the 9th) and from there to L.A
to record an episode on the Huberman podcast
- can't wait and hope to see you there!

Hi all, my #introduction! I lead a #neuroscience research lab at Emory University called the Perception and Action Lab. We study how the brain allows us to actively explore and learn about the world through body motion. We're particularly interested in modeling and understanding distributed computations across multiple brain areas, and how these computations change during hearing loss and other conditions. I mostly post about work but sometimes other things too!

I've updated my list of "The ten best books for thinking clearly about statistics".
It's now eleven, but aspiring clear thinkers won't mind that.
Spread the word!

Great popular science article on #supergenes and #inversion #evolution in @QuantaMagazine . Definitely where i will point my family to next time they give me a blank stare when I try to explain my research! https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-supergenes-fuel-evolution-despite-harmful-mutations-20221108/

Giro, muito giro.

Then everyone can use the debirdify app to gather followers/followed from Twitter and import them/connect with them on Mastodon with a couple of clicks!

Ok, friends. I'm shutting things down on the bird app in the next two days and will be found on 🦣: @NicoleKing

Hope to see you there!

Here's my story about the new record for ancient DNA: an entire ecosystem at least two million years old--a forest home to mastodons, not far from the North Pole. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/07/science/oldest-dna-greenland-species.html

Sure is looking like the #Ebola outbreak in Uganda has been brought under control — unless there's a transmission chain authorities have missed.

As @sciencecohen reported this week, hard to see how the Ebola Sudan vaccines get tested now.
