Whenever I presented Phold, I was frequently asked "can you do the same beyond phages?" We ( @oschwengers.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social @binomicalabs.org et al) finally did it with Baktfold github.com/gbouras13/ba... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Help spread the word about our expenses-paid environmental microbiology research experience for undergraduates this summer!
We are especially trying to reach Indigenous/Native American students and folks from marginalized communities (low income, disabled, etc.)

MVIf podcast ep
New #MVIFconversations episode is recorded and our lips are sealed on who the guest is.
What we will say: they ditched their old career for #microbiome science, and their favourite paper is a wild one. Two researchers tracked their own gut microbiomes every single day...

There is a new episode where @cpavloud.bsky.social and I talked to @merenbey.bsky.social about open source, mentoring, and believe me it's a GREAAAT one!!

The 'but I like this meme'. Top panel: 'The public' referring to Jeremy Clarkson standing between two cars. The red car on the right says: 'Antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Jeremy says: "This is brilliant" Bottom panel: Jeremy points to the silver car which is captioned: 'Antibiotic resistance' and says: "But I like this"
The language we use in science is important.
Repeatedly, the public understands 'antibiotic resistance' over 'antimicrobial resistance'
Clarity > correctness. #AMR will continue until messaging improves

What a fantastic experience meeting the ISCB SC RSG-Nigeria association! Their commitment to empowering the next generation of computational biologists in Nigeria through education, collaboration, and innovation is truly commendable.
It was as fun as it was inspiring, thank you!
Today I'll be sharing my perspective on open source in microbiome science w/focus on the data resources & community efforts.
This talk is presented under the ☂️ of three communities I'm deeply connected to @cibiocm.bsky.social @microbiomevif.bsky.social @bioconductor.bsky.social

Curious about contributing to BugSigDB?
I wrote a step-by-step beginner’s guide explaining this.
Helpful for anyone interested in microbiome research or preparing for future Outreachy contribution phases.

Dear @anthropic.com please consider extending your Claude Max subscriptions to open science software devs! Our repos may not have as many stars as those of some of our OSS peers, but we develop critical infrastructure in focused areas, and might even benefit more from what Claude Max offers!

AND shhhh, I have to share with you that @cpavloud.bsky.social @tosina.bsky.social and I recorded a new episode with a Balkan rebelling vibe about open-source in microbiome science, mentoring and yes, rebelling! I can't wait to tell you who was our guest.

Reflections on MVIF #46 (Feb. 9-11)
We brought together researchers across continents for an inspiring exploration of microbiome science. Whether joining from the Atlantic (ATL) or Pacific (PAC) regions, our community connected to advance knowledge that transcends borders.

So thrilled to share episode 2 of #MVIFconversations with you all!
Getting to sit down with @bykriscampbell.bsky.social was such a privilege! If you're curious about where microbiome science is headed and why rigorous science communication matters more than ever, this one's for you.

Great study, congrats to the team!
It would be great to hear more about it at the next #MVIF @microbiomevif.bsky.social in April!
