Non-science related. My baby is in the Baby of the Year competition. This is the first round to make it to the top 20. Will you vote for him??? babyoftheyear.org/2026/uche-cf...

Is Uche Okala the Baby of the Year?

One baby will appear in a national ad campaign with The Honest Company, win $25,000, and be celebrated in Variety Magazine.

Another question #MicroSky! When presenting growth curves, do we use OD600 or A600. We are technically measuring the Absorbance so….. Let me know what you think. My lab is still new enough to implement the change before we start publishing.

Hey #MicroSky! I’m at Phages and like any great conference, cool science ideas come up. Does anyone have a lead on how I can get the E. coli Keio collection pre-mixed for a screen?? Send me a DM 🙏🏾

Since we have had a big boom to bsky let me reintroduce myself. I am Aisha Burton and a new PI at Cornell Micro. Currently on maternity leave but my two research techs are keeping the research going 🙏🏾. My lab is interested in studying small proteins and how they impact stress responses in bacteria

Burton lab in big black letters. DNA helix connects B of Burton and L of Lab. Between the two words there is smaller text that reads Large Roles Small proteins.

Here's a starter pack of Black Microbiologists. A work in progress as people are migrating over from other platforms. Let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/EcYiqNV

I posted this a few days ago on this site, but it was before the great Twitter Exodus of 2024. Lousy timing, I suppose... 😁 Here it is again, for all the #microsky folks who may have missed it. It's a pretty nifty story, >8 years in the making!

We're having a bit of a tough quarter over at Skype a Scientist. I'm writing grants nonstop over here but won't know if it's working for a couple months. The collapse of social media has made our business model of many small donors beak. In the meantime, your support is VERY appreciated.

As it’s #BlackinMicro Week let me reintroduce myself: Hi!! 👋🏾 I am Aisha and a 5th year post doc at the NIH and will be transitioning to Assistant Research Professor of Microbiology at Cornell starting Jan. 1st. My research looks at how small proteins help regulate bacterial stress responses.

Excited to be back organizing a new chapter of Queer Science at GaTech! Loved my team at UMN and have been missing them since moving. LGBTQ+ connections in the greater Atlanta area appreciated for help advertising <3 queerscience.lgbtqia.gatech.edu Art @dazedatmosphere.bsky.social

artwork with queer scientists working on a bunch of projects. they are a diverse group with pronoun badges and rainbow colored hair. The posted says Queer Science and asks for High school students! join queer scientists for demos and experiments at GaTech!

I think it would be cool (once I establish my lab ofc) to have a Burton lab meet up with other Burton labs.

It’s a federal holiday and the bacteria don’t care. 🥴🙂🙃

What is the first grant a new PI should apply to? DP2, MIRA, R1, Private funding, all of the above? Any thoughts?
