I’m furious about this. I’ve published in ASM journals for 20 years, been a reviewer, editorial board member, senior editor, and served on the MICROBE program committee. In the past 10 years ASM has taken inclusivity seriously and has actively recruited diverse members and leadership… 1/2

Hi, #AcademiaSky! I'm a #newPI gearing up to teach a mid-level #CellBio course in spring 25. I'm implementing a final project where students work in small groups to make a poster on an emerging model organism in cell bio. Please suggest potential taxa! Bonus points if you include a paper! (1/N)

Around this time, some people start putting up seasonal decorations. I do that too, except I also change my RStudio theme to "Yule", and I swear that adds to the seasonal splendor: www.garrickadenbuie.com/project/rsth...
