Loved this NYT article abt @couchmicroscopy.bsky.social and @burnsajohn.bsky.social discovering new Paulinella species (in Journal of Phycology!). Cool science, good reporting, & reminded me of past fun hotel labs ❤️🤓🦠🌊 What was your best nontraditional lab? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/s...

Biological Databases are critical infrastructure - not projects. As so much effort is put into harnessing AI to solve all our problems, we are allowing the foundational data resources crumble. Treat biological databases as infrastructure, not projects www.nature.com/articles/d41...
