I wonder what could possibly happen when the illumina marketing guy and the illumina social media guy meet up for dinner in San Diego?

I’ve come to the conclusions that Americans.. Californians? really struggle with my accent. Have to slow right down and annunciate.

Anybody within a reasonable drive of Providence happen to have an Illumina MiniSeq crate or the shipping rails for a NextSeq?

My favourite sound in the world is that of Mitchell Starc scattering batters stumps. #cricket #TestCricket #ASMR

Fluffy white bread toast with butter is my weakness in winter.

More good news… read about the benefits and workflow of illumina 5 base methylation library prep solution. More information out of single sample! www.illumina.com/science/geno...

Illumina Single Cell Prep Product Management team heard the calls. PDF manual available now! www.linkedin.com/posts/rea-da...

@ukbiobank.bsky.social just dropped their article on whole genome analysis of 490K human samples. Illumina sequencing and DRAGEN to help power the analysis of all those samples www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧬 Sequencing smiles! David, Andrew, and Fredy celebrate a smooth run on the NextSeq 500 with the Glasgow team.

Trying black coffee for early morning meetings today. Wish me luck! ☕️ #coffee #genomics #workfromhome

New toys out here in the Kelly lab! #ednacollab. Miseq i100. Cheaper runs, higuer output, and no instrument fluidics! So no risk of carryover and no maintenamce washes. Are the 2x500 cycle kits that are coming up going to live up to the hype? We shall see #eDNA #metabarcoding

My #Hottest100 Australian songs ever. Yes I am old, but this is a banger of a list.

The software updates on NovaSeq X Series really do improve performance, quality and output. It's all documented in the #illumina blog- sapac.illumina.com/science/geno...

Genetics breakthrough you can’t ignore— On July 16, join Illumina's Digital CoLab to see how Constellation, a novel flow cell whole-genome assay, delivers: ✅Greater insights than traditional sequencing ✅A refined sequencing approach Register: bit.ly/44Dd5pu #ASHG

Bi-annual conference time in Japan. Wonder what has changed in #science #singlecell #cellbiology #spatial #genomics.

Out of ~75 universities I have visited. There’s no place like home! #UNSW and @ramacgenomics.bsky.social still gives me the best vibes! #Science #alumni #BABS

Heading to Japan next week and giving a lunchtime seminar at the 15th International Workshop on Advanced Genomics covering the latest from Illumina. First conference of the year!

Probably can't say too much more about this other than post a press release from Illumina. www.illumina.com/company/news...

So satisfying 🤤 #MiSeqi100 @ramacgenomics.bsky.social

Great work out of the #illumina Artificial Intelligence Labs pubklised in @science.org today. PromotorAI to help call variants in non-coding promoter regions of genes. #DRAGEN #GeneRegulation #VariantCalling #WES #WGS

There was a time when #ozsinglecell25 conference social media activity was like drinking from a fire hose. Guess it’s back to “you should have been there”

Thankfully… my wife has just borrowed this monstrosity! I can’t think of a thing to cook in an #AirFryer

#Illumina “Dusted off a project that was probably 6 years old” Constellation technology brought older projects back into the limelight. youtu.be/eYNuur2eh5I?...

Still a sucker for useful conference swag… #BioRad and #illumina reusable shopping bags to the rescue for fruit and veg!

Lots of cool new things with DRAGEN v4.4. How do they keep improving this tool??? Blows my mind. My favourite things are: 1- Oncology- Heme, Tumor/Normal and MRD WGS applications with push of a button. 1/n developer.illumina.com/news-updates...

So bummed.. was all locked in for @ozsinglecell.bsky.social conference, but my forced holiday means I can’t go!! 😭😭😭

Today… I made the best coffee I’ve ever made. I think I’ve been heating the milk too much previously with the steam wand. More testing required. #Coffee #MilkFrothing #GardeningLeave

It blows my mind that I have to worry about and educate my children on drink spiking. Horrendous people out there.

Every day is Saturday at the moment. Coffee with my wife, then lunch at the local Pho restaurant! It’s a great start to the weekend

My 15 year old Panasonic blu-ray and HDD recorder broke down today. Damn fine product!

The “heart stopper” burger. Smashed it and the heart is still ticking.

I really recommend this! It’s amazing to see the manufacturing floors and how the sausages (reagents) are made!

I have turned into one of those people… I bought Mother’s Day gifts on Amazon.

For the first time in my career… I’m on gardening leave.

This had me seeing red today from @genomicscow.bsky.social. If I use my friend @genomics-guy.bsky.social as an example.. I'd say the optics of Gary on the publications, were always seen as favourable from both industry and academia.

The signs are good for a top day ahead

The 15 minute dinner. Stock, Creamed corn, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, egg, corn flour, chicken and shallots on top. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

If you ever get the chance to holiday in New Zealand, I 💯 recommend. So many unusual things to see and do. The thermal pools/lakes/mud/geyser are amazing.

Users are loving the benefits of a software upgrade to the NovaSeq X Series. Better output and quality means opportunities open up. Admera Health told #illumina what it meant to them. bit.ly/3XMcYoY #WGS

Got to see under the skin of the MiSeq i100. Amazing technology lies within. Also checked out the Illumina Protein Prep setup while it was running.

Grand tour of the inside of MiSeq i100 instruments from R&D engineers at #illumina. The future is bright with these smarter than smart people.

Work travel seems to be a feast or famine. First trip of the quarter, on the last day. Leg injury holding up so far.

Pretty sure I just did what I have told my 17yo to avoid. It’s a tomorrow problem.

The Nokia 3210 is still a thing!!!

For the first time in 13 years, I have to buy a mobile/cell phone. Any tips on what's good and not good?

So good, so easy.

Starting to see quite a few of these popping up in Australia now. Welcome to the club @ramacgenomics.bsky.social #MiSeqi100

Some famous faces in this little video. My favourite was Stephen Kingsmore " We sent Illumina our toughest samples and they got 16 of 16 right!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5lL... Can you spot the "old CEO"? #genomics #AGBT2025 #multiomics

It’s been one of those days!
