This remains one of the best openers of a semi academic publication ever and I cannot read it without laughing annoyingly out loud

The sad thing about standard innovation pundits is that they get excited about all the stuff you'd expect a corporate capitalist system to do - more automation, acceleration, centralisation It's like reporting on the predictable progress of a cancer as exciting cutting edge news

So this comic was made with the @midjourney AI, and it took me a couple of months, although not for the reasons one might think.
I made another weird little comic thing, hopeful and a little bittersweet, about conservation after the apocalypse. A topic near and dear to my heart, Lord knows. (Technical notes in another thread, linked at the end.)

Here goes - my very first amateur biologist biorxiv submission in partnership with & guidance from @kmaclea. First sequencing and complete genome assembly of Halococcus dombrowskii, hinting at a Haloarchaea with extra rRNA operons on its plasmids. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Corporate Infosec sends a phishing test email, I click, and somehow I'm the asshole because "[I] failed the test; had this been real it would have destroyed the company network"? If me clicking can destroy the network, I'm not the one in this conversation who sucks at their job.

There have been a number of overview threads on the emerging variant designated as @PangoNetwork lineage B.1.1.529, @nextstrain clade 21K and @WHO Variant of Concern Omicron. I'm not going to attempt to be comprehensive here, but will highlight a few aspects of the data. 1/16

This important new study by @ScotteHENSLEY examining 36 children (age 1-17) and 168 adults (age 18-90) shows that pre-pandemic cross-reactive antibodies do not confer protection against #SARSCoV2 infection or #COVID19 disease severity.
Replying to @SCOTTeHENSLEY
3. Most importantly, we were able to measure Abs in a super unique cohort: individuals who donated serum prior to the pandemic who subsequently went on to become infected with SARS-CoV-2. Pre-pandemic cross-reactive SARS-CoV-2 Abs did not correlate with SARS-CoV-2 protection. 4/7

If you run a SaaS business, and use a fair bit of EC2, and your tech stack is mostly C/C++, Python and PHP: We would love to have a chat with you :-) (background: We're looking for people to try our tech before we release it, and to provide early feedback). Please RT for reach.

I put together a six-week seminar series on microbial 'omics. The purpose here is to clarify key concepts in simple, digestible terms with no practical discussions. Details, schedule, and a registration link is here: merenlab.org/2020/06/27/semi…
