Nearly 400 “good guys” responded to the Uvalde shooting: 5 school officers, 25 Uvalde officers, 16 sheriff's deputies, neighboring law enforcement, 149 Border Patrol officers, 91 state police officers, 13 US Marshals and 8 federal DEA officers.
They couldn’t stop one bad guy.

Thanks for the publication shout-out @DeNovix! We use a DS-11 series in my lab for DNA/RNA quantification.
Check out this study investigating how the human skin virome may act as an alternative DNA profile.
A DeNovix dsDNA High Sensitivity assay and DS-11 were used to quantify DNA libraries.

Never regret a day in your life; good days give happiness, bad days give experiences, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories.
Apropos of St. Patrick's Day, I had a discussion with the students about what plant the Shamrock is and I came across this interesting @SmithsonianMag article: smithsonianmag.com/arts-cult…

The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...

As a 🇺🇦🇺🇸, I can’t just stand aside while this atrocious act of Russian aggression on🇺🇦unfolds. Happy to offer several short-/long-term lab fellowships for students/postdocs/senior scientists from Ukraine. DM for details or just help us spread the word. -OK #IStandWithUkriane

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”
I know the topic of species delimitation in fungi is massive. We had a journal club on the topic led by graduate students. This manuscript was the result of our discussions - out today in @FrontMicrobiol.

Giant mushrooms (termitomyces titanicus) can be found in Zambia.
They are the largest edible fungus in the world.

Some more food for thought, here.
More disruptive writing.

I should mention that this publication, which came from our discussions during a graduate student-led journal club, is in early view at @PhytobiomesJ. Thanks @APSbacteriology!

I often see this comparison of glaciers on Svalbard posted without attribution. It’s from a whole series comparing photos taken by the Norwegian Polar Institute in 1928 and by Christian Åslund, a Stockholm-based photographer, in 2002. See the others here:
