Did you check that yellow-green protein interaction in PISA? 😜

Big career announcement!! A few weeks ago I was offered an interview and site visit for a tenure-track Professor of Microbiology position at a dream location. But - I declined! Here is why ... (TLDR: enthusiastically saying "No, thank you" to academia) #MicroSky 1/8

Who knows how to do pooled SD in GraphPad Prism? I.e. if you have a e.g. 3 biological replicates with each 3 technical replicates and want to display an overall mean SEM for the data?

On my way to @roskildeuni to present our latest work on phosphonate breakdown in E. coli. Looking forward to meeting staff and students! Thanks to RenΓ© JΓΈrgensen for the invitation!

Finally online at @eLife - this has taken longer than I would have liked, but good things come to those who wait, they say. And the paper is definitely better than what we first submitted, so thanks to constructive editors and reviewers!

πŸ“’ 1.55 is now available. It includes:

β€’ Bugfixes, and
β€’ Performance improvements

That's it, that's the update.

The performance improvements should reduce startup time a bit. We think we can shave a few more seconds off in future updates as well.

Toxic workplaces are the main reason women leave academic jobs Women feel driven out by problems with workplace culture more often than by lack of work–life balance. Women feel driven out by problems with workplace culture more often than by lack of work–life...

Stop telling women to go into science if you can't make them feel welcome once they're here.

Perhaps, but it’s still super arrogant to let peer review go on for months and then ask authors to return proofs in 48h, even during weekends. Better than to tell authors that very late return of proofs may delay the publication to the next issue.

I completely agree. Proofs represent an important last check for mistakes that have been overlooked so far. 3-4 working days should be minimum.

Don’t underestimate the power of encouragement in career progression. Asking PhD students why they decided to enter grad school, many say β€œmy supervisor suggested it to me”. And more importantly, this applies to all levels of the ladder, so if you see someone who is ready for the next step, say it!

Focus in publishing and success criteria should really gradually change during an academic career:

PhD - What can I publish? (own CV)
Post doc - What can we publish? (focus on teamwork)
Junior PI - What can you publish? (lab members)
Senior PI - What can they publish (former lab members)
