Richard Gibbs talk on somatic mutations - clearly there’s a Bostonian on his team #AGBT.

SomaScan vs Olink www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Speaking of embargoed #AGBT slides, this talk from *2023* at the Diplomat in Hollywood - delivered hilariously by Beth Shapiro - finally published in December elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...).

First #AGBT2025 occurrence of "don't tweet this" - but only a verbal warning that could be easily forgotten or missed if you had ducked out for a moment

As I prepare for my invited plenary talk for the AGBT Meeting tomorrow with this uninterrupted view, I am filled with proud for my students, my colleagues & our collective work in Indigenous genomics, health & digital technologies. #AGBTGM #AGBT25 Tsosie Lab (tsosielab.org)!

Bill Clinton video at #AGBT - surprised there wasn’t more laughter Human Genome Project was “best $3B of taxpayer money *I* ever spent”

Overdue for my annual #AGBT haberdashery communique This year I’m sporting this wonderful cap @biomath.bsky.social gifted me last year. There might be a few more around, but if you accidentally mistake another for me - any friend of Charlie’s is an interesting new contact! 🧬🖥️

Is George Clooney coming to #AGBT2025 ?

New @voltalabsinc press release has video featuring my rockstar colleague Aimable Hamimana www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

I’m the PI for a randomized clinical trial and here’s all the people helping me I think (I def don’t have the institutional books) are at least somewhat paid by indirects: - study monitor 👩‍💻 (keeps us safe) - investigational drug pharmacy 💊 (dispenses study drug/placebo safely and randomizes 🎲)

Roche’s Fantasy Sequencer Slowly Turning Into a Fantastic Reality #sequencing #nanopore #genomics sandiegomics.com/roches-fanta...

I am the features editor at Endpoints News. We're closely reporting on the Trump administration slashing the federal workforce and the impact on biomedical research. I want to hear your stories and tips. Signal at: @jaredwhitlock.73. I can honor requests for anonymity.

Again, the two most impactful lies of the past half-century have been “Trump is a good businessman” and “Republicans are the good-at-economy party”

Funding opportunity: Gram-negative Antibiotic Discovery Innovator. Seeking proposals focused on small molecule antibiotic discovery against Enterobacteriaceae, with Klebsiella as pathogen to initiate discovery program. Alas, predatory bacteria are outside of scope. (Didn’t even warrant a mention!)

Introducing the new DNBSEQ-VA series. Everything you never dreamed off stuffed into a usually pretty ugly looking sequencer Let’s see it unveiled at agbt!!

With #AGBT nearly upon us there are a lot of rumors around #Roche and a new sequencer to rival #illumina. Is illumina's dominance slowly eroding? Would you still buy an illumina system if funds available?

Another night-train start-up, Lunatrain, has popped up, aiming to provide express nigh-train service across the eastern/midwestern US. I’ll be interested to see how this turns out: www.ridelunatrain.com/newsroom/lun...

DHS has ordered its entire investigations division - composed of 6,000 agents - to divert focus on drug dealers, terrorists, and human traffickers and shift priority to the Trump administration’s mission of deporting immigrants www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

Looking to talk with federal employees with disabilities who were terminated this weekend, especially folks hired through Schedule A or disabled veterans. Please boost! #disability #journorequest

BREAKING — USDA says it accidentally fired officials working to combat bird flu and says it’s trying to rehire them www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog... by @allansmith.bsky.social

(1/4) Recent layoffs of federal workers has a disproportionate impact on Native Americans, but is receiving almost no media attention. In Indian Health Services, which provides healthcare to 2.8 mil NAs, 2,200 people were laid off, including 1,400 who provide direct patient care.

A sneak peek at Roche’s nanopore sequencer. Really makes me wish I was going to #AGBT this year! #genomics #nanopore #sequencing sandiegomics.com/roche-has-en...

Unreal.

People in tech talk about the idea of a “10x programmer” — someone whose work is worth that of 10 others. I get the impression Musk etc think they can apply it all over the federal workforce but like… there’s no such thing as a 10x ATC navigational aid maintenance worker. Some jobs just need people.

Trump officials are reportedly pushing Romania to let Andrew Tate and his brother leave the country, amid human trafficking and sex crime cases. www.ft.com/content/3f95...

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Due to activities of DOGE, a surge of U.S. government infrastructure began appearing on what’s known as “the search engine of Internet-connected devices”, thus making cyber-espionage easier than ever cyberintel.substack.com/p/doge-expos...

Why do I think I might be mentioned in this book? ;)
