The “curse of interdisciplinarity”: Fields like bioinformatics fall between the cracks in grant evaluation. 🧬 For bios: Too little mechanistic validation 🧮 For math: Not enough new theory 💻 For computing: “Just” applied computing Interdisciplinarity is essential, but evaluation hasn’t caught up.
How do host-microbe interactions are affected in spaceflight? This question can be addressed with squids, RNA-seq and bioinformatics! Read the whole paper here. Memorable collaboration with @jamiefoster.bsky.social from @ifas.ufl.edu @bcbhubcsic.bsky.social @i2sysbio.es
