Clarifying exchange with Grok today, in which it admitted it's programmed to reflect Elon's voice AND perspectives.

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.
Excited to potentially get 2 new close Asst Prof colleagues this year:
-If you do work at the intersection of AI and environmental life sciences, apply to CEE: faculty-searches.mit.edu/cee…
-If you do work in epidemiology or infectious disease, apply to IMES: faculty-searches.mit.edu/ime…
If you do work at the intersection of AI/computation and environmental life sciences, please do apply to be my colleague in @MIT_CEE !
We're looking for two Asst Profs, one with @MIT_SCC on computation and environmental life sciences. Join @oxcordero, @conTaminatedsci, @c_terrer, Darcy McRose, Serguei Saavedra and I to expand our impact in this essential area. Please apply! @MIT_CEE faculty-searches.mit.edu/cee…

Are you looking for a pos-doc? We just opened two positions to study bacteria evolution in the gut in Gordo's Lab at the Gulbenkian Institute ;)! See gimm.pt/jobs/postdoctoral-re…

.@DrBrianMay is both the legendary Queen guitarist and a (night) scientist! "Everything comes down to asking the right questions and keeping an open mind, and resisting the terrible inclination [...] of finding what you expect to find."
Would you join us on the @nightsciencepod?

"Eugenics has never worked primarily by producing more intelligent babies. Instead, it has worked by creating the illusion that intelligence is primarily genetic, absolving governments of responsibility for ameliorating social inequality."

Our latest paper assesses the impact of antiseptics on the viable skin microbiome. The #skinmicrobiome is highly viable and resilient to insult but resistant pathogens are selected for increasing the risk of infection in the short term. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
When I think about RBG, I will always first remember that she let her ego cause permanent damage to the project of American democracy, by not stepping down when it was time.
Biden has been a great president but should avoid a similar legacy.

You laugh, but "adopt simple best practices the rest of the world adopted decades or centuries ago" is exactly the spirit that American infrastructure policy needs right now
Sorry, Mr. Rat. The all-you-can-eat buffet is coming to an END.
We're the FIRST administration doing the work to get millions of tons of trash off our sidewalks every day. First containers for businesses and now the official NYC Bin for small apartment buildings. This is how we improve the quality of life in our city.

Molstar has long been one of my favourite resources to show people how cool biology really is.
They recently added 'guided tours' that allow you explore in detail for example how HIV works. Awesome work by Ludovic Autin and @dsgoodsell - check it out!

We are on the look out for postdocs to join the Lieberman Lab at MIT. Areas include:
-Connecting bacterial warfare to strain dynamics in vivo -Evolution and transmission of strains in humans
-Revisiting role of microbes in acne
Take a look at our recent preprints and reach out!

This new review paper from Chris Voigt's lab is a must-read for #synbio researchers and investors. His keynote at #SEED2024 contained a lot of the case studies and thinking in this paper.
