I'm super happy to finally share the results from our survey in the #cyanobacteria research community. It was great project together w/ @MoritzBross. There are a lot of interesting insights and opinions of community members that could make cyano research even more interesting

We added some suggestions for improving #reproducibility of #cyanobacteria research to start some discussion on this topic. By no means are those definitive answers

Gentechnisch veränderte Pflanzen sind für die menschliche Gesundheit nicht gefährlicher – oder ungefährlicher – als konventionell gezüchtete. Demnächst wird die @EU_Commission einen Vorschlag zum Anbau gentechnisch veränderter Pflanzen in Europa machen. zeit.de/2023/19/biotechnolog…

What was the name of this one database again?!? New to #cyanobacteria and don't know where to get information? - We've create a list of online resource about cyanobacteria, i.e. databases, web tools, protocols, culture collections. Check it out: cyano.world/resources

As an academic writing coach, here are the 7 mistakes I see supervisors and PIs make in the process of co-writing a paper with their PhD students or mentees. A thread. 🧵 #AcademicChatter #newPI #PhDchat

I asked #chatGPT to write a simple grouping regular expression for me in Python to match genome coordinate strings like chr1:13412:13424. It did instantly. (Going to share more research uses of ChatGPT as they pop up in this thread, so folks uninterested can mute the thread.)

Wait a second, these are not real error bars … the author literally just put the letter “T” above the bar graphs 😭

As with most things in biology, evolution is the best way to understand the GENOME: how it came to be the way it is and how it functions. Here are my slides from teaching a super fun course on Genome Evolution. Feel free to use and circulate: 525 slides! tinyurl.com/yckvnww4

PCR Test in Deutschland 49 Euro, in Wien kostenfrei. Flüge nach Wien hin und zurück 18,99. Nach Wien fliegen und sich testen lassen ist günstiger als ein Test hier! Damit dürfte alles über die deutsche Gesundheitspolitik und die europäische Klimapolitik gesagt sein. 🤯🤯

The difference between doing a project and presenting it. An observation can lead to many avenues of explorations before focus turns to a specific discovery. Presenting it, in a talk / paper, follows inversely, with broad perspectives coming before & after the specific discovery.
