This should be our Dunblane moment. Only with social media not guns. @elonmusk is a feckless billionaire whose algorithms pose an imminent threat to life. He won’t act. So it’s critical that we now do. https://t.co/o0fPgFTMzp

Algorithms that send the most outrageous comments viral and a chain reaction of anger and disinformation made the riots that followed the Southport killings inevitable

A Russia-linked site helped foment the riots in the UK this weekend by falsely naming the Southport knife killer as a Muslim immigrant, when in fact he was born in Britain to Christian parents

Channel3 Now falsely named the Southport murderer, sending conspiracy theorists and the far-Right into a tailspin. How did this happen?

Trump: I didn’t cut Social Security, remember? (Fact check: Trump introduced a budget to cut Social Security and Medicare every single year he was in office. The reason it didn’t happen was because Democrats stopped him)

People who have been hectoring Dems for being hysterical about Trump's 'threat to democracy' sure look pretty smart right about now. Surely he won't keep doubling down on this. Surely.
Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

The final version of our paper on PfRH5-targeting antibodies from people naturally infected with malaria is now out in Cell. Pioneered by @Lewreate7, @andrewcooperajr and Josh Tan, who identified these antibodies. It was a pleasure for @brendanfarrell and I to contribute.

The most dangerous grift in ophthalmology right now is “glasses are harmful.” People that claim diet, exercise, and a 10 part instructional webinar can help you live spectacle free! No. Stop it. It’s not a big deal for most adults. They will lose some money before realizing

Very proud to see this paper now out in @EvolLetters ! "The evolution of reduced facilitation in a four-species bacterial community" https://t.co/bXMOpsZmO8 Congratulations again to all co-authors! Check out the thread from the pre-print for details...

Abstract. Microbial evolution is typically studied in monocultures or in communities of competing species. But microbes do not always compete and how posit
Almost a decade after proposing this experiment in a grant application, we have a preprint! A huge experiment by @PhilippePiccar1 with many helping hands to generate and analyze the data especially genomic & transcriptomic analysis by Eric Ulrich!

My layman's two cents re Kamala's pitch to America: It's desperately important that her campaign understands that undecided voters don't believe the fascism talk. Those voters have a decade of evidence about Trump's inclinations. If they don't believe it by now, they won't. 1/

Very happy to present our latest preprint @NCCRMicrobiomes @DMF_UNIL in collaboration with @simon_vanvliet. @PignonEstelle engineered uptake and leakage rates in communities of E. coli amino acid auxotrophs and studied the effects on spatial arrangement and composition.

🌱 does anyone who had successfully applied for an ERC StG has an OLD proposal to share? Even if in a completely different research field? Would be super helpful and I’d be super grateful ☺️🌸 #ERC #StartingGrant

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.
