#ASMicrobe

First person to find me at #ASMicrobe that references this tweet gets a free “microbiologist have culture” @ASMicrobiology tee shirt. Everyone else, visit the ASM booth to buy things as proceeds support the Future Leaders Mentoring Fellowship Program.

Going to be giving a talk about social media and microbiology in just a few days at #ASMicrobe. Since not everyone is on Twitter: Hi! This is what a tweet sharing a picture of an agar plate growing Kocuria spp. looks like

Excited to present my work at #ASMicrobe this afternoon as a last-minute talk replacement! Come to 352DEF at 2:45-3PM to learn about how antibiotics affect colonization and transmission in the gut microbiome.

Unfortunately influenza rates closesly predict antibiotic use - which is why vaccination helps to support antibiotic stewardship #ASMicrobe -Dr R Laxminarayan

Wow! Just learned we’re about to release a 5S/16S/23S rRNA removal kit for bacterial #RNAseq. Wish I had this 3y ago! Saves 1.5h+ & drops >95% rRNAs from sample. Interested? Chat w/Brian Dugan #ASMicrobe @QIAGEN Booth 1033 #microbiome #metagenomics #metatranscriptomics #genomics

Final speaker at the #ASMicrobe Opening Session: Dr. Emily Balskus discusses how her lab is uncovering the mechanistic links between gut bacteria and colorectal cancer.

If you are interested in having your microbes sequenced for free, simply have them accessioned at ATCC. Chat me up for details. We're doing @illumina/@nanopore hybrid WGS for the entire @officialATCC collection. Check our progress: #ASMicrobe #genomcis

Hey #ASMicrobe - interested in authenticated reference genomes for microbiology, virology or mycology? The ATCC Genome Portal is a growing db of 3,300+ genomes from @officialATCC. Stop by MBP11-655 or DM me to learn more! 🎉🧬🦠 #genomics #Bioinformatics

EXCELLENT, it's time to nerd out on the history of microbiology. 🤓 This document is not comprehensive, but it gives a nice, readable overview of some of the 'milestones' that got us to where we are today in human microbiota research. #ASMicrobe

“When I look at the world, I see microbes everywhere" said @PatSchloss, ASM's 2021 Microbiome Data Prize winner. This is the lens through which he approaches his life and his research. We are excited to learn about his work this morning at #ASMicrobe!

Congratulations to the newly elected fellows of the American Academy of Microbiology #ASMicrobe

I made a flow chart to help everyone out there decide in which @ASMicrobiology journal they should publish their work #ASMicrobe

ASM's Young Ambassadors respond to the needs of their local scientific communities, build relationships with key institutions and facilitate partnerships. It was great to see 60 YAs from across the world together at #ASMicrobe! Learn more:

Time to open the fabric poster I ordered for #ASMicrobe and make sure the 5’x3’ sizing came out alright and… … flawless. No notes. #IDTwitter

Paper accepted! 🍾 Great way to end #ASMicrobe :)

Thank you Johnny Chang for perfectly capturing what I imagine hot spring thermophiles do in their free time 😅 #ASMicrobe #ASMicrobe2022

A slide is worth a thousand words. At #ASMicrobe, @rrwick shared a fantastic presentation 'In Pursuit of Perfection, bacterial genome assembly from 2016 to today', including this recent Klebsiella isolate genome assembly of 99.99995% identity (Q63.0) using @nanopore data alone

Welcome to #ASMicrobe. Registration opens at 6:30 am!

Update on the mini micro poster: Stop by, answer the survey question (“How long does your institution hold surgical cultures?”) check out the data and sign in! #asmicrobe

The ASM Microbe 2020 Program Committee converged in Chicago this weekend to begin planning your #ASMicrobe 2020 program! Thank you to all who submitted session, course, or workshop proposal ideas – there's a great meeting in store for next year!
