Happy to have this side project out reporting on aneuploidy in a Southern right whale. Check it out!

GATK 4.6.0.0 reverts back to ./. for no-calls instead of 0/0 with DP=0 github.com/broadinstitute…

#Budget2024 💰 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs! It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. 🎉💪🏽#SOSBudget2024

PSA, since I've now seen problems arising from this: As of Sept 2023, GATK no longer makes missing genotypes explicit in VCFs (i.e. "./." as in the VCF spec). Missing genotypes are instead coded as "0/0" with a DP=0 format field. See attached for examples.

Very sad news for science and Canada in in particular. One could not go through grad school in EEB in Canada and not somehow be influenced by #LouBernatchez. My condolences to those near him.

Today we lost @LouBernatchez, he was an amazing scientist, a generous and lovely person. To me, he was a mentor and a friend, I owe him much. We will deeply miss him.

@acgerstein @CSEE_SCEEmtgs @beepeg2023 I had 10 rapid tests and extra masks ready to go! I’m so sad to be missing this. Have a great time!

Walkouts for better early career researcher funding are happening across Canada!
Inflation has eaten away at the scholarships, fellowships, and grants over the last 20 years. It’s time for change @cafreeland @JustinTrudeau #SupportOurScience

Support Our Science Nationwide Walkout is TODAY! This is a protest to @cafreeland & @JustinTrudeau's #budget2023! SOS is advocating for increased federal investments in scholarships, fellowships & grants to support increased pay for grad students & postdocs #SupportOurScience 1/5

North Atlantic right whales, the subjects of Dr. Timothy Frasier’s research, are endangered globally. With $6 million in new funding, Dr. Frasier and his colleagues are determining which factors limit reproductive success. Learn more: loom.ly/4hzbhTM #WorldWithoutLimits

It was wonderful getting to meet with everyone in person @smuhalifax last week to discuss recent updates on the #RightWhale #GenomeProject. Lots of exciting research happening with this group! @GenomeAtlantic @GenomeCanada @NEAQ

@SethRudman @ksamuk @Emily_L_Behrman @RobUnckless @gutbacteria I had an ethyl alcohol permit from BC liquor commission and bought it through the liquor stores. Not sure how that works elsewhere

Dros folks - where do you buy 95% ethanol for media prep? I'm leery of the additives but I don't think I can buy everclear with grant funds. @ksamuk @Emily_L_Behrman @RobUnckless @gutbacteria
