Cambridge folks - Darwin’s workers are trying to form a co-op coffee shop in one of the Darwin’s spaces that are shutting down! They need funding, you can support them here: gofundme.com/f/start-a-work…

Recently I wrote a post suggesting that peer review doesn't work, and then some weird things happened. A tenured professor threatened to get me fired. Strangers sent me unhinged emails. (People said nice things too.) This week I sort through it all. experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/the-dance-of…

@waiteforcharlie Never

One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.

Please share this widely as you're able! Flyer below with all the info.

If you or anyone you know in the greater Boston area is interested in participating, you can DM me or email me at matt *at* concertobio.com (Also feel free just to reach out with questions) I'm hopeful that this project will help millions of people living with VVC! /end

I'm so excited to see where this will take us! As part of the Concerto team, I'm leading the discovery of a new product to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis (yeast infections)! Best of all, YOU can be a part of it* (*if you're a biologically female, non-pregnant adult) 🧵👇

HAPPENING NOW: Concerto Biosciences CEO @cheri_ackerman presents how we discovered Ensemble No.2, a new microbial treatment for eczema—and why we owe it to eczema patients to make skin microbiome research comprehensive and rigorous. See you there!

@mj_borreggine @sayoyobae @kljungz individual officers have to pay for it themselves since it’s insurance to cover you in case you are accused of malfeasance that harmed the union/members. I feel it’s worth the cost (~$50 per year depending on the coverage) if you’re an officer who handles dues money directly.

@mj_borreggine @sayoyobae Lol ty yes in my castle made of paperwork 😂 @kljungz ’s response below covered it pretty well. It’s generally an “endorsement” (like a bonus feature) that gets attached to the union’s general liability insurance policy, but the union cannot pay for your coverage,

How great would it be if all 33 of these Black postdocs went on to achieve their career goals? Last night we discussed our plan for making that happen. Please support the @natblackpostdoc by RT'ing so our group can increase our visibility, grow, and further increase our impact.

Happy #October3rd to all those joining us on the picket line today to fight for a living wage for graduate workers! #ClarkOnStrike

📢 HIRING ALERT: The need for microbial ensembles is greater than ever. With 5 new open positions, we are building our CMC team to advance our first product toward in-human testing 🦠⇄👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼. Learn more about the open positions at concertobio.com.

I've never worked in a lab with so many windows. It's amazing.

@Eden_Eats As a white man named Matt who is in a relationship with a (different) white man named Matt, yes

If you don’t have at least 1 white friend named "Matt" then you are Matt.

I can’t put in to words how frustrated I was when reading about what happened at the @UAW convention today. I am even more hopeful to hear that Brandon is running to change that. As @hgsuuaw’s financial Secretary during his presidency, I say with 0 reservations- ELECT HIM

It may only be my third day, but I can already tell you @ConcertoBio is a great place to work! Apply at the links below and join the **ensemble** :)
