Hey y’all. As many of you know I’ve had a tough few months. I’m just now getting a *little* bit of bandwidth to work on #BinningSingletons and I need some help to get to #ASMicrobe this year. #MicroSky 🦠🧪
If you or your students used #Binningsingletons at any ASM microbe meeting in the last, I dunno, 6 or so years, you have co-founder @tallcuppajoe.bsky.social to thank for that. His wife died on Christmas & his friends are raising funds for his kid's education. They are so close to their goal!
I have personally been helped by Joe and he has done amazing work for the microbiology community, especially #BinningSingletons at #ASMicrobe. If you're able, please support!
Such a fun shirt, with official CA colors - get your own! #BinningSingletons #ASMicrobe
Wow, @tallcuppajoe.bsky.social, spot on design for the shirt this year 🎯 totally not biased, of course 🤭 #asmmicrobe #binningsingletons
Happy Pride! #BinningSingletons @ @asm.org #ASMicrobe has always been humbled by the participation of the community with our program. We hope to continue this and see you in LA! binningsingletons.com/singleton/bi...
While planning your itinerary for @asm.org #ASMicrobe, be sure to check out their curated itineraries! www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20974
Support #BinningSingletons participants by attending their sessions, too! Follow our calendar to stay updated! binningsingletons.com/events/ 🧪
Open secret - You don’t HAVE to be a 1st-timer or solo attendee. If you’d like help finding community, you’re a Singleton!

Imposter Syndrome can make large meetings difficult.
#BinningSingletons can help you find community and have a great meeting!
Join us @ #ASMicrobe next month!

It’s the home stretch before #ASMicrobe!
You’re preparing for your poster or talk, but are you ready for the challenges of a huge meeting?
It can be overwhelming! We started #BinningSingletons to help you overcome the challenges and have a great conference!

Your Imposter Syndrome can really kick in at a large meeting like #ASMicrobe
#BinningSingletons is small but scrappy and can help you have a great experience!

Big meetings like #ASMicrobe can present unexpected challenges when you are by yourself or attending for the first time. #BinningSingletons can help you overcome them and have a great meeting! 🧪

My least favorite thing about #BinningSingletons is raising funds. But we have fewer resources than usual this year so we can use all the help we can get.
And if you're attending #ASMicrobe alone, for the first time, or could just use a little help finding your people, join #BinningSingletons! Through mentoring and community building, we do our best to help you have a great meeting and keep returning for years!

Speaking of social media (15/n) the official hashtag for @ASMicrobiology Microbe is #ASMicrobe, not these common variants: #ASMMicrobe #Microbe24 #ASMicrobe2024
You’ll get much more engagement with the official one
