years ago, when I was still figuring out my scientific identity as a computational biologist, I stumbled upon Bosco Ho's personal website. it was one of the most beautiful sites I had seen with content that inspired me in many ways. think that's quite fitting for a first post www.boscoh.com #biology

I wrote a thin wrapper around #Snakemake to help you quickly monitor your Snakemake runs. It simply parses your snakemake logs! Do try - https://github.com/raivivek/snakelog

#Wikipedia is hosting a "Celebrate Women!" month — help by contributing content, edits, or revisions close to the gender representation gap on Wikipedia. See how you can help: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celebrate_Women #WomensMonth
#TIL (Today I learned) that #Overleaf provides a git interface to your documents! You can compile locally and make changes offline and sync with online version with #git. Honestly, this makes online/offline transition very smooth! #writingtips
I just donated to @Wikipedia. Support free knowledge! #iloveWikipedia https://donate.wikimedia.org
Just stumbled upon a website that wouldn't take same first name and last name! Quite ridiculous and reminded me of https://github.com/kdeldycke/awesome-falsehood — a list of #falsehoods #programmers believe in.

1. Visibility is not inclusion
2. There's no such thing as "neutral science"
3. Data-driven approaches are not free of scientific discrimination/racism, and data augmentation is not enough
4. "Neutral decisions" can be neutral to privileged and harmful to non-privileged.
(1 / 2) Got to learn about important issues on fairness, accountability, and transparency (FAT) in ML (though broadly applicable) from @timnitGebru's excellent talk at @um_midas seminar! Will retweet when recording is available.

Thanks @digitalocean! But also thanks to #Bioconda and #conda_forge for accepting my contributions! :D
I was tired of looking up how to convert one bioinformatics format to another, so I created #convert-this-to-that. Work in progress but sneek peek at https://convert.raivivek.in

I switched from using MS OneNote to simple markdown notes organized in knowledge graphs such as @RoamResearch / @obsdmd a couple of months ago and it has been working out great! Highly recommended as a simple yet powerful #notetaking mechanism. #AcademicChatter #phdchat
MeetingBar is an excellent free and open-source tool for keeping track of all your virtual meetings! It will sync automatically to your calendar, so no need to manually enter items. #opensource

Was browsing GitHub for RStudio themes and stumbled across this repository. Well, thanks for the heads up patrickshox, I won't be using your Mojave Dark theme after all.

Everyone, please take care of yourself in these extremely difficult and uncertain times.
#rstats #bioinformatics folks -- what do you prefer for exploratory analysis and quick figures, and why?
If you enjoy ComplexHeatmap, you might like tidyHeatmap -- a tidy wrapper around ComplexHeatmap. https://github.com/stemangiola/tidyHeatmap #rstats #tidyverse #heatmap #ggplot2
Please retweet and/or tag people who might have an answer. Thanks!
Lab that have migrated from hg19 ref to hg38, how did you lead your transition? If not, when you plan to do it? Looking for some #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter wisdom! @AcademicChatter

My life in 7 pictures. Day 6 of challenge - no words, no people. I was challenged by @theparkerlab :D I challenge everyone to continue focusing on their well being.
