@wmata 🟡🚊⛔️🤬💔 ⚠️🚧👷🛠👷‍♂️🏗🚧 🌻💛🚇💛🌼 #RideYellow @K_F_Chambers

Here’s how to score an invite to the Yellow Brick Road Tour on May 6: Comment with an original haiku about the Yellow Line by April 13, use hashtag #RideYellow and tag a friend you'd bring along on the tour! If selected, you will be contacted via DM.

Elton John said goodbye to the yellow brick road 🎵, but we’re saying hello to the Yellow Line 🟡as we prepare for the reopening on May 7! To celebrate, we're inviting 50 people and their +1s to an exclusive tour of the new tunnel and bridge with @wmataGM Randy Clarke!

Delighted to share our new preprint @biorxivpreprint “Evolutionary shortcuts via multi-nucleotide substitutions and their impact on natural selection analyses.” Available at: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @hyphy_software @sergeilkp

@darachm @skryazhi @_miloj @s_venkataram we're also on the barcode band wagon for journal club this week, cheers!

@skryazhi @_miloj @s_venkataram It looks really good. I haven't had a chance to go through it in detail, but y'all hit on pretty much everything, and I am looking forward to getting into it with a journal club next week. This is going to help a lotta people - good work!

Nice to see this out! link.springer.com/article/10.100… This was such an enjoyable collaboration with @_miloj and @s_venkataram. I learned so much in the process. Thank you guys! Also thanks to @darachm for giving us valuable feedback on the preprint!

DCA TO LAX for #Yeast22! Super jazzed to be attending in person, come stop by poster 104B Friday night

I'll be sharing some updates on our exploration of the evolutionary arms race between human PKR and poxvirus K3, stop by poster B8 this Thursday! #varianteffect22

@DavidEnard @darachm any chance you're looking into PKR?! twitter.com/davidenard/sta… if so let me know, we've got 400+ missense variants

a truckload of #bees!!!

@walterwick where can I purchase a poster print of Walter Wick’s work? 🕵️‍♂️

@zhangf @ScienceMagazine @altaetran @soumya_kannan12 @eugene_koonin @Ivan_Bilinski @GCACTAATTGAGAAC just for giggles, #AlphaFold IscB (model confidence: 🔵high, 🟠low) github.com/greenkidneybea…

CRISPR technologies are powerful gene editing tools because they are programmable. We are excited to describe 3 new programmable systems, IscB, IsrB, and TnpB, some of the most abundant genes on the planet, with potential for gene editing. @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@darachm YPD recovery on left, YNB+Dex on right. Thank ya!

Yeast twitter, if anyone is doing LiAc/PEG Gietz-style transformations sometime, can you try also resuspending/recoverying in no-nitrogen media? Looks like it does well (middle, YNB+Dex) compared to YPD (left) or water (r). 1/10th 100ng, 2h recovery b4 pl8

Hey #SMBEv2021! I'll be taking questions on 7/7/21 at 4pm EST, stop by if you wanna chat about some co-evolving human-virus proteins (or synthesizers, or frogs, etc.)

I have posted an updated version of my pre-print describing #SARSCoV2 sequences from the early Wuhan epidemic that were deleted from the Sequence Read Archive. This revision should clarify some key questions people asked about the original version: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)

The vinyl release of Sixteen Oceans has 16 locked grooves on side D of loops that I made. @djfood has used a custom 4 arm turntable to make 2 amazing remixes from the loops. You can get them on Bandcamp here …adraphonicstylusensemble.bandcamp.com/album/four-tet…

My first open source project 😃github.com/natewong1313/b…

.@FourTet back on the NTS airwaves now, playing "mainly bangers" for the next two hours - turn it up nice and loud: nts.live/2

We are very happy to announce a new album... It's called Continuous Portrait, and you can hear a song, "Outlook for the Future," at this link, and also preorder there (album out digital May 29, vinyl/CD July 10). smarturl.it/INVENTIONSMUSIC

Schools, offices, & concerts 🌎wide have been requested to close & with many people self-quarantining & working from 🏡, we wanted to help you occupy your time a little. Now until March 20th, get the iKaossilator App FREE for iOS & Android. Have some fun: buff.ly/38RRHOa

@crashfrog @dgmacarthur BOOMSKIES, next question!

Someone knocks on my door claiming to be an expert in your field. What is the ONE question I could ask them that would cleanly distinguish a true expert from a charlatan, and what answer should I be looking for?
