Today we released the 100th episode of the microbinfie podcast, a podcast about microbial genomics. On this double episode we make some fun predictions about what we might see over the next 100 episodes.
My favourite take is that we predict that there will something akin to a doping scandal in sports, but it's actually using fecal microbiome transplants.

We celebrate having 100 episodes! We look back at the history of our podcast and then talk about what the future might hold. Then: Lee gets his revenge by having Andrew and Nabil pronounce words loc
Do you know a #bioinformatics student looking to do an internship this summer?
The application period for our summer internships is now open at @[email protected]
We are looking for motivated students pursuing undergraduate and/or graduate degrees, preferably in the fields of computer science, data science, and bioinformatics. Interns might be required to be on-site, so preference will be given to students based at or near #Montreal

In the early days, they found #microbes with high tolerance for #fire and high heat. Later, fast-growing organisms with a lot of #spores—able to take advantage of space with little #microbial competition—seemed to dominate. Toward the end of the year, #organisms able to consume #charcoal and other post-fire debris high in #nitrogen tended to dominate.
