Really excited to announce v3.0 of our #microbiome analysis app Nephele! nephele.niaid.nih.gov
We released it in May, and this week presented it at the NIH Research Fest! We constantly update the pipelines, but this was a significant upgrade in the infrastructure and workflow. #microbiomesky

i don't have any words. but please share and amplify my friend's story.
The house on the right? Ours. Our 9 yo's close friend witnessed this kidnapping yesterday and was as distraught as you could imagine. ICE is trying to scare us; heartbreakingly, they have succeeded in scaring our kids. The rest of us are angry and determined to keep our community safe.

DC's public composting bins are working!
Every month, DC Smart Bins collect 55,000+ lbs of food waste. By investing in 20 new bins, we expect that number to increase by 63%.
So, if you haven't yet tried your neighborhood Smart Bin yet, consider this your sign.

In 1967 a human not only wrote this song, but played it alone at a piano and sang it like this. Was never really the same after I heard this solo demo version. The composition is like a summary of classical music from the 13th century to Gershwin, it's just crazy. Surf's Up
