So the Supreme Court won’t allow states to regulate guns but WILL allow states to regulate a woman’s body?! Complete BS!! #RoeVsWade

So, to sum up the Supreme Court’s week: life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting.

@AmyVJennison It's really unfortunate that these sessions weren't available to remote attendees, especially given how expensive the registration was! Just the plenaries (live) and pre-recorded breakout session talks. I would have really loved to see these! @CDGN_Australia @_PHAA_

Going to IMMEM in Bath in September? Why don't you join us for the 8th Microbial Bioinformatics Hackathon just beforehand? Places are limited. Sign-up: tinyurl.com/microbinfiehac… More info: github.com/MicroBinfie/Mi…

@ThomasHoufek @tanyagolubchik @CathyYoung63 Victoria is a different state in Australia, which had an outbreak at the time dominated by one genomic lineage. Throughout much of the pandemic, travel between states was restricted to reduce spread.

@tanyagolubchik @CathyYoung63 Oh, sorry, I guess you are from New Zealand or Australia or one of those Brit-like places. Question stands.

The graphs on our covid-variant github and @phydyn's thread leave out an important point: the number of cases occurring each stage. Here is our attempt to estimate the contribution of BA.1 and BA.2 to our Omicron wave

@bioinformer yes, the 454/SOLiD was data from ~2010 that took a long time to disambiguate enough to publish because the genome was such a puzzle. lf only nanopore was readily available at the time… (Also, note that there is PacBio and Illumina data in this paper too!)

just read a paper from 2017 that used a combination of ABI SOLiD and Roche 454 Titanium sequencing data for assembly of H. pylori SS1 I am guessing this was OLD data that finally got published in 2017? really suprised. journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11…

@sciolato Well, if it doesn’t make it, I can just think of it as having grown wings and flown away… 🌱🐛🦋

@mbeisen @biorxivpreprint easier said than done… my last paper was rejected from biorxiv because it was “medical research” and from medrxiv because it “wasn’t research” 🤷‍♀️

A better publishing world is there for the taking if we embrace it: 1) Post everything to @biorxivpreprint et al 2) Have scientific societies & other community based groups carry out review and share results openly 3) Funders pay costs directly so free to publish & read

Very helpful! @Gleebooks

Dr. Leondios Kostrikis & the Cyprus team deserve credit for doing important viral sequencing work. Mistakes happen easily. Let's move forward with kindness & collaboration. We can't beat this virus alone! h/t @shay_fleishon @PeacockFlu #Omicron #deltacron newsweek.com/deltacron-vari…

I have officially started my new position at the University of Canterbury! I am really happy to be here. Wanna join us? My school is looking for a Bioinformatics person to lead our new Bioinformatics major. JOIN US! Pls RT! #NZLabLife #Bioinformatics jobs.canterbury.ac.nz/jobdetails/aji…

@Joepdl I love goat island. Enjoy!!!
