I've grown increasingly upset about ASM's actions and the way this situation may have unfolded. Whose idea was this? Was there a meeting with ASM leadership and they flagged webpages to be taken down? Did they vote on this? Was this done unilaterally by a single person? #MicroSky

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

#MicrobiologyMonday: The "robustness" of enterococci is tied to biofilm formation. The ability to study the genetic underpinnings of biofilms formed by enterococci & other bacteria has grown, which improves understanding of their form & function.
