Class time has become screen time in American schools. Educators wonder if the rapid tech transformation has really benefited learning—or if it’s done kids a disservice. wsj.com/us-news/education/sc… via @WSJ
I wish @sandiegounified had never handed my 5yo son a Chromebook. Pathetic.

Ever notice in the Berenstain Bears how Mama and Papa never have to play with Sister or Brother Bear, never have to force them outside, or make separate meals, or sit in their room until they fall asleep?

Why do winners of Survivor get $1 million but on Naked & Afraid: Last One Standing, just $100K? Perhaps @NYMag can investigate. vulture.com/article/survivor…

The three supermoms behind CNV Commission are collecting samples for the first-ever cohort of 300 paired whole-genome and whole-transcriptome sequences from patients with Copy Number Variants and relatives. Learn more about their inspiring journey: bit.ly/43kLF58

Not only has @LanzaTech prevented 200K tons of carbon from entering the atmosphere, but they can also turn carbon emissions into valuable material commodities. The ethanol they produce has been used to make polyester products like @lululemon pants. bit.ly/3FaoKz7

Such a fun story to work on. I feel like an honorary Ohioan (which is saying a lot, coming from a USC Trojan).

Genomics company Illumina just unveiled its fastest, most cost-efficient DNA sequencer yet. The machine will deliver a $200 human genome and will be able to generate 20,000 of them a year. wired.com/story/the-era-of-f…

Illumina Inc. introduced a new gene-sequencing machines that it says can more-than-double capacity and slash the cost of sequencing, as it faces competition and price pressures on.wsj.com/3rfwBF5
This story really opened my eyes to the realities happening with great apes but what an uplifting thing to say, hey, we can approach a conservation problem with a new tool—genomics. #IlluminaProud #letsdothis
Every year, thousands of great apes are being captured for illegal trade. A new Illumina iConserve project seeks to create the first genomic atlas of gorillas so that confiscated gorillas can be sequenced & matched to their population of origin. #Genomics bit.ly/3uc5i0D

6 million pet dogs are diagnosed with cancer annually in the US. Since dogs are good at suppressing signs of pain—and they can’t verbalize symptoms—Daniel Grosu founded @PetDxInc to develop a multi-cancer #EarlyDetection liquid biopsy for dogs. Read more: bddy.me/3pyLbq6

I love working for a company that is trying to change the world. Writing this story gave me the warm fuzzies. #WorldLemurDay
Happy #WorldLemurDay! We’re partnering with @sandiegozoo to sequence 73 samples of the critically endangered red ruffed lemur species. We’ll assess changes in genetic diversity over time and what we can do to conserve the most threatened group of mammals.

Thanks to @coccolithophile + Jayme Smith + @SarahE_Richards @LawlessKahlil for this eDNA story. Great work!
Ahead of Climate Week, we’re highlighting the important work of algae biologists at Southern California Coastal Water Research Project. They’re using genomics to monitor toxic blooms.

I never thought I'd be saying the words "comprehensive genomic profiling" but working at @illumina I have come to understand, appreciate, and write about the wondrous things genomics, and customers like @Providence, can accomplish. illumina.com/company/news-ce… #cancer #precisionmed

This was the most interesting story I have worked on in a long time. Such ingenious work by @othram & for such a good cause, reuniting families. Thanks for the interview, David!
Every year, 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered in the US. Law enforcement is working with @othram to help solve some of these tragic cases using the power of #NGS. #unsolved
