📣Huge preprint 🔔 Today we share something our group has been working toward for a long time, led by @lucasmoriniere.bsky.social We asked can we predict which receptor a phage targets from its genome sequence alone? For most phages, we couldn’t. So Lucas set out to do something I had only dreamed of.

"In repeating that colleges have 'gone soft,' pundits are, in some sense, telling universities what they want to hear. Schools would much rather wring their hands over vague cultural 'softness' than admit the obvious: that their revenue-maximizing logic is actively undermining educational quality."

The Real Cause of Grade Inflation

Grade inflation is the predictable result of how American universities now organize teaching, labor, and money.
