Please enjoy these old photos of Phormidium pseudopriestleyi, an Antarctic Cyanobacteria that has braved low light and sulfidic waters in Lake Fryxell, as well as arguably more pleasant ambient lab conditions (before being put into a cryostock last year due to campus closures)

UC Davis students/people! I had a 30 min meeting with a Career advisor to spruce up my resume this week and it was incredibly helpful and pleasant. Thought I'd give it a shout out: icc.ucdavis.edu/services/advis… (and thanks ChristyGrettenberger for suggesting it!)

Hey Twitter friends, I'm trying to collect the unwritten curriculum of fieldwork, field gear, and generally being outside (to share with students, friends, and folks who want to get outside). Got any that you are willing to share? (1/4)

Does anyone have nice examples of Asset Inventories or pages that display database information w/ a filtering system & spatial components? I just started an internship to revamp CA OPR's Precision Medicine Asset Inventory and am searching for inspiration! opr.ca.gov/ciapm/resource…

Thrilled that the #CAComeback plan includes over $12M in increased support to find innovative and targeted approaches to ACEs, in line with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris's critial report. Kudos to @Cal_OPR's precision medicine team for continuing to support best-in-class CA projects!

Does anyone have a favorite operon analysis tool that works on ~90% complete bacterial MAGs? Thanks!!

The Common Fund Data Ecosystem is hosting a Virtual Hackathon Feb 21-25! We will explore Common Fund data sets and tools in concentrated sessions and asynchronous work. Find out more at: nih-cfde.github.io/2022-feb-hacka… or register now at bit.ly/3grNqaq

We're doing a hackathon! Come check out what the Common Fund is doing around data discovery and data reuse! You should come for the presentations, but you'll stay for the donuts!* * donuts will not be included due to this being a virtual event, sorry.

Since December 2020, the Common Fund Data Ecosystem has hosted 46 free, virtual training events with a total of 1102 attendees. Here's an overview of the workshop topics and the attendance at each event. Made with #rstats. Learn more at training.nih-cfde.org/en/latest/

This afternoon Dr. Amanda Charbonneau lead a session on obtaining and working with Human Microbiome data from the CFDE portal to Amazon Web Services using a DRS ID resolver!

I'm hosting a "social co-working" session as part of the Common Fund Data Ecosystem hackathon. We work silently for 25 min, take a 5 min break, then repeat 2x. I used this "pomodoro" method a lot with Dr. Rachel Wright and Stefanie Butland to finish manuscripts. Register at nih-cfde.org/events/common-…

Hi all, check out Rayna Harris PhD Jessica Mizzi Lumian recap of the first CFDE Hackathon! It features sessions from Common Fund Data Ecosystem, exRNA, Human Microbiome, Metabolomics Workbench, and LINCS Program. Recordings are on our website and and we've already begun planning the next one. ivory.idyll.org/blog/2022-feb-…

Save the date: the next @cfdenih hackathon will be Apr 25-29th. We're working on the outline of participating programs etc now, so it may be a few weeks, but we expect bigger, better, and badder :). The signup link for notifications is in the blog post in the below tweet!

The SPARC.science portal maps connections between nerve and organ systems for discovery and development. The CFDE Hackathon features a session on accessing these resources with the SPARC API on May 11! More info at nih-cfde.github.io/2022-may-hacka… Register here: bit.ly/3MkPJtH

The CFDE Hackathon session "Intro to R for RNA-Seq Analysis" on 5/11 will teach participants how to import, wrangle, harmonize & visualize RNA-seq data in RStudio, featuring data from the GTEx Portal. More details at: nih-cfde.github.io/2022-may-hacka… Register here: bit.ly/3MkPJtH

We had some great discussion about detecting Antarctic cyanobacteria genomes, which was part of my dissertation research! Made possible by sourmash and wonderful collaborators :) Titus Brown @luizirber Tessa Pierce Ward, PhD (@bluegenes.bsky.social)

A few more pictures :) thanks @sumnerd + many others for the years of support!
