Scientific drawing is an important skill that used to be an integral part of a scientists training 📝
I use vectors for my drawings- here are 5 reasons why they are awesome (1/6 🧵)
I recently realized a lot of trainees don't really know the format of a compelling research presentation. I compiled a template that people can download on my lab website! A 🧵 to explain each component... 1. start with a nice title slide. https://t.co/wZ2wzjNFJJ
I developed this application Assembly Stats Viewer to query the NCBI assembly database and allow users to compare stats.
I've found it useful for:
- Finding out if a species has a reference genome
- Comparing basic stats of assemblies

For all people who struggle with academic writing, Loisa Lagisz and I share our experiences and secrets, which helped 50+ students publish their first papers. Please share with your colleagues!

really interesting convergent phenotypic evolution paper focusing on the evolution of kidney sizes and supraorbital salt glands of birds 🧬https://t.co/iWzgmXl93R
In collaboration with ZhishengZhang (SWU) & MingBai (IOZ-CAS), we've unraveled the genomic basis of underwater adaptation in the aquatic spider, Argyroneta aquatica, facilitated by relaxed selection, rapid evolution & horizontal gene transfer (HGT). 🕷️https://t.co/svI3TCJ4FX
I built AssemblyStatsViewer to quickly compare genome assemblies via a user-friendly UI...
Found another use for it today – finding out if new assemblies have been published for certain taxa! E.g. coralline red algae 🪸

In two independent Science studies, researchers used time-resolved crystallography at an x-ray free electron laser to capture the process of #DNA repair from picoseconds to microseconds.

Spiders are often found victims of fascinating fungi exhibiting exuberant appearance and intriguing biology. This one seems to have turned its host into a birthday cake with candles!

Spread the word! Free Software new version is now out: TreeViewer version 2.2.0! #Phylogenetics Plot multiple age distributions, spreadsheet editor, lots of examples and more! Download from https://t.co/DFDfN9lcwy
After 2 rejections & 4 rounds of review (all by the same journal), our first GPN paper is finally published: https://t.co/UePghVpL2p
We feel jaded, but it was worth the effort and we are grateful to the reviewers for their time & helpful feedback.
Some lessons learned:
