mGems are short, thought-provoking reviews on high-interest topics in microbiology. Read the first 3 papers in this series: on #H5N1, viral entry, and the damage-response framework. #mbio journals.asm.org/journal/mbi…
A great new mBio mGem from @Lakdawala_Lab on transmission and exposure risks of dairy cow H5N1 influenza virus journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

I am #hiring a Research Scientist with bioinformatic skillsets. If you or someone you know is interested in translational / clinical genomic research, and want to make a meaningful impact for children with rare diseases and cancers, let me know!

Prospective power analysis is hilarious because your replace an arbitrary guess of sample size with an arbitrary guess of the effect size you’ve yet to measure, do a touch of arithmetic, and suddenly it’s considered rigorous
New work from Jianrong Li's lab at OSU showing three SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants delivered intranasally by measles and mumps vaccines are broadly protective. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
What software is everyone using for generating high res publication figures? We recently made the switch from Powerpoint to Illustrator, but the university is canceling our Adobe subscription and a monthly fee for everyone in the lab isn't gonna work. 🥲😡😩
