"The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine." Seems especially true of the microbiome. Congrats to my grad student Braden Tierney on identifying "singleton" genes, a new window into microbiome diversity. CellH&M: bit.ly/2Hm0xsP

Long time brewin', but thrilled to see our work describing a human-microbiome metabolic symbiosis in exercise published in Nat Med today: go.nature.com/2LeBAC0. Extremely proud of my grad students Jacob Luber and Ted Chavkin, and the guy that started all of this Jon Scheiman.

To my #genomics and #microbiota colleagues: though @Novogene_US's prices may lure you in, be wary trusting time-sensitive business (is there any other kind?) to them. The turnaround timeline is a complete mystery from day 1 and they'll keep you guessing past your grant deadlines

Ford & Tesla are the only 2 American car companies to avoid bankruptcy. I just got home from the factory. You think this is an option. It is not.

A completely crazy, utterly plausible theory about why Peter Thiel supports Donald Trump. @jeffbercovici on.inc.com/2af8iji
