I was on an H1B during my postdoc and research scientist years. I currently have exceptional PDs & staff scientists in my lab who are on H1Bs who have and are major contributors to the research output of the US. This is utterly stupid and idiotic. 1/

New paper in #G3journal from @mongemmmm, @MeruSadhu, and colleagues presents a barcode-based high-throughput method that can track large numbers of independent replicates of a small number of combinatorial genotypes. buff.ly/Q0qgBQz

Every few months the "good lab hands" thing comes up and it misses a key point: you can learn to have good hands. Training matters. Good hands aren't some magic gift from the PCR gods, you have to develop them through directed repetitive practice, like any other skill

It's fun to think about this little diagram again many years after drawing it. It occurs to me that the very notion of "mechanism" is an intrinsically biological concept, in many ways a byproduct of the mostly causality-based style of science inherent to the field.

To the extent anyone who works for the government draws salary and benefits, yes. Why should they not? But you are not paying attention to how tax dollars are spent if you think that all $$ in intramural research budgets go into the pockets of the investigator.

Elio Schaechter, eminent microbiologist and great human, leaves us his memoirs that tell the story of an extraordinary life: eliosmemoirs.org. What a fantastic and impactful journey!

Elio was a rock of humanity, a giant of microbiology, and I could never think of the world without him. I will not, as his example lives forever. May we all find the Elio flow state.

depressing to me how biologists, because of their allergy to all things AI/ML, have basically ceded the AI+Bio space to computer scientists

If he is referring to NIMHD, they got 1.1% of the NIH budget. With a mission that covers health disparities across all of the health domains. officeofbudget.od.nih.gov/pdfs/FY26/cy/A…

It’s also ridiculous not to ask him why the health concerns of minoritized citizens who pay their taxes should not receive NIH’s attention.

I’d love to hear biologists weigh in on the fundamental question: can you predict the impact of cell perturbations better by studying the natural variation in a population of healthy cells (more data), or by studying cells that have been perturbed genetically or chemically?

Very excited to share our new work on gastruloids by the incredible @ugcgccacc! We mapped gene expression across 26 individual gastruloids at single-cell resolution and discovered some pretty amazing patterns about how these "mini-embryos" organize themselves.
