And away we go -- apple review number two: THE SWEETIE

Competencies for bioinformatics core facility scientists: extension of the ISCB competency framework for bioinformatics. #Bioinformatics #CoreFacility #BioinformaticsCompetencies @bioinfoadv.bsky.social academic.oup.com/bioinformati...

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

Can’t wait to introduce bird-based storage into my backup system

Daniel Huson - sketch, capture, and layout phylogenies using phylosketch2 github.com/husonlab/phy... #ISMBECCB2025 #biovis seems handy!

scooby - multimodal (rna/atac) profiles from dna at sc resolution. builds on borzoi. @lauradmartens.bsky.social #ISMBECCB2025 #regsys

original ad for human genome volunteers! #ISMBECCB2025 #HITSEQ @tobiasmar.bsky.social

"We"? The problem is, *we* aren't building these systems. A very small number of very wealthy companies, controlled by a nearly-as-small group of even more wealthy men, are building these systems. And none of the incentives align with "helping people draw their own, more accurate conclusions".

I posted the rest of my notes from #bioinfocore on our beautiful vintage wiki for posterity: bioinfo-core.org/index.php?ti... #bioinfocore #ISMBECCB2025

Patricial Carvajal Lopez presented about the competency framework for bioinformatics core facility scientists (and I helped!) I'll post when it's published, we're getting close : D #bioinfocore #ISMBECCB2025

Carlos Prieto presented so many cool interactive tools for data visualization in 5 minutes: github.com/BioinfoUSAL #bioinfocore #ISMBECCB2025

@hubertr.bsky.social‬ presented during #bioinfocore about GEO uploader, trying to simplify the upload process for researchers (I kinda hate doing this, so I'll be looking at it) github.com/fgcz/geo-upl... #ISMBECCB2025

@natbytes.bsky.social‬ presented during #bioinfocore about a clever method for optimizing clustering during single cell analysis: github.com/gladstone-in... #ISMBECCB2025

Thomas Roder presented during #bioinfocore about the Assembly Curator - the goal was to get 80% of the quality of trycycler in 5% of the time: github.com/MrTomRod/ass... #ISMBECCB2025

@kubranarci.bsky.social‬ presented during #bioinfocore about development of the nf-core variantbenchmarking pipeline, developed for GHGA and shared with the world: nf-co.re/variantbench... #ISMBECCB2025 (comparing variant callers can be pretty messy!)

#bioinfocore had an entertaining & interesting keynote from @damiandn.bsky.social yesterday sharing history from the computational imaging field which has gone before us into AI first territory. #ISMBECCB2025 sorry for the lighting, we didn't figure that out until later...

at connect circles I learned that inference can be where something like 65% of the carbon footprint comes from for large genAI models. arxiv.org/html/2503.10... I also mentioned this book if anyone wants to know the impacts of other stuff. #ISMBECCB2025

RP: CRAWDAD R package to identify cell types and their proximity in spatial data. www.nature.com/articles/s41... github.com/JEFworks-Lab... #ISMBECCB2025

EH: identifying time varying GRNs from time series scRNAseq data. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40662830/ github.com/euxhenh/Marl... #ISMBECCB2025

Nicola Bordin: novel domain arrangements but no novel folds in the metagenome billion-scale protein universe. Nicely reported at the #ismbeccb2025

Just as Chris launched into the topic of knowledge censorship, the AI transcription and the slides stopped working. Coincidence?? 🤔 #BOSC2025

Chris outlining the different AI coding agents that can be used for ontology development. Working on documenting best practices for this ai4curation.GitHub.io/aidocs #BOSC2025 #ISMBECCB2025

someone's notebook is in seat 6, room 01A, row AA. #ISMBECCB2025

better than my modified spreadsheet

#bioinfo4women #ISMBECCB2025 women in bioinformatics slack invite link (for 30 days) in case anyone wants to join: join.slack.com/t/women-in-b...

I reformatted the #ISMBECCB2025 schedule a bit - in case anyone else wants to use it this way - ordered by day and start time: csv: drive.google.com/file/d/1JyhT... xlsx: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

What is the key idea of #AlphaFold? There isn't one. #ismbeccb2025

learning important stuff in my nextflow tutorial #ISMBECCB2025

You, a simpleton: Yummy in my tummy! Me, an intellectual: Yummach in my stomach.

Recently, there have been several stick-ups and one Axe murder (in the first Degree). Management has made no Secret of the need to increase security, but still haven’t found the Right Guard. Finding themselves underarmed, the crime wave continues to roll on.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Seems like a bad idea : www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce...

reply below the post says "we are in a police state" and this is absolutely true. don't be an idiot and qualify this ("a police state if you're _____"). no. you live in a police state if you're in the US. read about police states and listen to radicals on the subject

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

I would just like to go on record as saying: the fuck

Kseniia Petrova walked out of the Boston federal courthouse this afternoon on pre-trial release. My writeup for @cambridgeday.com www.cambridgeday.com/2025/06/12/p...

I urge others to similarly support our patriots at NIH who use their training and talents to improve human health and position the US as the world’s leader in biomedical discovery, innovation and technology development 🙏

Yes, “disaster” is the correct word – this is a public health catastrophe. The pressure for him to resign should begin tonight, and continue until it happens. Nothing else should be in front of this. Go to a 19th century cemetery anywhere in this country to know why.

Me (crying): Please...I just need to message my coworkers Microsoft Teams Developers: No you don't. You want a Bunch of Bullshit that also changes week-to-week for some reason

The otter keeper gave this baby otter a sock to keep warm, she later turned it into a onsie with holes for the hands, feet and tail!
