Awesome lab doing great science and leading the way in marine omics research!

Please, #microbiome and #sequencing data are NOT zero-inflated. Let's stop repeating this nonsense. Zero-inflated compared to what?? Those zeroes carry important information about abundance and sequencing depth, and are not "inflated" in any sense. 1/6

I would love to be added, if there’s still room! Thanks!

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

National Science Foundation suspends salary payments, leaving researchers unable to pay their bills An NSF online payment system remained down after the federal funding freeze was lifted, leaving early-career scientists scrambling to pay bills

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house."

Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

A global comparison of surface and subsurface microbiomes reveals large-scale biodiversity gradients, and a marine-terrestrial divide The microbiomes of Earth’s surface and subsurface environments are different in composition, but similar in diversity.

Deep life is astonishing and diverse, and we have so much more to learn!

So happy that this study is out. Big thanks to co-first author @bellahda.bsky.social and all the collaborators!

Retention of blue‐green cryptophyte organelles by Mesodinium rubrum and their effects on photophysiology and growth As chloroplast-stealing or “kleptoplastidic” lineages become more reliant on stolen machinery, they also tend to become more specialized on the prey from which they acquire this machinery. For exampl...

We've got a new paper out! Our team shows that #Mesodinium rubrum can (temporarily) make a living on blue-green prey, something that surprised my science-big-brother Matt Johnson so much that he made me run the central experiment 5 times. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
