Bit grumpy about the GGG / Canelo draw. What a farce. They'll both do well out of the rematch though.

Paper submitted! Everything that can be crossed has been.

Looking through by work emails - at least 1/2 are now from spam journals and conferences. Unbelievable how pervasive these things are.

Nice - looks particularly useful. x.com/RStudioJoe/sta…

Never too old to learn - I spent my 30s & 40s convincing myself I couldn’t learn programming of any sort - I turned 50 today and I am 4 months deep into learning R and I am loving it! #fab50 #rstats #nevertooold

#TropAg2017 day! 🌱 And I’m stuck in traffic 😕

Great keynote from Derek Byerlee on the challenges (hopefully surmountable) facing global agriculture. A few digs at QLD land clearing. #TropAg2017

Think this was my favourite slide of the day - 160m wide phenotyping beast in the US dessert. From Todd Mockler I think in the Genes, phenes and flying machines symposium. #TropAg2017

desert, not dessert. I blame auto-correct

Decided to try listening to a podcast. Downloaded Serial season 1. Lost the weekend.

SCRAM, our small RNA read aligner and visualization suite, is out as an advance article in Bioinformatics. We developed the pipeline primarily for analysing plant and viral siRNAs, though it's pretty versatile! academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… #QAAFI #mitterlab #RNAi

In 1999, I asked David Gerrold to write a "future of computing" prediction for the magazine where I was Technology Editor. Here's what he wrote.

New paper in press today at Nature Reviews Genetics: Piercing the dark matter: bioinformatics of long-range sequencing and mapping rdcu.be/J8Ib. Summarizes all the major ways long reads, linked reads, HiC and Optical Mapping are being used to advance genomics

The #NBN has been delayed around UQ until mid-2020. Stuck with ADSL until then. Makes working at home very difficult. All the existing HFC infrastructure that taxpayers bought from Telstra is to be ditched in place of fibre to the curb too. Great planning there. #auspol
