Meta-Research: Systemic racial disparities in funding rates at the National Science Foundation

White principal investigators applying to the National Science Foundation are consistently funded at higher rates than most non-white PIs.

Reading this morning: #NSF funding rates for white primary investigators (PIs, leaders on research teams) vs BIPOC PIs. I've been waiting for a paper like this ever since I read the NIH funding papers. https://elifesciences.org/articles/83071

I wrote an editorial about the #AntimicrobialResistance crisis. It covers the need for a #Global #Equitable approach, #resistance in neglected #fungi & #parasites, the promise of new #antibiotics, sharing of #sequence data, idiotic policies that risk antibiotic stewardship & more

Please share it far and wide - this #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek we've not been as loud as others, or as loud as we need to

The antimicrobial resistance crisis needs action now

Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem of increasing proportions that we cannot afford to look away from. Our Editorial shines a light on the crisis and ways we can all help to address it.

Hi folks!
Here's a #introduction as I start on Mastodon.

I'm Aditya (Ah-dith-ya). I run a #synbio lab that investigates the design of microbes that solve problems in human and environmental health by creating or harnessing unnatural building blocks.

I love to craft new scientific visions, tell stories to diverse audiences, and build inspired teams that advance the boundaries of knowledge to help change the world.

#Introduction

New here and wanted to introduce myself and my group. I am an assistant professor at #UW ChemE leading a new group that specializes in #XNA sequencing, #XNA synthesis, and #XNA #SyntheticBiology (#SynBio). We develop tools, engineer bacteria, and enjoy thinking about reimagining the central dogma. Our lab toots on @xna. 🧬

New paper in @PLOSBiology led by myself and @callaghanct, and with 42 other amazing authors! We present a call to arms for more identifiers on @inaturalist to help ID this amazing cit sci dataset.

The benefits of contributing to the citizen science platform iNaturalist as an identifier

As the number of observations submitted to the citizen science platform iNaturalist continues to grow, it is increasingly important that these observations can be identified to the finest taxonomic level, maximizing their value for biodiversity research. Here, we explore the benefits of acting as an identifier on iNaturalist.

Well my twitter feed suddenly became 50% ads. How the turn tables....
