Wrap up of Twitter chat on the human microbiome with a high school bio teacher

It started with this

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js And eventually we worked out a date, which was yesterday. Now I note I had no idea who these people are/were. But it seemed like a good chance to do some some outreach. So I said yes. And yesterday it happened. OK it was chaotic. But it was fun. Here is a Storify of the Tweets.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis
