- Reposted by Paul GardnerBiochemist/molecular biologist Joan Steitz was born #OTD in 1941. She (& team) figured out how our cells read/use genetic instructions to make proteins. A key person who helped crack the code on RNA—the molecule that acts like a messenger between DNA & and the proteins our bodies need. #WomenInSTEM
- No credible definition of junk DNA claims that *ALL* non-coding DNA is junk. Mainly for those who write headlines...
- Otago harbour this morning.
- I hope we don't lose another great academic to the local sea lions. 😉 I'm looking forward to your visit to Otago!

- Reposted by Paul GardnerReference genome choice compromises population genetic analyses - a problem for microbes too! Our lab is designing a tool to automatically choose references for input samples using features like phylogeny of reads to existing references. Any thoughts🤩? 🧪🦠🧬🖥️ #microsky www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

- Reposted by Paul Gardner1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv. There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.
