🧪 🧫 🥼 Hey, PIs: Have you lost chance to publish bc former students went AWOL? A PI I know can't publish bc student lost interest/can't be reached. Paper is blocked, bc journals want all authors to OK. PI asked 3 colleagues: all had same experience, i.e. had to bin data. How big is that problem??

Mit der einheitlichen CV-Vorlage ermöglicht die DFG u.a. freiwillige Angaben zur "Besonderen persönlichen Situation", wenn sie die Laufbahn >3 Monate beeinflusst hat (Care-Arbeit, Erkrankung, Flucht, eingeschränkte Mobilität etc). So können Leistungen vergleichbarer eingeordnet werden: sohub.io/wdf5

Our preprint on predicting drug resistance in bacteria is now out in @plosbiology.org. We show ignoring phylogenetic structure in genome collections leads to overly optimistic evaluations of machine learning methods for AMR prediction. Work from @yanyingyu.bsky.social with @nwheeler443.bsky.social.

Biased sampling driven by bacterial population structure confounds machine learning prediction of antimicrobial resistance

Machine learning methods have emerged as promising tools to predict antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and uncover resistance determinants from genomic data. This study shows that sampling biases driven b...

The field of bacterial immunity is incredibly vibrant with many novel discoveries and fantastic new biology. Here is a nice summary of some of the work done recently! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The hunt for the next CRISPR: how warring microbes are inspiring new technology

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But scientists have only begun to unlock the secrets of this ancient arms race.

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.

Happy to share our new paper in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social on mapping spatial relationships of the human gut microbiome. We identified distinct spatial hubs between gut bacteria that reflect sub-community assemblies at the micron-scale. Led by Miles Richardson & co. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Split-And-pool Metagenomic Plot-sampling sequencing (SAMPL-seq) can be applied to complex microbial communities to reveal spatial co-localization of microbes at the micron scale.
