A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

As with most things in biology, evolution is the best way to understand the GENOME: how it came to be the way it is and how it functions. Here are my slides from teaching a super fun course on Genome Evolution. Feel free to use and circulate: 525 slides! tinyurl.com/yckvnww4

Wait a second, these are not real error bars … the author literally just put the letter “T” above the bar graphs 😭

I asked #chatGPT to write a simple grouping regular expression for me in Python to match genome coordinate strings like chr1:13412:13424. It did instantly. (Going to share more research uses of ChatGPT as they pop up in this thread, so folks uninterested can mute the thread.)

As an academic writing coach, here are the 7 mistakes I see supervisors and PIs make in the process of co-writing a paper with their PhD students or mentees. A thread. 🧵 #AcademicChatter #newPI #PhDchat

Have you seen the new Cyano.World website? It’s the central place for all information regarding the #cyanobacteria online seminar. We constantly add new stuff like jobs and other events. We are expanding to other infos useful to cyano research and #biotech industry soon.

What was the name of this one database again?!? New to #cyanobacteria and don't know where to get information? - We've create a list of online resource about cyanobacteria, i.e. databases, web tools, protocols, culture collections. Check it out: cyano.world/resources
