Well, it's all happening on the bloosky site. Has everyone finally had enough of the endless Temu and Evony the Kings return ads? Come join.

New from the lab with @sedlazeck Brilliant analysis by ⁦@MichalIzydorcz1⁩ of long read ⁦@nanopore⁩ WGS from single human brain cells, after droplet MDA amplification in the Samplix X-drop. Funded by ⁦@ASAP_Research⁩ ⁦@UCLIoNmedrxiv.org/content/10.110…


I lived in London when this opened and I remember I felt like I had stepped into the future, and that the future was a good place.

This year marks a quarter-century of Westminster's Jubilee line station. Still looks magnificent: Piranesian Anglo-futurism.

I've just explored the brand-new tidyplots package in R, and it’s impressive how effortlessly it enables you to create beautiful, publication-ready plots. Designed with scientific papers in mind, tidyplots lets you build, adjust, and refine plot components gradually, all with a…

Bring your data visualizations to life with animation! The gganimate package extends ggplot2 by adding animation capabilities, making it easy to create dynamic and engaging plots that reveal patterns over time or across categories. ✔️ Dynamic Storytelling: Transform static…

II'm excited to finally share our study on the mutational landscape and selection dynamics in sperm, now live on medRxiv: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. We explored how positive selection impacts mutation rates, especially with age. Here’s a quick thread on our findings! 🧵👇

Excited to share our new preprint in which we address: (1) Accurate sequencing of sperm at scale (2) Positive selection of spermatogenesis driver mutations across the exome (3) Offspring disease risks from male reproductive aging [1/15] medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really excited to have this out: a cell type-specific map of the impact of an understudied class of genetic variation (tandem repeats) on gene expression, at serious scale: nearly 1800 people with both WGS and blood scRNA-seq. So much signal!

📢 New preprint alert: We’ve just published a deep dive into the role of tandem repeats (#TRs) in single-cell gene expression across the immune system, using #WGS and #scRNA-seq data from 1,790 individuals and over 5 million blood cells! 🧬 🧵👇 #repeats #SingleCell 1/9

My old account has disappeared, and I'm not sure why. I’m hoping to recover it somehow or link it to my new one! Thank you to everyone for reconnecting!

Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes. Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! x.com/NKWhiteman/sta…

A reminder that your search committee chair, grant proposal reviewers, and manuscript reviewers might be among the 1/12 XY or 1/200 XX who can’t see what you think is obvious in your figures because they have a color vision deficiency. Adobe tools, many papers on the topic, etc.

This is great! @NIAIDNews have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) bioart.niaid.nih.gov

We go out regularly for lab lunches. Within 10 minutes walk we have decent restaurants cooking different Indian regions, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Yemeni, Nigerian, a pub and a chippy. That's off the top of my head.

As someone who lived in Rome for many years and thinks south-central Italy is the centre of the universe: the cities and even quite small towns in the UK have a better diversity of international cuisine than most European countries, and are nothing like Holland or Germany

Fascinating document related to HE national bargaining has come to light through FoI. It's striking just how much policy relating to industrial action is set by UCEA and enforced on employers through 'expectations' that it will be followed. Full doc: uk-highereducation.neocities.org/23Oct24.pdf
