Is the WHO priority pathogen list right? I doesn't include the most common bacterial causes of gastroenteritis or gastric cancer! ineosoxford.ox.ac.uk/news/ioi-scien…

"Thus, the static and cidal concepts are unrelated to inhibiting growth vs killing bacteria. Indeed, every single “static” antibiotic on the market today kills bacteria—there are no antibiotics that inhibit growth but do not kill". #IDXposts

"However,the concept of static/cidal antibiotics is neither complex nor context-dependent;it is rather a myth. Regrettably,this dogma continues to be raised in modern literature despite two fundamental flaws" Honored to contribute to this important letter led by 🌟 @BradSpellberg

We implore authors, peer reviewers, and journal editors to stop perpetuating the concept of static and cidal antibiotics, given the aforementioned evidence demonstrating it is a myth. #IDXposts journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/aa…

Friendly reminder that many scientists need 5-6 hrs of uninterrupted lab time to get their experiments done. Something to think about before scheduling that mid-day event. Attending a lunch time seminar means either losing the experiment day or staying till 7-8 pm.

New paper! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35952602/ Spot the Campy culture/qPCR positive chicken flocks with predominant variant, vs those that are culture/qPCR negative. We are still able to detect diverse variants at low quantities in these samples using parallel sequencing....

We use a lot of our own flow cells. So we have custom vending machines to store and dispense on demand.

🚨I wrote about BA.5—the latest coronavirus variant to rise to dominance—and why it matters. This is an attempt to clearly lay out what we know about it, and to cut through the morass of misinformation that has already accumulated around it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

I've been using Mendeley Desktop daily for years, & have an annotated library of thousands of pdfs. Today, I switched to Zotero. Here's a 🧵of tips on how to do this, if you're also tired of Elsevier's BS and want to make the switch w/minimal effort while maintaining workflow.
