I love it when a small tweak can make a huge impact - hopefully this holds true! "Linux kernel tweak could cut data center power usage by up to 30%" www.networkworld.com/article/3811...

Pesticides affect different #bee tissues in very different ways. This: β†’ explains why neonic exposure affects such a broad diversity of bodily functions. β†’ we cannot take the impacts of pesticide exposure one situation (or tissue) as a proxy for others. Great work by Alicja & Federico

Excited to share our latest research on #bumblebee #transcriptomics 🐝 🧬 We show that #neonicotinoid effects vary across tissues, highlighting their complex and harmful impacts on #pollinators doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... @flopezos.bsky.social @yannickwurm.bsky.social

We're delighted to host North-western Europe's premier meeting on ants, bees, wasps and termites on December 16th at QMUL. 🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜🐝🐜 Registration closes on the 8th: bit.ly/2024-iussi-q... Supported by QM's Centre for Biodiversity & Sustainability: bit.ly/QMUL-Biodive...

Will we ever stop celebrating #databases? Not likely! They offer high-quality #datasets to scientists worldwide. Perfect example: Reefgenomics(.Org)πŸͺΈ Published in 2016, this #BLASTfromthePast is still being updated with #coral #genomes today! We're proud to be a part! LinksπŸ‘‡ #reef #marinescience

You’ve heard of blue-blooded, but that pales (literally) in comparison to white-blooded icefishes 🐟, the only #vertebrates without #hemoglobin! 🩸 Shin et al., (with help from #SequenceServer!) reveal that #gene loss may be to blame. Congrats to the authors! πŸŽ‰ LinkπŸ‘‡ #genomics

The push to decentralize the Internet is gaining a lot of momentum since musk acquired Twitter and it looks like this 2nd trump presidency will do the same. I wish we didn't wait for these things.

Great GPT prompt: "Based on what you already know about me, draw a picture of what you think my life currently looks like" (it definitely got some things right!... and others very wrong!)

I wish I'd known about these a while back!

Whether you’re new to genome #annotation or a seasoned pro, SequenceServer cloud’s DNA visualizer simplifies the process to just copy, paste, click! 🧬Analyze BLAST hits, #plasmids & whole #genome features with informative visualizations! Check out our blog for more info (link πŸ‘‡) Happy BLASTing!

Happy 1700000000-second Day Unix! (I.e., it was that many seconds since 1970-01-01-00:00:00 on November 14 2023 22:13:20 GMT)

We had a camera trap running for a week last summer in Tuscany... lots of fun to see what roams at night. Now to settle a debate with his classmates, my (just barely turned) 7 year old wants to set up camera traps in our house at x-mas to figure out if Santa is real.What strategy should I take?

R is stupid (or perhaps it's simply me) it considers `_` to be a letter between `A` and `z`

We just wrapped up two lovely weeks guiding our new MSc students on a journey from using the command line and the cluster to read-cleaning, assembling/annotating genomes, and performing GWAS. It's super gratifying to see the new students gain new powers. But holy crap it was really exhausting too!!

`git reflog` is incredible... "you only learn about it when you really fuck up :)" Basically it keeps track of all git commits you've ever done locally. Even if they're disconnected from the repo, outside of any branch, and are otherwise lost due to rebasing
