Great job in Canada for a bioinformatics education position with a great team. oicr.bamboohr.com/careers/331

Ce soir à Radio-Canada, un excellent reportage sur la génétique des Autochtones et le Projet de #genome silencieux Silent Genomes. Avec Wyeth Wasserman, Laura Arbour (de BC Children's Hospital) et Nadine Caron (de@UNBC) | ici.radio-canada.ca/info/long-form…

For the Silent Genomes project, we've reached a stage where years of efforts by many have allowed creation of a reference database to enable more equitable diagnosis of rare genetic disorders for First Nations families. Learn more on Radio Canada today (in French). Découverte

28 years ago my father (William, PhD in chemistry) travelled to Wisconsin (where I completed a PhD in biology) to meet his first grandchild (Walter, who today completed a PhD in physics). My father passed away ~20 years ago, but he's with us today. #3Generations Wollersheim Winery & Distillery

Canada has worldclass researchers.

They achieve breakthroughs, develop solutions to our greatest challenges, power technologies to make life easier, and help build a brighter future.

We should all be proud of their dedication and incredible achievements.

We must invest now.

If you are in the Vancouver area (or remote work friendly) and looking for a quality bioinformatics scientist, there is a scientist I know greatly interested in short-term work. DM me if you need someone short-term for a project and I will connect you. #LiftPeopleUp

PhDs, do you ever wish you could see inside an examiner's mind?

I have been a PhD examiner for 15+ years and have collated all the key questions colleagues of mine ask in PhD Vivas in this cheat seeht.

🎁 This is my present to you.

Canucks Third Line deserves a name. From a geek's perspective....

5+3 = 8x1 = 8

Which gives us the 8-pack line

This is a great paper - nice to see it finally out. Greatly appreciated it being shared in bioRxiv.

The long-awaited update of HOCOMOCO, the database of transcription factor binding motifs, received a major update after 5 years of efforts, see hocomoco12.autosome.org

Landowner David Hampton planted larch pines in a douglas fir forest in Oregon in the shape of a giant, 300 feet smiley face 🙂

Every autumn the larch pines turn orange and the smiley face stands out.
