I often wish the default iPad on screen keyboard had arrow keys to navigate in text…

2024 saw another record for bioRxiv postings. Thanks to all the CSHL staff, affiliates, authors, funders, and everyone who advocates for the project. Happy New Year and #letsmakethisthenorm ! 🧪

I have a colleague (not on social media) who likes to say that works don't *fall* into the public domain, they *ascend* into the public domain. I really love that.

This ad seemed so hard to believe back in 1999… "all rooms have every movie ever made in any language anytime, day or night."

A great job for someone, for certain. But I am re-posting this because this photo of the Geisel (of Dr. Seuss fame) Library at UC San Diego is a reminder of the twinned seriousness and surreality of my undergraduate education there--and the (re)imagining and (re)visioning it made possible for me.

Great! @UCSD Biomedical Informatics is recruiting new tenure-track faculty! Assistant Professor  https://buff.ly/49LX6rf ; Associate or Full Professor
