KT Pickard 💉x 5

Taking a break from Twitter— see genomedad.com for updates.

@GholsonLyon I checked Twitter today for the first time in 5 months & your tweet was at the top of my feed. Agreed that—at least for scientific discourse—Twitter has died. I did not find a new home at Mastodon & LinkedIn is too broad. Open to ideas—

Kinda sad to me, though, that much of Twitter seems to have died, so that many scientists are no longer on the platform. Makes it hard to communicate in one place. Instead, we are left with fragmented world, and attending conferences and webinars is more important again....

I requested an archive of my tweets and will be leaving Twitter soon. Many thanks for an amazing 12 years learning with all of you!

More on today’s #NovaSeqX announcement from @illumina #IGF genomeweb.com/sequencing/ill…

It’s a short putt from the $200 genome to the $100 genome. #IGF

@AlbertVilella @fdesouza The real-time update of your spreadsheet is awesome. Thank you for the live tweets.

@kt_pickard Yes, that's what @fdesouza said.

I'll be live tweeting the $ILMN Illumina #IGF with running commentary. I won't intend to be comprehensive with the slide deck screenshots, but cover the main headlines.

@AlbertVilella $200 per genome, including reagents and bfx. Did I get that right?
