Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

So excited this work is out! 🦠🧫🐾🥼🧪 If you want to cultivate and isolate bacteria from sensible microbial samples collected in the field and needed to be transporters to the lab, take a look at the study we conducted using multiple preservation solutions with or without cryoprotectants.
