Twitter for Science- Roundup #4

Here is my compilation of useful/interesting twitter threads that I collected during the week

What does asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic mean in the context of COVID-19?

What I would like everyone to take away from this whole asymptomatic/pre-symptomatic debate:

- There is evidence that people can transmit to others before they develop symptoms (pre-symptomatic period).

- This means that people without current symptoms can be infectious. 1/8

Stuff to unlearn in microscopy and genomics

If we had a class on things to "unlearn" in microscopy, I'd include:

- Resolution ≠ precision for SMLM
- Confocal is not always better than widefield
- Higher magnification doesn't always mean better data
- You don't always need super-resolution

What else would you include?

PhD and Post Doc positions

We have an open PhD position on the genomics of plant toxin resistance. Come work with us and discover the mechanisms underlying the success of biological control agents. P.S. We welcome and cherish diversity in all its forms. https://t.co/LdPUMFQnLQ

Very elated to announce that I'll be starting my lab @PerkinsComms & @CurtinUni in Jan 2021. The Sharma lab will employ single cell genomics to study tumor evolution & ecosystem. I'm looking forward to working with motivated graduate students & post-docs. Plz RT & spread the word pic.twitter.com/70sgoWhNWM
