I bang on my keyboard all day long, hoping some biology will fall out.

@West_Seneca fyi, some damage at the Centennial Park playground that could cause injury.

If anyone is on the fence about getting an organizational licence to any of the JetBrains tools (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.), they are bribing me to offer you a 20% discount.

Here's the code: FWKLL-RP4EN-2BZLD-5UJCC-HZ5SD

And the instructions: https://t.co/bGKw3Ns3g8

@polarfire I need to go find a public place to watch the next game, where there might be other Chiefs fans. Was just me and my wife, and she couldn't care less!

It's a bit ironic that through nearly 20 years of research, I'm coauthor on my first Nature family paper five months after leaving academia.

I just had a "I'm not living in Canada anymore and am missing important developments because of it" moment while connecting at Pearson airport... @TimHortons discontinued swiss cheese last year; my heart breaks a little bit today.
I know, I know... #FirstWorldProblems

@David_McGaughey Okay... Ya, you're probably hooped...

[Steve Bond @StephenRBond]

@David_McGaughey Dude, there are recovery programs. The data is probably still there, just turn off the computer and boot up a Linux live disc.

Sit'n here on a Friday night as the clock ticks down to zero on my job, watch'n the C-SPAN, check'n the CNN, and BAM! Official statement by the press secretary: "[Shutting down the government] is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators".
You know, keep'n it classy.

@stephspiel @overleaf @OfficialSMBE I hacked the 'official' one a little bit for #BuddySuite and was pleased enough with the result to use it, with only a little further tweeking of the PDF, for bioRxiv. Submission was fine directly from tex/cls/bib files.

JC Van Wert: Micromanipulator surgically implanted into toadfish allows lateral line activity to be measured directly, revealing the detection of vibrations while swimming.

Caroline Judy: Very strange, stable, hybrid zone in Jamaica, separating two populations of Streamertail Hummingbird. Apparent reproductive isolation between populations, despite low genomic divergence and no obvious geographical barrier. #sicb2018

[Steve Bond @StephenRBond]

JC Havird: Silene (type of plant) is a model of mitochondria/nuclear co-evolution. Close comparison of hybrids from closely related species do NOT show reduced fitness, despite theory telling us they should.

@MikeTassia Yes! Let's get those TLRs classified.

Jordi Paps: Used taxa-aware Markov Clustering to improve phylostratification, in search of genetic novelty given taxonomic occupancy of homologs. Identified 25 essential animal homology groups (including Wnts, TGF-βs, and homeoboxes).

Joe Ryan: In an effort to end the cteno-first vs. sponge-first game of pong currently ongoing, launching a 'phylotocol' paradigm. Release experimental plan beforehand, and hold yourself to the results (i.e., try to reduce confirmation bias)

James Townsend: Pulling out some old-school biochem approaches to analyze the incredibly sticky substance in ctenophore colloblasts. Amazing biomaterial, 'probably' composed of a catachol compound like DOPA.

If you are giving a talk at #SICB2018, remember that slides are going to be displayed at widescreen 16:9, not 4:3. Check your slides!

That's too bad. Saw your name in the program index and assumed you'd be here. I'm not sure if I'll make it to Evolution this year because I'm wrapping up at the NIH in June. https://t.co/0ODnZr27dp
