Do you know the name Dorothy Hansine Andersen? She was the first researcher and physician to discover cystic fibrosis and its autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. As a pathologist, she recognised distinctive organ damage in the pancreases and lungs of deceased children with celiac disease. /1

With #FindMe2care we connect patients with rare genetic diagnoses to research, clinical trials, and patient organizations. Excited to present our platform at #ESGCT2025! Curious? Let's chat during breaks or meet me at the poster session tomorrow, P1111. www.findme2care.de/en/english/

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️ I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊 #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

Adding to the gazillion other #moon images for today’s lunar eclipse: despite the initial clouds, I finally got a view of the moon and enjoyed a lovely evening watching the sky! pixelfed.de/p/basepair/8... #eclipse #lunareclipse

Really excited to see what people will share from #eshg2025 today. I’m already seeing really interesting bits from the ESHG-Feed. If you want to read all posts in one “unified timeline”, I recommend checking this out 👇

📢 Follow ESHG on Bluesky! @eshg.bsky.social‬! We’ve prepared a starter package to help you join easily. 🔗 go.bsky.app/RsMKmCE Let’s build the ESHG community together!

📣 PSA: if you want to follow along what's going on during this year's @eshg.bsky.social conference in one feed, follow this feed that collects all posts using #eshg2025 or #eshg25! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Does anyone know of good custom feed generators for Bluesky that don’t require coding or setting up your own server?

Getting ready for #eshg2025 …and our postdoc @lydiasagath.bsky.social made a nice BINGO card again. Paying a lot of attention to the entire event will pay off!

Since I cannot attend #ESHG2025 this year, I hope to see many interesting posts following the hashtag! I already found familiar names to follow from the human genetics community finally populating the platform!

I wrote about the data-to-ink ratio and a new game I've invented called "ink golf" for data visualization. I hope you enjoy: www.frank.computer/blog/2025/04...

On June 13, we will have a workshop on Using LLMs by @hadley.nz More info: bit.ly/4jmEAJW Please share! #RStats #EconSky #AcademicSky

Looking at the major threats birds face today. Remember seeing a plot dealing w/"overflow" ike this, but can't remember where. Anyways, here's day 17 of the #30daychartchallenge 99% #rstats #ggplot2 📊 Perhaps not ideal for making friends with cat people 😄 peder.quarto.pub/blog/posts/a...

Because the Titanic is 3,800m (12,500ft, or 20,833 fathoms) deep, so it's a LOT harder to get at!

Really looking forward to the upcoming workshop! Together we’ll be discovering some exciting space ahead in datavisualization *mysterious teaser* There’s still time to register! #DataViz #Rstats #ggplot2

📊 Day 3 – Circular | #30DayChartChallenge A bit more on the art side today, visualizing Act I dialogues of Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo, and Juliet as spirals. I’ve never created text spirals before, so this was a fun little challenge and a great learning opportunity. #Rstats #D3js #Figma

Day 1 of the #30DayChartChallenge! 📊 Today's theme: Fractions 🍕 I’ve visualized the Top 5 most successful pizzas in Spain, showing their popularity as a fraction of the whole. Who’s hungry? 😋 #DataViz #Charts #PizzaLovers You can see it in : playground.graphane.dev/editor/gtksx...

❗️Our next workshop will be on April 10th, 6 pm CEST on Effective data viz in R in scientific contexts by @christiangebhard.com! Register or sponsor a student by donating to support Ukraine! Details: bit.ly/3wBeY4S Please share! #AcademicSky #EconSky #RStats #dataviz

Hey young geneticists at #gfh2025, great to see so many of you here in Innsbruck.

Now on to the opening session @ #gfh2025, starting with local music! Anyone else attending #gfh2025 and wanting to meet, e.g. at the booth of @juhumgen.bsky.social ?

So, tell us, what's your approach to #variantinterpretation? We're always keen to learn about your favourite tools and websites and, of course, the lesser-known out there. Here's a start: //TB

I’m really happy to see our project FindMe2care flourish and grow. Come visit us at our booth if you’re interested in patient empowerment in genetic and rare diseases. Also, tomorrow I’ll present figures and experiences from the first year of patient-determined registration in the platform #gfh2025

Let’s go Innsbruck! Looking forward to the 35th annual meeting of the GfH, starting today #gfh2025 #humangenetics

behold the CONNECTED SPLATTERPIE kneel before my works, ye mighty, and despair

14 days left ⏳ until the #30DayChartChallenge kicks off. Are you really prepared? 😁📊📈📉 Here are the prompts for the 1st category: Comparisons More info on Github: github.com/30DayChartCh... Let us know if you have any further questions! #dataviz

Gearing up for #30DayChartChallenge but will do it my pace, my special interest! Bring it on, @ansgarw.bsky.social @drxeo.eu @cedricscherer.com ! All dataviz makers, join us! 📊

In the coming days, I will tweak the starter pack to make sure it includes dataviz people who post often on Bluesky. Initially, I had put some big names regardless of posting frequency, but the whole point is to create a vibrant community. go.bsky.app/R3nSyyy

The majority of people who responded to a poll in Nature say they’re now using Bluesky. They’re using it to connect with other scientists, keep up to date with other research or researchers, and promote their own research. 🧪

🚨I have 2 #rstats / #quartopub / #jupyter projects best shared trough “show and tell”. 1. R within Obsidian (michelnivard.github.io/Ridian/) and 2. Resolve, “google docs” like text editor for ipynb/qmd files (resolve.pub). If you have an active R/python user group, I would be happy to drop by/zoom!

Thankful for pointers: A few years back, a database was published containing full texts of medical literature (not only open access!), but split to sentences/tokens. there was a public API that you could query e.g. for keywords. Anyone recall the name? #science #academicchatter #openaccess

Welcome. I just added you to the Medical Journals starter pack. go.bsky.app/A9fKca2 I suggest always add #MedSky hashtag. Also, links direct to papers.

Let's talk numbers: To date, since Oct 25th, we have found 395,000 Bluesky posts that link to a research paper or other research object that has a scholarly identifier like a DOI, PubMed ID, URN etc This is enormously high for a platform that has only been open since Feb to general sign-ups.
