Learning about fabrics and waves then definitely influences my clothing purchases nowadays, while graphic design helps with figure creation 🧪🥹🎨
Thank you so much for sharing this recent episode by @ifbookspod.bsky.social 🥹 I'm looking forward to listening to this one along with several others that people have recommended!

“The number became an important, irrefutable fact in the conversation about the immigration crackdown,” our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.
I've been pushing through a lot of pain with this #InvisibleIllness 🌻 lately--hopefully they're able to find what's wrong with me! 🫠
When I interacted with the infrastructure folks, they were willing to sit down with me and explain software design decisions, etc. Whereas with my boss, he prioritized speed (and bad code) versus robustness and accuracy 🫠

Our lab is looking to use AnVIL after recent changes in NIST guidelines rendered EXPANSE at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at @ucsandiego.bsky.social non-compliant 🥲

MAHA is platforming views of a very small minority, to erode the majority.

💸 Medical appointments this year to date cost a grand total of $170,431.64 💸 Luckily, you have insurance! 🏥 ✨
🚑 You went to the Emergency Room TWICE this year, with one visit amounting to $16,920.81! 🤯
📹 You had 9 video visits, with most in Women's Health and Neurology 🧠
I feel like I care a lot about reproducibility and robustness with my science and providing adequate documentation but ... efforts to get to that point aren't appreciated in the grand scheme of ✨ publishing novel things quickly in high impact places ✨

Even with new advances in the literature around genetics such as plasticity, there’s a clear power dynamic at play in the ways that we valorise genetics.
At least now the data is properly harmonized and I can trust the results I get out of it! 😅
So when I tried my data harmonization pipeline 🧬 💻 🧪 from the primary, untouched VCF files instead (vs. pre-processed files I was given 😬) and everything worked magically, it was VERY frustrating 😭

Sometimes I feel like I’m working twice as hard with physical and nerve pain, brain fog, and exhaustion … but none of that counts 😭 🥲
#AcademicChatter
As somebody with two herniated discs, a surgically fused SI joint, and general nerve damage in my legs, the additional bone and joint pain doesn’t help 😭
It’s hard to focus when my body is actively working against me all the time … 🥲
