Attention Graduate Students: We are pleased to announce an exciting new program at Washington Univ called AIMS (Accelerated Independence in Microbial Sciences). The concept is similar to the Whitehead Fellows Program where talented, recent PhDs or MDs do an independent postdoc.

Please consider a post-doc position in my lab! We have lots of fun. More information here: wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

Twitter is up in arms about the supposed "gain of function" SARS-CoV-2 research performed at Boston University. This is a total misread. The experiment was designed to examine why omicron is LESS pathogenic than the original (WT) Wuhan virus. The WT virus kills 100% of mice. 1/

Boston and New York subways are different. Weird eye contact on a New York subway means you should be nervous. Weird eye contact on a Boston subway means they go to MIT.

Do you have experience with phage and/or metagenomics? Know someone who does? Backed by a 2-yr NFRF Exploration grant, my team and our collaborators are looking for a postdoc to join us in the hunt for Legionella phages.

Pls RT: Postdoc applicants: Come join us in the @AlanRHauser1 Lab (Northwestern U, Chicago) as we ask the question, “How does Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause severe infections?” See labs.feinberg.northwestern.edu/hauser/job-ope… to apply.

Why did @russellevance decide today was the day to paint the lab?

@DrWalkerMsBanta Kim - if you fine who sells them, please let me know. We need some new ones too!

Ok, Twitter. What is this thing called? We need a new one and can’t think of search terms that pull it up. We boil samples with 1.5 ml in 2 ml microfuge tubes. Alternative ideas welcome!

@legionella Ok

Please consider being my boss in Toronto. We are a diverse group of microbiologists, structural biologists, systems biologists, computational biologists, cell biologists, and even some biochemists. And this was the view from the lab this morning (taken by my non-twittering RA).

We must be careful not to believe things simply because we want them to be true. No one can fool you as easily as you can fool yourself.

It's not the lack of intelligence, it's the lack of focus that is stopping you. 🧠

Don't be impressed by money, followers, degrees, and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility, and generosity.
