Microbe-loving bioinformatics and genomics professor aiming to better control infectious diseases, and support health, in a sustainable way. Also a Mum.
Great to see the inspiring Margaret Dayhoff getting profiled: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
I also smiled at her (appropriately) being google's response to the question asked by people "who is the father of bioinformatics" 😊

Interesting. No alarm bells, but still Erin Gill @makemydna.bsky.social checked this saltation using her SMDP app eringill.shinyapps.io/covid_mutati... finding it most fits the mutation distribution of a chronic infection. Chronic infections are still a source of novelty (cc @sarperotto.bsky.social)

Check out this soap made by my fantastic #SFU colleague @minisciencegirl.bsky.social. She said she was not happy with her streak plating, 😂 but I think it’s awesome. #microsky #IDsky #microbiology #sciart

I discovered this outhouse I walk by in the day on a trail near SFU has a motion-activated floodlight at night - even though the outhouse is always LOCKED at DUSK. Why??!

I'd pay $6.02 for that. Gotta love a Google AI response I got when asking what 6.02 x 10^23 would be in dollars:

Best functional characterization this week: An Adorable mutation! 😊

Indeed! Its fun to try older vs more recent date ranges for people to see how it changes. Here's mine over the last decade vs since the start of my publishing career. Yours over the last 5 years looks good!

This is fun. Thanks @morinryan.bsky.social for making this wee Shiny app to make a word cloud from a researchers PubMed abstracts. Not surprised by the words that show up for my cloud, with the one microbe sneaking in there being Pseudomonas 😁
