Can you run sequential slurm arrays with one job submission? E.g., make bam files for all inds, then make individual VCFs when bam step is complete. I currently do this with separate job submissions, but would like to combine into one job submission. Thanks! #bioinformatics

Loved that Walkman 💞

Phylogenetics methods announcement: piqtree is out! It exposes selected IQ-TREE2 capabilities within Python, using the cogent3 library as the interface, better enabling pipelines. piqtree is an addition to, not a replacement of, IQ-TREE2. Full announcement at github.com/iqtree/piqtr...

If you hate statistics like I do, then you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, 20 lectures from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. 🧪 #stats www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Trump says he's wants to privatize USPS because it's "unprofitable". Reminder that the Post Office isn't a for-profit enterprise: it's a public service that guarantees everyone in America reliable, affordable, and universal mail service.

Gahhhhhhh!!! ☺️🥳🤩 This is an exciting start to the week 😎

People: don’t you just get a job when you’re a doctor…? You can just be a professor, right? Me: 👇🏼

We have a postdoc position available in the lab on post-copulatory barriers in hybridizing crickets. We have genomic data ready to be analyzed and crickets ready for experiments. This is a great collaborative group and a study system with a lot of potential for new projects. Join us!

After lots of delay - we just updated the MIT living wage in our stipend database and we are back to only two points above the line! See more: rhettrautsaw.app/shiny/Biolog... #PhDStipend #Biology @reptilerhett.bsky.social

How much more can he take from us

Tapping the wisdom of the SkyMind. I’ve previously developed educational programs in genomics and bioinformatics at the graduate level, as well as undergrad data science program, and now building a broad PhD program in biomed/biological/bioengineering data science. #science #evolution #genomics 1/1

This is an amazing resource for students, teachers, and researchers alike! Thanks for all your hard work creating and maintaining this, Graham 😎😊🤩 #popgen

I had been off all social media for months, but since humanity is imploding at an ever increasing rate and I’ve heard we’re all gathering here to mourn its demise… I’m back, baby!✌🏼

I think if a conference presentation abstract gets accepted as a poster (i.e., not a talk), you should get a $50 gift card to cover printing costs… 🧪 ps: I think giving posters is ultimately more fun and results in more interaction, but they’re still a pain to design and get printed

Eclipse [yada yada] totality [blah blah] 🤩

Does this place care about real trucks? Or was that only in the other place, the “cyber truck” place…?

Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) Just seven of these were introduced to a backyard in LA in 1994 - now there hundreds of thousands spreading across the city. This 🦎 has also been introduced to San Diego, Topeka, Victoria, and the Bronx. If you see one of these in North America, let me know!

What in the fresh hell?! Seen on Reddit, with the headline: “Explore Passion and Stars in The Adventures of Rosalind Franklin: A 3D Sci-Fi Adult Visual Novel” 🧪📓🤷🏻‍♂️

Amazing scenery above the clouds on my flight from Hilo to Honolulu over the weekend 🤩📸🌅

As previously stated, you can’t stop worm!

Another Elsevier paper with obvious AI-written text. “In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I'm very sorry, but I don't have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model. “

People: how does ADHD really impact your life…? Me:

So I play rugby with people who are mostly in their 20s, and I’m in my 30s. Today I came out of the match early and one guy was like “are you okay? What did you injure?!” And another guy was like “Luke’s just old. He’s fine, just old” 👴🏼💀😂 I have become the old man on the team. Life is complete.

OMG! My figure making game is going to be through the roof! 🧪

I’m thinking I’ll start a petition to get Brian to bring lemon glaze cookies to the next SSB standalone meeting. Like this post if you agree!

These two songs just came on back to back on shuffle. If you get the significance of that, let’s be friends. If not, go watch Nacho Libre.

Probably the best practical advice I’ve seen on here 🤣

How does this not get at least one like…? 🥺

Relocated this crazy creature from our deck just now! Must’ve been stunned or something, because they gladly accepted my offer for a ride to the neighbor’s yard 😅

🧪Buying a UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer for The Lab. We do lots of fieldwork in remote, hot, dry places. A *portable* unit that can take the heat and has a good battery life is ideal. Is Ocean Optics/Insight still the way to go? Anyone have a unit they recommend? TY #colsci #fieldwork 🦎🏝

Come explore the frontier of PCM with us! Mariana P. Braga (www.marianapbraga.com ) and I host the symposium “What we can and cannot know through current and upcoming  Phylogenetic Comparative Methods” at the joint @Evol_mtg in Montréal and want your views in that discussion! #Evol2024 🧵1/8

Them: What kind of person do you want to be when you grow up? Me:

Is there a flag in the populations module of STACKS to include invariant sites in VCF? Trying to input file for pixy 🤓 (I know I could do this w/ e.g., GATK. But I have a STACKS-based pipeline for this ddRAD dataset, so I’d rather just tweak that) @jcatchen.bsky.social @ksamuk.bsky.social

This is so sad. The collections housed here are not just national treasures for Colombia, but invaluable treasures for the scientific community, and the world. I really hope that they can somehow get the money they need to save them.

I pretty much never get sick. Like once every 18 months, tops. And even then, I can usually just sleep it off. But I’ve now been sick 2X in the last 10 days. Guess it’s time for my quinquennial check-up 😅

🧪 Funding opportunities for students doing animal behavior research ! 🦎 🙈 🐦

Amazing to see ‘ōpe‘ape‘a (Hawaiian hoary bat) in Waimea Canyon on Kaua‘i Island. A lifer for me! 🦇 Note: We were basically in a cloud. This pic does not have any color filters applied. So cool.

Trump has no immunity from Jan. 6 prosecution, Toby Keith has died, and Bluesky is open! What a day!

Let’s hope this nice place doesn’t sour too quickly 🤞🏼🦋🤞🏼

“CANT STOP WORM”

Just getting around to reading this (so far great) manuscript. And I’ve got a favor to ask you all: can we pleeaaaaseee please pronounce this species concept (RRCC) as “R2C2” - like the droid…? Pretty please 🙏🏼

Academia work-life balance tip: Turn off the option to get job status update emails from the compute cluster

I feel like I stopped getting new invite codes on here…? Anyone else? I don’t need any, but been at “5 available” for a while now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey, botanists, what’s going on here…? Two plants? One plant going half-half? What?

Just logged onto eBird, and I’ve gotta say: that’s a damn good lookin duck! 🪶

It me.

Nothin like the first full-contact rugby practice of the season to remind me of my age 👴🏼😂
