SecureBio Detection has a lot to share since our last update: several new preprints on our wastewater work, scaled up our nasal swab collection dramatically, we're moving into a larger lab space, and we've rebranded from the "Nucleic Acid Observatory" to "SecureBio Detection" More details: securebio.org/blog/updates-m…

Happy to report that we submitted a new manuscript this week. The manuscript is abour our work untargeting wastewater sequencing as a technique for monitoring viral pathogens from wastewater. @lennijusten 1/ medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Are you involved in oral microbiome research? 🧬 We’re conducting a brief survey to understand how researchers report metadata for their oral microbiome studies. You must be 18 or older. To be eligible, you must have conducted research on the oral microbiome (past or currently).

@SolidEvidence Cactus virus X? Or one of the other potexviruses?

Guess what we're looking for.

We have an epic line-up for the SoCal Microbiome Symposium at CalTech on Sept 19th, Sarah Allard, Ariane Briegel, Nandita Garud, Sarakis Mazmanian, Joel Sachs, Julia Schartzman, Emily Stein and David Underhill. Thanks to hosts Margaret McFall Ngai and Ned Ruby!

I’m thrilled to announce the update of our water surveillance dashboard. Many improvements, and our first substantial move into ‘OneHealth’. Read to the end to find the Easter Egg. 1/ dholab.github.io/public_viz/001…

This is so cool. I’m pleased to share version 1.0 of our new dashboard for displaying data from our wastewater metagenomic project. This is a collaborative projected between MU, U. Wisc @dho, and SecureBio; funded by Inkfish and Open Philanthropy. 1/ lungfish-science.github.io/wastewater-das…

@MikeTisza @BCMFromtheLabs Congrats and good luck!

I'm opening the doors to my very own microbial genomics research lab at @BCMFromtheLabs in Houston, TX. I'm looking for talented biologists to join me on this journey through sequence space. Featuring: - Wastewater and human virome - Phages, all of them - Microbial epigenomes

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

Officially published in npj Metabolic Health and Disease! We ran metabolomics and salivary biomeasures + metals on saliva from >700 children and their caregivers as part of the Family Life Project. nature.com/articles/s4432…. @KatrineWhiteson @UCIBioSci @UCRCNAS @uci_iisbr

First day on the job as a new Assistant Professor! @UCRiverside

Happy to announce: This August, I'll be joining @UCRiverside as an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Dept. of Microbiology & Plant Pathology! Excited for teaching and to study pedagogy and microbial ecology!

Join us for the 10th (!) SoCal Microbiome Symposium on Friday Sept 20, 2024! @MicrobiomeUcr @AmiBhattMD @PJorth @JasonArothman @ZBioticsCompany @justinrmeyer @smruthi_karthik @sydneyglassman @Matt_E_Griffin microbiome.uci.edu/event/10th-ann…
