A call for healing and unity | mBio
Executive orders signed since 20 January 2025 aim to end programs intended to diversify the scientific workforce via equitable and inclusive practices and processes; cut federal funding for research and innovation; and stifle scientific communications. They represent a stunning reversal of policies that have been the bedrock of the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its leadership in the world, and therefore not surprisingly they have been met with a number of legal challenges. Some of the executive orders have been blocked by temporary restraining orders, and others are pending judicial review.

Happy to share paper from the BiCEst project from Raphael koll.
Was super surprising to see how stable and conserved the microbiome of fish gills between species and across the year. Transition from marine to brackish appears to have an effect, as does eutrophication. Super happy with this work.

Honestly one of the most underrated tools out there. Can build mags, ok just run mOTUs profiler and get taxonomic comp using multiple single copy markers. Got mags??, use mOTUS to see if they known and where they otherwise occur. Best option add your mags to DB and profile.
