I’m so excited. Our secret (not so secret) observational experiment is about to begin.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for wastewater surveillance.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed.

As always, we end our Bachelor's practical class with an agar art contest using the bright colis from @atinygreencell.bsky.social. As always, lots of beautiful images were created. Meet the winner, the Coli Cougar, our next year's class lab book cover.
Nine more Erdos problems resolved with LLMs + Lean: arxiv.org/pdf/2605.227...
Worth noting they got 9/353 after trying a giant set of open problems by Erdos, and 44/492 OEIS open conjectures. Likely would've gotten 0 a year ago.

Excited to have Alex Crits Christoph @acritschristoph.bsky.social join the lab today as a staff scientist!
I had a hunch it was good time to find an experienced computational microbiologist to join the lab, but still feel very lucky to have him joining us. Looking forward to cool science!
