Our goal is to facilitate networking among scientists, at meetings, conferences, and beyond. Binning Singletons is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
We aren’t really here anymore and this is why. We don’t abide people who behave like this, so why would we hang out here?

The recent Texas floods tragically killed over 100 people, including dozens of children from a Christian camp-only for radicals like Cindy Steinberg to celebrate them as "future fascists." To deal with such vile anti-white hate? Adolf Hitler, no question. He'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time.

We rely on our sponsors to keep our program going, ESPECIALLY this year. We have fewer available resources than usual this year. Your organization’s support will help us serve the next generation of microbiologists at #ASMicrobebinningsingletons.com/sponso…
We’re going to print our shirts soon and we love recognizing our sponsors on the back. Time is running short so reach out today! binningsingletons.com/sponso…
Such an amazing scheme - I was terrified about coming to this conference alone, but I’ve made some amazing friends through @BSingletons and am having the best time! #BinningSingletons#ASMicrobe

The last couple years I've convened sessions at ASM Microbe on fulfilling careers outside the tenure track. I'm interested in doing one featuring people WITHOUT PhDs. Is anyone interested? Time is short, I know.
I have my first grad student defense as an advisor next week, so thinking a lot about lab traditions to start for preparation and celebration of these events. Any ideas or suggestions from my tweeps?
