On 8/1/22, DWU has delivered a message to Voodoo Doughnut: Workers at the Old Town location have filed for an election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Re: history of software for evolutionary biology: Roderic Page's reminiscences finally pushed me to record what using MacClade version 1.0 in 1986 was like. youtu.be/A9ff6o7GPtk David R. Maddison

@ZKamvar's talk on building accessible lessons for new R users was another good talk in this genre. For me, it was a good introduction to The Carpentries (at @[email protected]), which I had only heard about in passing. They have a conference happening this week, btw!

State of Colorado is hiring a Bioinformatics Scientist in the public health laboratory to be in charge of analysis of NGS data by the Genomic Surveillance Program. Looks pretty sweet! governmentjobs.com/careers/colora…

Don't tell me an endemic wildflower is standing in the way of our renewable energy future when the IRA will expand new oil and gas. The people with the money are killing us, not an endemic flower. #Teambuckwheat washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…

Incredible job opportunity for tree geneticist in Pacific Northwest with USDA Forest Service! These jobs are pretty rare ! And so important for forest management! drive.google.com/file/d/19YW5GR…

Oh, no no no. The same person who consistently voted against OR FF’s labor protections, worked overtime to obstruct fire legislation, and voted no on HJM3 (a bipartisan motion that urged congress to pass specific wildfire land Mgmnt legislation) does not get to swoop in…(1/4)

Any of my friends with bioinformatics expertise interested in picking up some low-lift side projects? My colleague is looking for a new collaborator! Topics include things like mtDNA haplotypes, gene expression, basic stats.

Senseless #missile attack on the National #Herbarium of #Ukraine (KW). Fortunately, nobody injured and no irreversible loss of specimens. But so many other senseless attacks caused loss of lives and homes. Still, feels different to know I have been at this window just a year ago.

Congrats to Dr. Paul Snyder, aka @WarDrumRhythm, aka Dr. EXPERT on this paper! I learned a ton helping out, including that results don't often fit cleanly into "established" theory. Learn more about disease dilution/amplification in 🐸🐸 here! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

.Christine Drazan sponsored a bill that could jail doctors who provide abortions. This is not the “New Direction” we need. We can’t let an anti-abortion Republican take us backward.

“The fact that Treasurer tobias read is releasing this decarbonization plan in the first place is a direct result of the power Divest Oregon has built over the past year, and direct pressure from Oregonians demanding public money no longer finance climate destruction" RT Please!

Big thanks to the OR Health Authority Newborn Screening program at the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory, which screens nearly every Oregon newborn for over 40 serious but treatable medical conditions! oregon.gov/oha/ph/laborat…

What is the genetic diversity of a fish? And, can you know that from a scoop of water? We present a genomics-based method to measure and track genetic diversity of Pacific salmon and trout from eDNA samples @BrookePenaluna Kevin Weitemier @rcronn1 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
