Photo of two boys - one vaccinated against smallpox, the other not - published in 1901 by Dr. Allan Warner. Smallpox killed over half a billion people in the 20th century alone. On 8 May 1980, the WHO announced its eradication, which was achieved through #vaccines, surveillance, and containment.

📢 Our lab is looking for a bioinformatics postdoc. We have lots of exciting projects to work on, including single cell (epi-)genomics, microglia xenotransplantations and nanopore long reads splicing analysis. Look out for the official advert next week and get in touch in the meantime 🧬🧠

Correctly termed ‘Facilities and Administrative costs’, we are not serving ourselves well with the casual use of ‘Indirect costs’ jargon. In discussing ‘Overhead costs’ when making the argument for their retention at realistic rates, we should focus on the F&A terminology.

Wonderful potential for model organisms in VUS resolution. Can we scale the approach?

Contact your elected officials. They need to know how NIH cuts will impact not only scientific innovation but also jobs in their districts. Remember that every NIH dollar generates about three in economic impact. You can find yours here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Reading a collaborator's draft manuscript in which he describes CpG islands being distinct from the depleted majority of the genome, which he describes as 'CpG deserts', and realising that 'CpG oasis' would be such a better description in that context. Who's with me, should rename CpG islands?

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

This play was so godawful when I saw it in NYC it actually enraged me. So lazy in its depiction of Irish people it felt deliberate in its offensiveness. Now in Dublin (bad idea) and has received the perfect put-down: Micksploitation Don’t see The Ferryman www.irishtimes.com/culture/stag...

@ygilad.bsky.social has what looks like a useful book just released: An Intuitive Primer on Effective Functional Genomics Study Design www.amazon.com/Intuitive-Pr... I just bought a copy for the lab.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Bit of a standard moan - “epigenetic association studies” are very hypothesis / model different vs GWAS (genotype association studies) even though the process v similar (put DNA on arrays, call alleles/epi-alleles, do association with covariates). completely different

Thanks to @wiringthebrain.bsky.social @shaicarmi.bsky.social and cousin Hank for this commentary. PRS is not a solution for health care. Reducing health disparities for these common diseases would have a much greater effects, while new medications like GLP-1 agonists are showing astonishing results
