The Microbiota Vault educates scientists and promotes the creation of Local Collections for preservation and research. These local collections can request that the Microbiota Vault preserve a safe backup of their specimens, maintaining all rights over their deposits; they have the option to request sequencing for open access under the license of their choice, and the MV will publish on its webpage a database of the deposited specimens, including metadata, links to sequences, and contact information about depositors. Those in the global community interested in doing research can then contact the depositor from the Local Working Collection. For the use of data derived from the Microbiota Vault, explicit acknowledgments to the specific Local Working Collection and to the Microbiota Vault will be required.

Our beautiful Microbiota Vault framework figure, designed together with Joel Colombo and used in our Nature Communications perspective paper (doi.org/10.1038/s414...), made it Infographic of the week in the Nature Briefing Microbiology newsletter (www.nature.com/briefing/mic...)!

This is an interview I did with @ardenthistorian.bsky.social about the alleged MN assassin Vance Boelter, the impact of spiritual warfare language in politics, and Christian radicalization in Europe and around the world.

Horrortrip nach New York: Schweizerin wird an der US-Grenze trotz gültigem Visum inhaftiert und deportiert Eine 38-jährige Schweizer Staatsbürgerin wollte ihren Geburtstag in New York feiern – stattdessen wurden ihre E-Mails und Social-Media-Accounts durchsucht und sie 24 Stunden lang inhaftiert.

This is horrifying. "Detained" is an understatement here.

+1 for Switzerland! The Feast of the Ascension is off too.

Your daughter is Mr. Milchick?!
(Great guy but what a jumpscare.)

I watched the same thing happen in Andor Season 2.

Trump’s top spiritual advisor visits Miami megachurch. She shares a prophecy ‘Remember, glory only came when there was extravagant giving.’

Pay attn to this story: Paula White-Cain (primary Trump spiritual adviser) was preaching at a Florida charismatic megachurch about Christians taking "dominion" over society.

Nothing secretive or conspiratorial here. It's open Christian supremacy.

16 arrests at heated ‘Fascist Family Values’ protest in Seattle A crowd waving transgender flags and signs denouncing the "Trump Fascist Regime" gathered in counterprotest of a "Mayday USA" event. It quickly turned violent.

Today's video comes from a "Mayday" event also organized by Donnelly along with a cluster of rising West Coast NAR leaders in Ahn's network: Folake Kellogg, Ross Johnston (poster of the video), & Matt Shea.

Here's the news write-up of the event/protest.
