Game over, phylogeneticists! New DNA foundation model "Carbon" reconstructs the tree of life. 🙃 huggingface.co/spaces/Huggi...

Me encanta cuando alguien contesta ”bueno, esa es tu opinión“ a una publicación. Pues claro. Es mi cuenta, obviamente esa es mi opinión. Lo que quieren decir es que no están de acuerdo, claro, todos lo entendemos, pero con la lengua tan rica que tenemos que forma más fea de decir una perogrullada.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social hello! I’m a big Swiftie and I’d be curious as to an analysis of Travis Kelce‘s style. People say he has good fashion sense but I just don’t see it at all. Am I missing something?

Also, people are sleeping on Honey. Honey is the Delicate of this album. (No, I’m not saying it’s as good as Delicate but it is the most intimate love song in this album. Even if I don’t necessarily like the whole “bitched called me honey/sweetheart just to put me down” motif).

I’ve been listening to LOAS for almost a week now (yay!), and I think I can now give my thoughts on the album. My first impression was not good. I don’t like the lead single and I also do not like Opalite. I think the writing there doesn’t work. I think TS is especially strong when she conjures ->

Well… fuck me.

Jane Goodall’s died. Her books were part of what got me into biology. Sad to lose such a powerful voice especially considering the rate of destruction of ecosystems she fought to protect.

I first learned about Huntington’s in the earlyish 2000s. My dad was reading Genome and told me about it. It’s one of the reasons I became interested in genetics. In my lifetime, we’ve gone from discovering its genetic basis to treating it with gene therapy. It’s magical. Science opens doors.

🚨 Exciting new crab preprint! A Japanese team found that sideways walking only evolved once! Maybe carcinization itself is necessary but not sufficient to go sideways? When it's lost, the species that go forward have alternate anti predation behaviors. 🧪🦑🦀 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is a really cool thread of cool pictures and cool scientists!

It's 2025, and there are still people that haven't accepted the fact that there is no path out of this mess that doesn't involve: 1) People that aren't Black... 2) Advocating for, and fighting for... 3) People that are Black. None.

Yes, I've praised some of Einstein's views, and been critical of some of his views. That's not contradictory at all. That's how it's supposed to work. I'm not saying Einstein never had a bad take. I'm saying that Einstein recognized that "Science is neutral! It doesn't have politics!"🤡 is silly.

@benaaronovitch.bsky.social have you always shared book covers with your word count?

@badlawyerpod.bsky.social I only started listening recently and getting to relive the Eras with y’all is giving me life.

Foliage dog, Crick(et).

Crick(et) found a stick this morning. The stick was Too Big. He didn’t want help carrying it. The stick did not make it home (for once).

There’s obviously been a lot of TS news lately: I’m a bit shocked that she’d announce an album and immediately after (or so it feels), announce an engagement! Still unsurprising that the most liked IG post by a woman ever is a post shared with a man, about her marrying a man…

Crick(et) Our Love is God, Keeper of the Stairs, Finder of the Sticks, Lord Barker at Open Windows.

I’ve been watching Yellowstone, and I have to say, I could just watch a show about the bunkhouse forever. The family drama? The killings? Eh, it’s fine, but I don’t care all that much. Cowboys getting drunk and doing stupid shit? Gimme more.

I got me a lapdog.

I was lucky enough to edit this article, which I’m very happy is now published. Really cool work on post-transcriptional regulation!

SNOOOOOOT

TS12 is coming up. Time to switch my bio again? Perhaps. But for now, Crick(et) content is still incoming. Here he is, napping all morning after waking me up at 6:50AM. An angel.

At the movies. About to watch a film I know nothing about (I know the name) for the first time in a very long time. The internet and social media have ruined a lot of my random “what’s showing” and going to the cinema for the sake of going to the cinema. This should be fun.

Crick(et) is pretending to be the perfect coworker, as tho he doesn’t turn into a menace that refuses more work after 3PM.

This is such a how did we get here picture. We left a chair pulled out. That’s how.

Of the last 5 train journeys I’ve made, all involving going into or coming out of London, all 5 have been delayed or disrupted in some way. It’s exhausting. It’s a good thing that I have a Crick(et) at home to make up for it.

This is so, so cool.

The sideeye!

Will we get a full Live From Paris album now?

Well, no better day to have Rep as a soundtrack.

A woman studies embryos for decades, struggles for funding and respect. She publishes under her husband’s name, until they divorce. A single mother, she moves across an ocean to continue her studies. It all sounds quite modern, until you learn that she also worried she’d be burned as a witch. 🧵 1/15

The other day I found myself thinking “Crick(et), you’re so lucky, you don’t have to do math”. Of course, Crick(et) is a dog, and can’t do math, but what’s interesting is that this isn’t the first time I’d had this thought. My first dog, Trotski, also couldn’t do math. He used to help me with my ->

What is the gay version of The Tortured Poets Department? The Slaying Lyricists Club? It sounds like a musical so it must be right.

Apparently my hatred of fans has not translated to Crick(et). Men.

Cricket came for coffee today. Lots of people is still overwhelming, so now he’s chilling inside.

Crick(et) has grown.

Crick(et) got a new dog bed, so he can curl up in it and not sit in our chairs. Of course this is how he’s using it:

Cricket was a #dogatapollingstation for the first time today. #dogsatpollingstations

Every time I listen to TTPD I get a little sad that this album won’t get its own tour.

Should my partner become a puppy photographer?

He really is a collie, huh?

Maybe he hasn’t figured out chairs if this is how he climbs them?

Crick(et) (non)-update: he’s definitely figured chairs out.

I’m currently in China for a conference (hello Suzhou!), and I miss my dog. Thankfully technology means I get regular updates on Crick(et). Including him watching his favourite show (people blowing on bottles).

Cricket and Goose.

Dog or chicken? (Yes, this is a hard launch)

But the real question is, did they leak the K9 training manuals?

Watching Twin Peaks and getting the house insulated. What a life.

@ass.golf We’re getting a smooth collie, partly because we adore Ollie, and we’ve been trying to think of a good name: This has got me wondering, is Ollie called Ollie cos he’s Ollie the collie?
