With this influx of people, I wanna encourage people to spend their time cool and funny things instead of descending into language wars

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator. 🧪🌎

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

I finally got around to making another pride themed bioinformatics illustration. Happy pride! #bioinformatics #pride

Excited to announce our first interactive article on sandbox.bio, about genomic ranges: sandbox.bio/concepts/gen... Move & resize the ranges to see how that affects bedtools operations like merge and intersect in real time!

🚨 Big milestone for Rdatasets 🚨 The web archive now hosts 3400+ free and documented CSV datasets. Fantastic for teaching and testing! And {Rdatasets} is a new #RStats 📦 for easy download and search Web archive: vincentarelbundock.github.io/Rdatasets R 📦: vincentarelbundock.github.io/Rdatasetspkg

Hey fellow trans pals, I know the news is super terrifying. But "death before detransition" doesn't have to mean *your* death. It's not fair that we have to go through this. But we can stick around to make these bastards' lives hell, to make a better world for future kiddos. PS I love you ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Amazing. The authors found a gene deletion responsible for orange color in domestic cats. But that was not enough -- they then proceeded to create the best graphical abstract ever (not joking) www.cell.com/current-biol...

Hi all, I am trying to post more on this account. My goal is to make some biology and bioinformatics based tutorials and content, stay tuned. I am working on graphics rn, here is a little sneak peek #dna #biology #bioinformatics #pride
