old lab, new name

opening BS again since I guess February, wonder how many are still using it

The DAVID server for functional gene annotation at NIH is down

would it fair to say that Genetics deals with the software and Genomics with the hardware?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Yet again, logging in to submit a proposal is a fucking ordeal. One agency is particularly bad and we all know what it is

Happy to see our work on the assembly and genome analysis of the southern pine beetle (SPB) Dendroctonus frontalis out in RS Open Science! So why SPB, and what did we learn? (and bonus surprise at the end..) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.... 1/

A lovely commentary on @lucalivraghi.bsky.social and @hwkmthcrspr.bsky.social's recent papers, by VanKuren and Kronforst (bsky-less?). "“Being wrong” has never been a bad thing in science because good scientists cannot let go of those little things that just do not line up" - 🔥🔥🔥

This thanksgiving I have learned that pumpkin tiramisu is fun to make, has a lot of spices and tastes like absolute garbage

Do you want to go further with your proteomics? Looking for something new in cancer? Check out microproteins! Thanks to @science.org for featuring this work, in collaboration with @sebastiaanvheesch.bsky.social, #HUPO, @gencodegenes.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti... 🔎 microprotein 🧬 💻

What a freaking year

Very cool review in @science.org co-led by Kirk Winemiller from our ECCB dept! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This made me lol

We are hiring a lecturer in Biochemistry. This is an attractive position which is permanent and I would love to see another chromosome or evolutionary biologist join us! Drop me a message if you have questions :) t.co/4XhvY7k0Qy

The real secret to the "Mediterranean diet" is eating equal qualities of pasta and antipasto so that they annihilate one another

Next level tattoo, but you can get one only if you win the Nobel first

who knew it would be easier to get everyone to switch social media platforms than getting them to use hg38

I have yet to see a post here starting with “10 things to know about…” and it feels great

Waves of new BlueSky arrivals in last few days! I’ve been tracking starter packs relevant to molecular/mechanistic/genetic/cellular…etc biology Hope it’s helpful but warning: now a v long thread! Probably the last time I can do this...

My twitter account has been closed and locked since November 2022, but I had left the posts up until now. I just deleted the entire thing in 15 minutes, thanks to a great script from Luca Hammer: github.com/lucahammer/t... Thanks to @amyhoy.bsky.social and @thomasfuchs.at for steering me there.
