Data scientist, soil microbiologist, data visualization nerd. My life will be complete when all my figures can be referred to as sexy

Anyone at #MSAfungi19 feeling adventurous and want to go running along the river tomorrow (Aug 12) morning and chat science!? #scientistswhorun

Today is the International day of women and girls in science. We scientists have to commit for inspiring, inclusive and diverse at all levels science. Science conducted by women is not visible enough and this provides a distorted standard for our young minds. #WomenInSTEMM

@OrangeDataMiner for the first few tutorials I was in a constant state of "holy frijoles you can do THAT!?" It has been like data Christmas

Way to represent!

There's nothing I love more than figuring out a do loop that literally saves you hours of keyboard smashing work. GLORY TO THE DO LOOP!

So engrossed in the data I didn't notice my "Data Crunching Playlist" had switched to Japanese music several songs back. Tis a good day.

.@MadsAlbertsen85 believes (as do I) that we are on the cusp of a new frontier of whole genome reconstruction using long-read metagenomic seq assembly. Exciting! #nanoporeconf

Extrovert brain: It was great being around so many scientists! Let's collaborate!
Introvert brain: No. More. Humans.

Learnings from #ipc2017
-Plants can save the world, slowly
-Microbes can help them do it, slowly
-We have contaminated sites for days!!

@RobynBarbato crushing it like a boss at #IPC2017

Putting the fun in funky fresh science #IPC2017

[Robert M Jones @C1tizenJones]

Brain: oh here's an idea for a proposal
Me: wow that's great I love it!
Google scholar: So did these 16 other people 8 years ago suckah.

[Robert M Jones @C1tizenJones]

@RobynBarbato 9 out of 10 scientists agree pics or it didn't happen.

Just launched https://t.co/KDLIDzeUVg, a web tool to quickly QC your FASTQ files. Inspired by the awesome iobio suite.

[Robert M Jones @C1tizenJones]

But then you get with the metagenomics and its hella complicated & always hiding stuff from you & complains that you never understand her. https://t.co/Zy3RIrGrgp

Bit late to this...

[Robert M Jones @C1tizenJones]

When you have a great idea for data viz but no program exists to make it so logically you should make it yourself...but thats haaarrddddd

[Robert M Jones @C1tizenJones]

@NatlParkService a few days late but I am humbled and extremely grateful to the NPS for allowing free access to the Tetons for #Eclipse2017

[Robert M Jones @C1tizenJones]

@ShoshoneNF shout out to Rick and Trudy at the Wind River Station for giving us the best advice about camping in the area! #Eclipse
