“Soil is one of the last frontiers on Earth,” says @avahoffman.com. A new project aims to map it.
Excited to share our first BioDIGS paper! This is one of the coolest, most impactful projects I've ever worked on 🤩 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Global health programs are not charity. They are insurance policies and the most affordable protection we have against future pandemics. Containing outbreaks at their source costs millions. Letting them spread costs billions — and lives."

That’s a wrap! Thanks for joining us for ACC2025! 🧬💻
Hey are you looking for a postdoc focusing on microbial
ecology/bioinformatics? Hit me up - it’s not my lab but trying to help someone else staff their lab. If you have a student about to defend, this could be a great chance to get a ton of papers.
If you want to try out AnVIL, join the AnVIL Virtual Workshop on Tuesday September 2 from 3-5 pm ET! You'll learn about the platform, how to bring & find data, and use the analysis tools on the platform!

Really appreciated how @sethf.bsky.social described using AI in the evolution class that we co- teach: “ it’s like paying for a gym membership and then using a forklift to raise and lower your weights.”
How the heck does scientific funding even work?!? I had a lot of fun on this episode of EIPH 🤓
💫FREE💫 AnVIL training alert! Look out for the AnVIL 101 workshop if you're brand new.

> “To me, it is actually a very leftist issue to de-medicalize the way we treat anxiety and depression,” he says, noting that such illnesses are often caused “by social circumstances, by poverty, by loneliness.”
How about we start with societal stigma around life-saving mental health treatments

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

"Academics tend to be averse to discussing mental health openly, and higher education’s mental health safety net is patchy—a forgotten footnote that all too often fails its students." #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth scim.ag/4m61iaU
I served on an NIH panel earlier this year. All told, I spent almost an entire work week (38.25 hours) outside my normal work training, writing critiques, and participating in the panel. W/ the stipend, I made $5.23/hr. There's a lot of unpaid labor in science, but this one feels especially icky.
