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.

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship.

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.

Trump Is Trying to Destroy Public Health in America
