Excellent. Spent an hour today doing something that would have taken 10 minutes on @veupathdb . Let’s hope a model for sustainable, long-term support of this amazing resource can be established.

Dear @Zoom - if you already know I am the host of prescheduled Zoom call, and there is a required security patch before I can join the call, why can't you tell me before hand ?!

[Boris Striepen @striepenlab]

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

Last day of Arthropod Genomics Symposium - the wonderful Joachim Nwezeobi is starting us off with insecticide resistance genomics but also sharing his journey from there to cancer research bioinformatics.

First talk of second day of Arthropod Genomics Symposium 🧬. Thanks @biocentis for kicking things off.

Super excited for the program today.
