Oof. You can't even log in to USCIS site with #firefox anymore. Having a chrome installation in the background is increasingly becoming necessary to get work done. It's going back to IE era all over again :(

The ASM journey took me from NY to Chicago to LA overland, trailing tornadoes, downed power lines and ending with a burning engine at the entrance to the Mojave desert, where we hitched a ride on a bus and vaulted some fences to catch the last tram out of Union station. Took some good photos though!

You have no idea how happy I was to find this at some random bodega in Queens. It's like watching civilization progress one step at a time.

A process server delivered a letter regarding my "hostile" and "defamatory" attacks on #ColossalBio co-founder Ben Lamm, insinuating I'm a misogynist and a failed scientist. Nothing I've said is defamation, but you can read it a judge for yourself. I've redacted my home address 1/n

As bone broke as I am right now, I'm sorely tempted. IMHO a great opportunity to pick up what will be a piece of scifi-cyberpunk cultural ephemera of our moment in time. Still kicking myself for giving up that Mondo2k collection from a friend of mine.

Why is it always the singularity/h+ offshoots that turn creepy/violent when things don't go their way? I've known my share of old, burnt out Mondo2k readers and Usenet ranters who used to argue with bruces or greatdismal - they're perfectly fine, maybe even great weirdos.

#ColossalBio shouldn't be blaming the less-than-glowing outcome of their weird (outdated?) PR strategy on researchers merely doing their jobs. Regardless of your personal take, this is a dangerous pattern of behavior 🧪

I tried going through LA metro (LA's tram/subway equivalent) and their brand new LAX transit hub that opened up just this month, skipping the usual Union station bus ($12 something). E to Expo/Crenshaw and transfer to K, then free 10 min shuttle to LAX. $1.75 for an hour trip. Not bad!

I've got to hand it to LA, the weather is fantastic here. Sunny like May, Autumn-cool in the evenings. I don't know why anyone would ever stay inside.

A great thing about a gigantic conference like #ASMicrobe is the diversity of represented interests - which makes it far easier to figure out what niche my current focus generally falls under. For me, when in doubt checking out an EEB poster or session worked out perfectly.

More people should stop by EEB-SUNDAY-1139 - Mining the ATCC Genome Portal: Genomic Insights into Unsequenced Taxa and Rare Historical Strains in the American Type Culture Collection, and talk to Scott. Treasure trove of microbial info there, forgotten human records and cells alike #asmicrobe 🦠🧫

One tip that'll be useful at conferences (incl. #Evol2025): when a group of people are talking, make a "C", not a circle -- leave a little gap so others walking by can feel like they can join in. Small, inclusive gesture, and lets you meet cool new colleagues.

I am giving two presentations here at #ASMicrobe. Saturday, 2:45PM, to talk about "shock and awe" experiments that will really resonate with students. Sunday, 10:35AM, #MattersMicrobial Episode 99 with Dianne Newman to chat about Albert Kluyver and microbial history! Hope to see you there!
