Binning Singletons

Binning Singletons helps meeting attendees gain confidence and grow networks in the context of a scientific meeting. Here's how we do it:

You can get a Tee with our OG logo for $16 for a few more hours! www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/9637...

95% of CDC workers say Americans will die because of federal cuts to the agency. Virtually all staffers (99%) say reductions in staff and lack of leadership have left the agency unprepared to respond to a pandemic or other public health emergency. ow.ly/UTK550ZaH3c

people who work and invest in AI frequently ask me why their work polls so badly

(Please if you test your dog's pawedness report back with their name and photo, we want to know!)

I just returned from two back-to-back conferences. Students, I noticed that a lot of your slide decks had an oddly similar layout structure and I was able to confirm in conversations that these were AI-generated/assisted. Some thought about this for your own professional development: 🧵

Delighted to be a part of this Phage Therapy P01 network, as the CAPT program at the University of Pittsburgh led by @dariavantyne.bsky.social @ including WRAIR, Intralytics and many Pittsburgh colleagues. We are part of Project 1 “Find the Phage” which will include evolving better phages.

I’m at the Science and Society Lecture. Last chance for shirts! #ASMicrobe #MicroSky 🔬🦠🧪

Friends and supporters, please come by and say hello! I’m next to the AEM Hub at the end of Aisle 2100. #ASMicrobe #MicroSky 🔬🧪🦠

🚨🦠💻🧬🚨 My lab is hiring!! Looking for a technician or postdoc to join us in Cleveland starting this summer to lead a project analyzing ~1000 metatranscriptomes from the human oral cavity. More info on my lab website www.thelewinlab.com/join-us #ASMicrobe #Microbiome #Microsky

I’d appreciate if @asm.org brought back spaces to watch the Opening Session @ #ASMicrobe that are outside the ballroom. It can be pretty overwhelming and hard to find a seat. #MicroSky 🦠🧪🔬

It’s exciting to go to @asm.org #ASMicrobe but it can be intimidating if it’s your first time or you are alone (and even if you’re not!). We help you have a great meeting through our grassroots peer mentoring program. Join today! 🔬 🧪 🦠 #MicroSky #AMR forms.gle/4yT1CbEvE7pT...

Happy Pride! #BinningSingletons at @asm.org #ASMicrobe has always been humbled by the participation of the community with our program. We hope to see you in DC! 🧪 🦠 🔬 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 #MicroSky #AMR forms.gle/hasFqWEeH1sX...

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Would love to get to 420 shirts tonight for comedy reasons. We're at 412 right now. To fully fund the mural series we're looking at 1100. One day at a time, ya know?

Picture it. You're drinking a cold beverage with a body of water in view. You sigh happily. You couldn't be more relaxed. It's as if you were a yeti crab, secure in your food supply, relaxing in the heat. Wait. Your friend doesn't know what a yeti crab is?! We have a shirt for that. SquidFacts.net
