Today's update: increasing numbers of last-minute study section cancellations owing to absence in the FedReg. This includes BV (close to home) and BMCD (NCI).
This is yet another example of procedural impoundment and is described well here:

Happy Black History Month! I’m not sure if ASM is celebrating this year, so I’ll share some links to ASM resources I had previously collated on black women in microbiology that are now deleted (or at risk of being deleted). Deleted content can be viewed via the internet archive (links provided).

The journal mSphere published by ASM provides an opportunity to early career scientists to write about studies that have influenced them. I was fortunate to be recommended by Dr. Alfredo Torres. Thank you mSphere and Dr. Torres for the opportunity.

I stumbled across a video my graduate class made for retreat 17 years ago. And it reminded me of the joy and belonging I felt then. Like I’d finally found my people. I often still feel that way. youtu.be/d3tzNjGU0jo

The Coady lab attended the fall Texas Branch ASM meeting last week, went to a lot of talks, presented posters, gave talks, met up with friends, and had a great time. #txasm

This is a story I’ve watched the Dickson lab develop.
I really did not care about mosquito genetics & climate change research when I started. Now… I still don’t.
But I do care about virus dissemination & this work argues climate change shifts mosquito genetics altering arbovirus ifxn.

Microbiome twitter, we are looking for negative control samples from as many sources and kits as possible. If you've included blanks in your 16S or ITS amplicon seq project and the data is publicly available, drop a link in the thread!
RTs appreciated!

Behind every seemingly sane early stage professor, there is a slack of other ESIs shitposting through it with her...you know who you are.
Behind every woman is a slack channel of other women helping her navigate professional situations.
