I study how bacteria kill plants. Interested across biological scales: molecular 🧬, cellular🦠, organismal 🧫, ecological 🥀🌍, and evolutionary 🧬.

Optimistic pessimist: The world is dark, so how can we slow the decline?
They're claiming the radioactive phage completely blocked the pathogen...

I realize that these timelines are absurd and wanting to take on one of these important positions under the present circumstances is problematic, but NIH needs qualified applicants to apply.

Please consider applying, even if you are not sure you would accept the position if offered.

3/3

Biosynthetic is more specific -- anabolism.

Metabolism could also include catabolism in addition to anabolism.

Yours seem to be clearing. I wonder if it's autolysis, maybe due to a prophage activating?

Did I make my lab look silly when I have encouraged us to use paralog even when the genes in question were on clear mobile genetic elements and phylogenetic patterns strongly indicated HGT?

Only way that works out well for a Ohio State is if they hire based on teaching competency.

The outputs in AI research are... As crazy as you would expect... It's a lot of plug and chug to minimum product
