The train line between Ferrara and Ravenna is out. Trains from Bologna to Ferrara should be fine. #smbe2023

Excited to be part of this collaboration. We present chromosome-scale genome assembly of an asexual, allopolyploid root-knot nematode (M. javanica) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @mrmrwinter @davelunt @alisoncoomer06

@DarrenMarkEvans This is also the same number of times in last 12 months I’ve been told by someone you’re doing a good job at Newcastle, though how they expected me to stop you was unclear

Last few days left to apply for this funded PhD position in primate genomics… deadline is very close - this Thurs (23rd February)! Please RT. #phd

Funded PhD position available in my group looking at primate genome evolution (bioinformatic project). Link to the ad here: jobs.ac.uk/job/CXD986/phd… Deadline is quite close - 23rd Feb! Any questions - please get in touch… Please RT! #PhD

We're looking for a new colleague to join us as a Lecturer in Biology, someone whose research and teaching is microbiological/ cellular/ molecular/ genomic. It's a permanent post, deadline next week, RTs welcome jobs.hull.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?i…

Mandatory GDPR training today says don’t post about pets on social media as it helps hackers guess my password! Also told to use >8 characters so I’d have had to change the cat’s name anyway #badtraining

Spent most of today extolling use of workflows in #bioinformatics & trying to not allow people to decide this is Mac vs PC and you pick a side! Best practice doesn’t care what software you use

Superb #northernbug8 meeting today with lots of great discussions about bioinformatics. I learned a lot

18 month lectureship in Biology, University of Hull, UK. Although it’s a short initial contract, it’s a great place to work, come join us. Apply by 20 Jan. jobs.hull.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?i…

I definitely need to learn more about #chatGPT. This list of coding uses was interesting. typefully.com/svpino/11-ways…

So it seems you can still have Mastodon addresses in your Birdsite Bio - Musk quote theguardian.com/technology/202…

@darwintreelife do you have a presence on Mastodon? Can’t find you, and it would be great to have you as part of Mastodon Science on the open web - try genomic dot social

@ieknot Debirdify will show you where your people have gone, though you can interact with anyone on any server debirdify.pruvisto.org or movetodon.org

@davelunt Is Science Mastodon simply on mastodon@social? Or another server? Hope to make my account soon, so advice/tips are welcome :)

Still very positive about Science Mastodon. I’m trying to think of best way to msg high profile frequent posters on bird site and encourage to set up account here. If you know these people have a word. Just a few more key people is enough #tippingpoint
