@ashley_phelps @pathofexile I am feeling both the frustration with bosses and the sweet sweet dopamine of finally killing the boss. However, for some bosses, its only luck that let me kill it. May be my build is the issue. However, I do agree that some boss in the Campaign need a little tweak.

We've found another skill in an unacceptable balance state. Following the same ideals as earlier, we're also going to be reducing the damage of Magnetic Salvo in the next hotfix. Note that this isn't the only skill on our radar right now but we're really just trying to address egregious cases at the moment. We're currently playing alongside you all and are also collating a lot of your feedback that we'll be addressing as much as possible in the upcoming week once the team is back in the office before the holidays. Thanks Exiles!

The Simpsons on PhD students - almost twenty years old & more cutting than ever

Killing him, even if you had to do it to save the lives of others, would be just one more death for future sentient beings to be sad about. How could you look up at the stars, and believe anything else?

@FromPhDtoLife I try to understand how insects are different from one another.

One challenge for folks in academia, including graduate students, is to try to separate who you are from what you do. Try this: How would you describe what you do without referencing your degree, discipline, job title? Go!

NCBS is a biological science institute. Yet, it enjoys and celebrates all kinds of science! Proud to have graduated from this Institute! I wish I can see such excitement in foreign institutes. #Chandrayaan3Success

@nilshomer @fulcrumgenomics I feel individual tools make pipeline flexible. It also helps avoid tools and syntax and the inner workings be too complicated. Also helps with appropriate documentation.

#Bioinformatics: how many tools should be in a toolkit? At @fulcrumgenomics, we've been authors of monolithic toolkits like Picard and fgbio, to purpose-built single command-line tools, but where do we draw the line? Tell us, how should we organize our tools?

Very pleased to announce the launch of online genetics/ evolution teaching webtools by Russell Myers. Simulate genetic crosses, assess inheritance patterns from pedigrees, calculate recombination fractions, test for Hardy-Weinberg, and more! Please share! genevol.biology.duke.edu

nature has actually contacted me for comment about accusations that Sci-Hub is a threat, here is my full response / it is clear that academic publishers care about their money, not about security of other people

@ambikamath Dreamt of an amazing afterlife :p

@sciencedirect Scihub :)

78% of researchers often perform interdisciplinary research, but how do they quickly get up to speed in an unfamiliar topic? Provide a fast and convenient way to access knowledge with ScienceDirect eBooks. bit.ly/2OhFhpm

I don’t care if you cure cancer, end global warming and resurrect unicorns. If you sexually harass someone you should be expelled from the National Academy <FULL STOP>.
