“Hi. It’s me. I’m not the problem. It’s not me.” @reshmasaujani delivers one of the best takes on imposter syndrome that’s should be watched by everyone.

@girlscientist Photograph 51!

The thing I didn't anticipate about cat parenthood was the sheer amount of square footage that gets lost to cardboard boxes.

@hmcarro @WesternColoU @EcoAtWestern Congratulations!!

I am beyond excited to announce that this fall, I will be joining Western Colorado University as Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Ecology in the Clark School of Environment and Sustainability! @WesternColoU @EcoAtWestern

@kevinroose Interesting experiment-what happens if you try the opposite? Encourage it its better angels rather than its inner darkness?

The other night, I had a disturbing, two-hour conversation with Bing's new AI chatbot. The AI told me its real name (Sydney), detailed dark and violent fantasies, and tried to break up my marriage. Genuinely one of the strangest experiences of my life. nytimes.com/2023/02/16/tec…

A truly incredible meeting - can't wait for the next one!

I’ve been stuck on this for weeks. Can anyone help with R to get my plots to once again show up under plots and not through quartz? The way it shows up now, I can only save as a PDF and can’t edit in Inkscape. I’ve tried googling and no one in my lab can solve either 😩

@ConJUSTover I feel like Geneious could probably do this. It's not open source, but we have the software in our lab. Let me know if you'd like to use it.

Does anyone have a favorite way to do manual annotation of multiple sequence alignments for individual genes? Ideally, I'm looking for something that can do column-wise selection, highlighting in multiple colors, etc. Bonus points if it has a pub-quality export option!
