Cool service and idea. Microbiome science benefits greatly from efforts like this and BugSigDB, among others, to better curate data.

Claude helped. Not vibe-coded. Nice exercise in learning new data engineering techniques while playing with new development toys.

Excited to see Anthropic leaning into streamlining life sciences research with the Claude for Life Sciences initiative. Should be interrogated for accuracy like any other LLM output but it could help define research questions and make bioinformatics more accessible

Really interested to see how the phenomenon of fungal domestication across food microbiomes plays into this discussion around phylosymbiosis. We exogenously select for traits in beer yeast like flavor and fermentation performance, and then endogenously interact with these living microbes. Incredible
The gut MYCOBIOME is akin to the tiny group of kids in the corner of a huge homecoming dance. Their story is largely unknown. In our latest, @emilyvansyoc.bsky.social dives into the evolutionary associations of gut fungi with @erdavenport.bsky.social & Andres Gomez

A salient experiment that elegantly examines how context dependent is hologenome evolution in response to selection on diet quality? The short answer. It is resilient, even when faced with abiotic and biotic disruptors such as post-selection socialization and diet. Brilliant evaluation; a must read
HIGH Nationally, the wastewater viral activity level for COVID-19 is currently high.
Just FYI: while CDC is no longer tracking much of anything, wastewater data is still being reported. COVID-19 levels have just been nationally upgraded to “high”
Looking forward to the peer-reviewed version but very exciting direction.
Big achievement and a lot of work, congratulations Lars!
When other journals were too nervous to lean into this topic, this one leaned in. They specifically have a discovery report section for new insights based on initial observations. Can’t recommend this @plosbiology.org team enough!
Great pop-sci digest by Alex Carr of his recent C. diff modeling work in Cell Systems youtu.be/shp-TjniW48?...

Amazing! The localization in Fig 4 is especially interesting. I wonder if there is an advantage to pumping DCAs back into the host epithelial cells rather than the lumen.

"using our custom designed experimental set-up, we found that mosquitoes are drawn to those who avoid sunscreen, drink beer, and share their bed. They simply have a taste for the hedonists among us."
LOL
Love when great scientists amplify each others' work!
It had to be from Spongebob of course 😂
The emoji-laden lists read like a dead giveaway to AI generated stuff nowadays, even if for some people its a genuine organizational/eye catching convention.
solid foundation in statistics is even more important in the age of AI.
This interactive app explaining statistic concepts is great

I'm beyond excited to share that our last work is now published in Nature Communications.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
The updated version of the database of PhD fellowships produced and maintained by my team can be downloaded by anyone here:
research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...
For each of the 187 fellowships, you will find a short description, deadline, $ amount, link, etc.
Good luck!
Tal does great work! Check his group out.
