Weihnachten ist kein politikfreier Raum. Zwischen Gänsebraten und Plätzchen kann es vorkommen, dass am Tannenbaum rechtsextreme Sprüche fallen. Wie du Haltung zeigst, klar Grenzen setzt und wann Diskussionen sinnvoll sind, ohne dich aufzureiben. www.belltower.news/argumentatio...

I'm so impressed by this-- what a fun way to teach SQL! I had a good time playing through it just now:

Do you (like me) create a bunch of conda environments, then later forget what they're for, when they were last updated, or which tools are in them? If so, you might this little project: github.com/rrwick/conda...

Having a color-blind colleague is a good reminder that we need to be more careful when designing figures for scientific publication 🧪 My lab has found this page especially useful for selecting color palettes, used in combination with different symbols: thenode.biologists.com/data-visuali...

No conference blogging today, tried to follow along online but the only thing that really was productive today was my cough 😷

And last year’s dicloxacillin sleuthing getting a follow-up at #ESCMIDGlobal this year: Astrid Rasmussen from SSI on investigating the spread of the resistance plasmids

#ESCMIDGlobal impressions day 2: lots of results for Nanopore 16S in clinical diagnostics
