2023 has been a special year: we released glittr.org. Since then it grew to more than 500 repos with #bioinformatics #training material. Kudos to all the contributors! Especially to Patricia Palagi - Hope for better 🇧🇷 🚩🌟! and Yann Haefliger. Below are some top 3s of topics, organizations, and repos.

This is so cool!!! Great work!

Really interesting. Lots of conjecture as with social sciences but still very interesting

Finally over 100Gb on a Oxford Nanopore Promethion flow cell and still had 15% of the pores available! Woop!! Now I just need that cow skin for my GridIon and we will be unstoppable! 😂

Minimap2-2.27 released with new presets for accurate Nanopore reads and Illumina Complete Long Reads (both recommended by vendors), along with a few minor features and bug fixes. Output alignment identical to v2.26 except the value at a custom tag. github.com/lh3/minimap2/r…

I wonder what this graph would look like in the US? And what an expansion looking at industry would look like? I know in agriculture there are lots of panels at conferences that are still only men, or maybe all men and a token woman. We can and should do better

Listening to a talk on on SEM (microscopy) and the presenter says "that chamber's pretty good size, you could fit a whole lobster in it if you felt so inclined," proving once again we Americans will use any form of measurement except metric.

Ignore the messy desk in the background - we got our Oxford Nanopore GridION cow skin!!! Now we just need to get the updated GridIon and it will be beautiful!! So excited to sequence more cow bugs on my cow GridION 🥰

Anyone's Oxford Nanopore run ever do this? The flow cell is running really well but this random blip happened overnight. This blip is not on the other PromethION flow cell that was running at the same time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Opening of the Interbull/ICAR meeting. Not a bad view in the conference room

Ana Granados from EFFAB talking at the #ICAR Feed and Gas Technical working group

Really interesting talk by Caeli Richardson of #Abbacusbio

Ready for full day of talks on reducing methane emissions in Animal Ag at #ICAR2024

"It's not me. Sometimes it is just proving (the student) the opportunity." Brilliant and inspirational talk by Dr. Laura Hernandez for this Women in Dairy section UW–Madison

Dr. MaryAnne Drake talking about sparking curiosity and encouraging failure in your labs. Such an important part of science. We all fail, and often we fail a lot. So long as you pull a little nugget of learning from that failure, it's worth it.

#ADSA2024 Q: How can men support women in stem? A: Treat students like family. Express your desire to be an ally. Ask & encourage them to take leadership positions.Check in with your people- not everyone will ask for what they need.Speak up for your people when they're not there

#ADSA2024 How do you deal with a difficult team? - spend time outside of work - don't be afraid to meet 1:1 - sometimes you have to grit your teeth & move them on - sometimes they just need to go. Be unafraid to let them go - find the motivation for them being difficult

Talking mentorship: Students can be your mentor too Be humble b/c you can't know everything Sit down and figure out what we can teach each other mentorship can go both ways Not everyone can be a mentor to some people.While we may not like assigned mentors it's a starting point

#ADSA2024 "Some of our biggest failures are our biggest learning opportunities."

One day my time will come....
