My guess would be something involving gganimate, with pre-processed data converting (frame, start, end) triples into locations. r-graph-gallery.com/animation.html

I am in the market for a PhD student this year. Please don’t use LLM to write your statement of research. Yes it is obvious. I want to know who you are, not how you prompt.

I have been trying to get this code to work for the past 4 hours and I am giving up. This is now a Monday problem.

Of course this one parameter doesn't work with the conda version of this program. So now I need to install a different version of program on the HPC so that I can use this one fracking function.

Yay!!!!!

I've been writing a lot of shell script recently and having to go back into R is making my brain hurt.

I did an interview about Colossal their non-dire wolves. Do the anonymous smears on my science and credentials as a geneticist start right away? Or do I have to save up 5 interviews like a punchcard for a free sub?

once again: the civil rights movement is worth studying not just because they were right, but because they won www.liberalcurrents.com/how-to-win-a...

Today's science win: 42,000 - 44,000 high quality, unlinked SNPs with genotype likelihoods > 0.9.

Dire Pikachu (left) vs Colossal Dire Pikachu (right)

I love him.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

Are you an undergrad interested in ecology, evolution or related fields? Apply by January 20 for our Undergraduate Community at Evolution program! This program provides funding, mentoring, and a presentation opportunity at #Evol2026. www.evolutionsociety.org/content/educ...

Missed last month's premier of the Dinosaur Fish documentary, featuring lake sturgeon restoration in Saginaw Bay? Never fear, you can still watch the doc and support sturgeon restoration in many fun ways: buff.ly/YURr3L3

I currently have 0 faith in metagenomic alignments

I need to figure out why this 16S data is fine but the corresponding metagenomics data sucks.

I was <$90 off between my budgeted and spent for this contract. I feel like a god right now.

Unions for the win.

Therapy session scheduled. And by 'therapy' I mean tattoo.

Do you care about the future of the US NSF and science in general? The agency is seeking feedback on the draft Strategic Plan. www.nsf.gov/od/updates/n...

welcome to the cbs evening new

Okay. I've applied to be in the BTS ticket lottery. Wish me luck.

I need to give someone a title and abstract for my talk tomorrow and I don't even know what I'm talking about.

The two SNPs that are right beside one another on the chromosome are perfectly linked. Yay. That means at least some of these data are correct.

How am I this stressed and we are only week 1 into the semester??

Get your kid a flu shot.

Working on my 2025 faculty activity report and it is so bleak. Did I even do anything this past year?

People who are amazing: Forestry people.

Okay. This week's classes are prepped.

I have a love/hate relationship with files that have headers. My main hate occurs when using wc -l and I forget it has a header.

The deadline is fast approaching to sign up for our online Introduction to Lakes course. January 27 at 5 pm is when the boat leaves the dock! We hope you can join us, and help us spread the word.

Win for today: >350,000 SNPs with genotype likelihoods >= 0.9.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

OMG. Finally, one analysis with this dataset kind of makes sense.

Early preview of March Mammal Madness controversy this year. #MMM2026

Dear Microsoft: I will NEVER, EVER, EVER, want a file saved to Onedrive. Ever.

Dear computational people: How do you keep track of all of the runs with different parameters that you've performed? Do you just have REALLY long file names?

After Minneapolis, now the ICE shooting on Christmas Eve in Maryland is getting some scrutiny from local police: “…county police confirmed The Banner’s reporting that the second person injured in the encounter was already in ICE custody, in one of the agency’s vehicles, when he was hurt.”

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

I have coding brain and can no longer form human sentences.

Yeah, I think I'm analyzing these data wrong. None of this output makes sense.

I wish R graphs were just pretty by default. Like, why is the default text size for ggplot 0.2 pt font?

Considering I'm currently trying to learn new (to me) methods for analyzing population genomics data, I feel this in my soul.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

I don’t know if it’ll be part of what ultimately topples it, but at each tragedy a few more people realize that this regime is totally okay with killing people, whether by bullets, withholding healthcare, starvation, or any other means they create to carry out their plan.

I'm not in a mentally stable enough place to look at reviewer comments.

Meat sweats for everyone!
