Postdocs: we want to start a NYC "Postdoc Night Science" forum where fellows meet monthly for a drink and fun practicing the creative process together with chalk talks and brainstorming. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1V4_
 @KelseyRMonson is helping and we need more volunteers!

Sharing the protocol we're using in the lab to rapidly & easily assemble combinatorial sets of microbial communities script to adapt the protocol to different situations. Hope it's useful to others. @the100footpole @jdiazc9 @magdalenasrr @andrea_arrabal_ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/
