Recently I wrote a post suggesting that peer review doesn't work, and then some weird things happened. A tenured professor threatened to get me fired. Strangers sent me unhinged emails. (People said nice things too.) This week I sort through it all.

One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And youβre spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.
I'm so excited to see where this will take us! As part of the Concerto team, I'm leading the discovery of a new product to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis (yeast infections)! Best of all, YOU can be a part of it* (*if you're a biologically female, non-pregnant adult) π§΅π
πΊA fanfare for Concertoβs Series A! It heralds our reunion with microbes. It calls us to explore, compose, collaborate. It reverberates toward a future where microbes arenβt problems but solutions. Cheers to the era of microbial ecology-inspired products. businesswire.com/news/home/2β¦
If you or anyone you know in the greater Boston area is interested in participating, you can DM me or email me at matt *at* concertobio.com (Also feel free just to reach out with questions) I'm hopeful that this project will help millions of people living with VVC! /end
HAPPENING NOW: Concerto Biosciences CEO @cheri_ackerman presents how we discovered Ensemble No.2, a new microbial treatment for eczemaβand why we owe it to eczema patients to make skin microbiome research comprehensive and rigorous. See you there!
How great would it be if all 33 of these Black postdocs went on to achieve their career goals? Last night we discussed our plan for making that happen.
Please support the @natblackpostdoc by RT'ing so our group can increase our visibility, grow, and further increase our impact.
The Concertians have landed! πΈ Welcome to our new hamlet at The Engine @enginexyz - a dazzling space brimming with state-of-the-art equipment for lab work, fabrication, and engineering. Let's build!
I canβt put in to words how frustrated I was when reading about what happened at the @UAW convention today.
I am even more hopeful to hear that Brandon is running to change that. As @hgsuuawβs financial Secretary during his presidency, I say with 0 reservations- ELECT HIM
If we are going to transform the UAW, we'll need a strong rank-and-file movement with leadership up for the task. With Brandon Mancilla as Director of Region 9A, we will build militant democratic unions that empower workers and achieve social justice.
