I won't be at the conference this year but phage phriends & immunology enthusiasts, please check out @AllisonHedin 's poster on Tuesday at @Evergreen_Phage ! 👩🔬 Also give her a follow as she's new to Twitter/X!

I'm so old I wrote that!
That's assuming it's the Windows version, which is the one I worked on. The Win9x game, art, and original code, were done by Maxis/Cinematronics. I ported it to Windows NT, converted the x86 asm to C, made it work on RISC, and so on.
Success has many fathers, and all credit should really go to the original designers... I'm just the fun uncle that brought it to the masses.

So many wonderful connections being made at the #ASMicrobe Women's Reception, LGBTQIA+ Reception and ASM Minority Mixer!

The CHOMA exhibit at #ASMicrobe showcases a selection of items with connections to some of the most important figures in microbiology's history—from Alice Evans, ASM's first woman president, to Joshua Lederberg. If you're on site, be sure to swing by & take a look for yourself!

ASM staff is on site and hard at work with final preparations for #ASMicrobe! We can’t wait to see you there—and we're happy announce that the curfew has been lifted!

Pseudomonas partners with Pf phage to build biofilms and promote antibiotic tolerance. Here, we explore how. Congrats to Kevin Chen, @cai_pam @PRSecor, @heilshornlab @ASpakowitz @ebburgenerMD and a terrific team science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Very excited to announce that I'll be opening the Laboratory of Virus-Host Dialogue (viralogue.com/) as an Assistant Professor at @CUAnschutz this fall!

If you've sequenced a dsDNA phage genome and want to determine if it belongs to a known genus or species, this is probably the quickest and easiest way to do it
Provides ANI similarity used by ICTV to classify phages. Then extracts the Genus and or species information from the ICTV VMR . Provides output if phage is a current species, new species, or is representative of a new genera

Oh, what a night! A true celebration of science & scientists! Thank you for attending & supporting our SOY Celebration. We hope you enjoyed the program & came away feeling enthused & inspired by the scientific research that was on full display by our #ARCSScholars & our SOY.
