I think a lot of people think #bioinformatics is something like this. 🧐😏 and it sort of is… 😂 #weekendreading

2 days of #metagenomics, half a day of #Snakemake and half a day of team building/socialising. Registrations close in 6 days.

In the past few years, we’ve shown that Oryza australiensis, a wild rice from northern Australia, is tolerant to salt and heat stress (links below). Now, we’ve used Oxford Nanopore long-read technology to assemble its genome! Check it out: rdcu.be/cQrAK

Team building on day 3 of our #metagenomics workshop, and the weather could not be better! Rob Edwards

The green light is on...

PhDs: your dissertation topic is less relevant to finding a role outisde of academia than your *skills*. Here's a 🧵 on how to translate skills you already have into corpspeak, including bullets which I used to describe my PhD work in my first corporate resume:

Congratulation to Lina Herliana and team on getting the #Plantago ovata (#psyllium) genome to publication in Scientific Reports!

Webmail accounts at Optus can only use passwords 8 and 15 characters long (not explicitly stated) + can't contain many special characters!! 😱 This severely hampers those of us trying to use long, complex passwords. Come on Optus, lift the security on email account passwords!!
