I learned HMMER as an undergrad in one of my courses at UNAM (Mexico) ~20 years ago. It’s a fundamental tool in genomics… I’m in shock… What is going on in the US has unquestionably a global impact.

In the 19th century, a New Orleans doctor sent the skulls of 19 Black Americans to a doctor in Germany, where they were used as part of now discredited racial science. The remains were recently returned to the city, where they will be laid to rest on Saturday.

Diversity in the academic workforce objectively increases novelty#, impact* and technical innovation$. References for each claim in 🧵. So, some of you may be thinking "this doesn't affect me". It 💯 does if you want medical breakthroughs, or if, as a scientist, you want to do your best work. 🧪
