We are excited to announce a new faculty position here in Cambridge, for researchers in computational and/or theoretical biology, based jointly in Genetics and Mathematics. Come and join us! Happy to answer questions about research, teaching and working here. www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50414/

Recommended podcast, especially for non scienty folks. On why lot of the shit in the USA is a blatant attack on science, why some scientists are afraid to stand up, and why this matters beyond the USA borders 🧪 open.spotify.com/episode/56Co...

Is anyone starting a shadow NIH, NSF. (FAA, OSHA, ...)?

We are looking for a bioinformatician with expertise in microbiome data analysis join our team at the University of Lausanne. The successful candidate will lead and support research projects within nccr-microbiomes.ch. More details here: shorturl.at/mC46o . Please share with potential candidates.

This made me think it is a good thing the EMPIAR 3D CryoEM database is not US but a European resource. I wish all the SRA archives were also there (maybe many are). All scientific resources need to be redundant so not susceptible to one country being burnt to the ground.

We urge "continued public support of – and trust in – scientific inquiry and the use of science-based data as the foundation for decisions and policies affecting" us The alternatives are horrific and harmful.

Simply, Is the idea based on humanity and compassion? Is the purpose simple to understand and communicate? Is the goal clear and broadly beneficial?

This excellent interactive tutorial on misleading data visualizations explores the idea of a "counter chart" — the graph you draw in response to refute a misleading claims flowingdata.com/projects/dis...

cool new resource here from the MOSAiC transpolar drift go.nature.com/3CJ3wex

Looks like another good one to read over time.

There is room for optimism then, that the current stressful situations will make us all better. Learning from plants again.

Darwin Day may be a good time to remember that through evolution, most of what genes and systems do in organisms is cooperate and collaborate with each other to better succeed, together. We could learn from this.

🚨Job Alert @arcadiascience.com! Are you an independent, generative, rigorous scientist that can pivot quickly? Can you apply your unique skills to a wide range of bio & tech problems? Can you work with other stellar scientists skilled in orthogonal domains? Join us! jobs.lever.co/arcadiascien...

"both visual ecology and functional interactions among traits play important roles in the evolution of ocular traits" nice work details specific case of general evolutionary principles, the interaction of contextual constraint (visual ecology) and mechanisms of function (functional interactions)

Cyanobacteria are the best

you need a model to tie empirical results to the underlying questions you’re asking

yes, epistasis

Accessible evaluation and creation of language model approaches seems possible? Interested to see what impact this has. Hopefully move from hype to careful analysis. link found indirectly via @garymarcus.bsky.social xyzlabs.substack.com/p/berkeley-r...
