Seit nun inzwischen 8 Jahren lebe ich #vegan.

Dies bedeutet, seit 8 Jahren bin ich:

- tot (Proteinmangel)
- übertrieben gesund (nur Powerfoods)
- besser als alle anderen (einziger Grund, warum ich diese Tortur über mich ergehen lasse)
- arbeitslos (keine Zeit mehr, da ich allen ununterbrochen erzählen muss, dass ich Veganer bin)

In diesem Sinne, Happy Veganniversary to me!

🎊 🎉🥳🎂👏🏻

Hey, finally, 100 citations for a method - I am glad and thankful for the people using it 🙂

@happykhan boosting this to say that I finally found that opencollective also takes credit cards, and that allowed me to set up a monthly contribution for mstdn.science. Previously I had sent one-off donations via bank transfer, and that costs about as much in bank fees (and €->£ conversion) as the contribution itself.
All this is to say: Thank you for your great work keeping the instance up and running and making it a nice place from which to explore the fediverse.

@notjustbikes Cheonggyecheon is great, but Seoul is definitely not safe from car brain.
This was in the news a few days ago: Local businesses are complaining about the car-free zone around Cheonggyecheon and want to get it removed 🤦

Night sky view straight out of the lab, wow what a moonlit night in #nyc right now.

I ❤️ eduroam. Best idea ever.

For #academia #biology

I started a part-time job at NYMC sequencing core past Oct. PI here (Ravi Sachidanandam) didn't pay me until late Jan, and is now arguing I shouldn't be paid for earlier period since I wasn't present full-time.

And now it looks like 'official' job contract only covers work from late November onward and he was just lying about backpay.

I don't even care about the money - but I would like to get a warning out there about this lab. What would be a good way for this?

Try out our integration of the amazing protein structure search tool #Foldseek on #SubtiWiki (https://subtiwiki.uni-goettingen.de/v5/foldseek)! Just upload a structure or use PDB/AlphaFoldDB entries to find similar structures. @imprsgs @unigoettingen

Yoon seok yeol impeached, woot! 🎉 Good to see the Korean parliament finally do its job.

Now the case moves to the constitutional court, let's see what happens.

Finally done at work troubleshooting this damn robot. It'll be rna-seq'ing over the weekend. At last.

MMseqs2 Release 16 Highlights: GPU-accelerated search📄, ORF or new 6-frame translated search modes, contig taxonomy always keeps the longest ORF, bug fixes (reduced memory and higher sensitivity) and relicensed as MIT

🎉 Big milestone for Galaxy! 🎉 We've officially hit 20,000 citations on Google Scholar! 🌟

This is a huge achievement for our community, and we couldn't have done it without the support and collaboration of all our amazing users and contributors. Thank you for helping us reach this milestone—here's to even more discoveries ahead!

So all the scientists are suddenly so done with twitter and are moving to bluesky. 🤦

About 24 hours until I fly to #APBJC. See you there?

I will be at #APBJC next week in Okinawa! Currently setting up meetings, please reach out if you want to have a coffee/beer and chat #eDNA/bioinformatics/(plant) genomics

#bioinformatics

bioRxiv hit a new record for monthly postings. We continue to see steady growth (at a slightly reduced rate compared with pre-pandemic).

The 2020-2022 spike-then-lull is clearly a distortion from the overall trend, and the return to steady growth feels like a signal of a return to normality (albeit a new normal).

Do you work in #bioinformatics, love #conda & #bioconda, but didn't know how to start adding (or debugging) your/someone else's software to it?

Here's a three-part (opinionated) guide for the #microbifinie blog on just that, based on my own experiences!

Adding: https://ubinfie.github.io/2024/08/16/adding-to-bioconda-quickguide.html
Updating: https://ubinfie.github.io/2024/08/16/updating-bioconda-recipe-quickguide
Debugging: https://ubinfie.github.io/2024/08/16/debugging-bioconda-build-quickguide

Many thanks to George Bouras for nudging me to formalise my notes, and @shl , Wytamma Wirth, and @pmenzel for the testing/review!
