“…a major advance that we’ve been trying to achieve for a very long time, and a great aid to scholarship. It allows human beings to focus their time on the important, profound work of understanding another human being, rather than staring at a curlicue to grasp if it’s an L or an I.”

New preprint: with increasing resistance to ceftriaxone, the last recommended antibiotic for gonorrhea, we urgently need new drugs. Two--zoliflodacin & gepotdiacin--are up for approval by the FDA in Dec. Here we show a point mutation can result in cross-resistance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Flu Overview update.
A month ago we detected flu in less than 10% of samples.
In the most recent batch over 50% had FluA (H1N1 and/or H3N2) and 75% had FluC.
Numbers were low, but flu season is starting.

What should we expect this flu season?
Here’s a forecast from a wastewater perspective (because sh*t don’t lie)

BioRender pulled off this wild trick where they convinced an entire community to acknowledge their software in every figure, slide, paper, and talk... as if it's is fundamentally different from the other software tools that we employ without constant and explicit acknowledgement.

What I like about Inkscape is that it reminds me of the old days when programs would unexpectedly crash, and thus rewards my deeply ingrained habit of saving every 15s.

Cool. Cool cool cool.
Real estate investors, both individual and institutional, bought one-third of all single-family residential properties sold in the second quarter of 2025.
That is an increase from 27% in the first quarter, and the highest percentage in the last five years, per CNBC

For folks doing academic faculty hiring —
What kind of platform does your university require you to use? Interfolio? Avature? Something else?
Are you able to batch-download the dossier PDFs, or do you pay for someone to hand-download them all?
