"...water, soil, and animal food products [are] environmental transmission pathways for exchange of ARB and ARGs between animals and humans, although directionality of transmission is poorly understood" from @JennaSwarthout @SeqH2O et al. in @EnvSciTech: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

The Fuhrmeister lab (fuhrmeisterlab.com/) will be opening @UWDEOHS in June 2022 and is recruiting students! We will study the link between health, pathogens, AMR, and the environment. Just 2 weeks left to apply to our grad program-deohs.washington.edu/how-app…

what is this @NatureComms? "mentors benefit more when working with male protégés" "current diversity policies promoting female–female mentorships, as well-intended as they may be, could hinder the careers of women" I mean... Really???
this paper is misguided at best and willfully harmful at worst. nothing has been better for my career than my women mentors. nothing. it is why I continue to actively seek them out, and why I continue to be involved in women’s mentorship organizations like @HGWISE

Liquor store and trash cans were most contaminated in our logitudinal surface sampling study of SARS-CoV-2 RNA but risk of infection was low. Check it out! #COVID19
Can you get COVID-19 from touching the grocery store door handle? Probably not - we estimate the risk at <5 in 10,000. But SARS-CoV-2 RNA on high-touch public surfaces may be a leading indicator of community case trends. New pre-print out! #1440funded medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
