I was a Republican for 45 years. The fact that this mean-spirited, demented fool Trump is the nominee of the party for three straight election cycles is just unfathomable.

Strong ad. Think about it. Spread the word.
🔥🔥 This new ad from the Harris Campaign will run nationally on Fox News and in West Palm Beach (Mar-a-Lago) and Philadelphia (debate) media markets on Tuesday “The people closest to Trump in his White House have a warning for America: Trump is not fit to be president again.”

Every Senate Republican — except Collins and Murkowksi — voted against a bill to mandate insurance coverage for IVF in June.

My partner often tells me that I suck as a biologist, to which I reply, “that’s because I’m a microbiologist.” I just proved him right: honestly I had no idea that crab claws come with “teeth”! Freaked the hell out of me when I saw them on my plate. 😲

“America, I gave my best to you. I made a lot of mistakes in my career. But I gave my best to you for 50 years, I’ve been too young to be in the Senate because I wasn’t yet 30, and too old to stay as president. But I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Donald Trump wants to take our country backwards to a time before many of our fellow Americans had full freedoms and rights, but we believe in a brighter future that makes room for all Americans. We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but get ahead. We believe in a future where no child has to grow up in poverty, where every person can buy a home, start a family, and build wealth—and where every person has access to paid family leave and affordable child care. We will build a nation where everyone has affordable health care, and every senior can retire with dignity. Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.

It has been public for a while, but with #VoM2024 starting, today is as good as any to introduce our new tool phage genome annotation tool Phold. Phold uses structural homology to assign functions to phage proteins (1/n)

#vom2024 Thanks to all the organizers of the Viruses of Microbes 2024 meeting - so excited for my second visit to Australia for what promises to be an awesome conference. Plus, our fearless reader @JeremyJBarr has thoughtfully given us a survival guide. Most lovely!

That new dog toy came apart in less than 15 min. One 4-legged critter in my house is smiling ear to ear.
