The 2019 summer sesshin of Boundless Way Zen just wrapped up yesterday. I had the honor to serve as Jiki (time keeper). The water must know If it is hot

This was my first time at the Lake Arrowhead Microbial Genomics meeting, and it was excellent! There were tons of great talks, friendly people and a beautiful location. Plus the food was fantastic, and the beer and wine were free (Jeffery Miller was insistant that this was important).

Earlier this week, I got an e-mail from Lucia Santamaria from the “ Gender Gap in Science” project from the International Council for Science. They are trying to systematically measure the gender gap in a number of ways, including looking at publication records.

Yeah, so my last post was clearly a bit too optomistic. I’ve only just now set up this new website using the Hugo static site generator and Academic theme which is pretty nifty.

Well, it’s been far too long since I wrote anything here. In the mean time I’ve: completed the HMX biochemistry course Got two papers accepted ( eLife paper on HGT is out, PLoS Comp Bio paper needs some final touches) started a postdoc in the Huttenhower lab and… that seems like enough Also finally updated the header image on this site to be one of mine rather than the default.

I recently had reason to go and dig through some of my old blog posts at ScienceBlogs - in particular, this one on diversity and this other one on academic freedom vs bigotry.
