Humbled to have worked at ⁦@jgi⁩. Thank you ⁦@NigelJMouncey⁩, ⁦@HOtani_JGI⁩, ⁦⁦@danudwary⁩, and ⁦@dtdoering⁩ for making this publication a reality. This review means a lot to me because it is my first publication as a mom. https://t.co/TF3Vk62994

Genomics & bioinformatics folks:

Why do ampersands (&) need to be escaped in GFF3 attributes? What is their "reserved meaning" as stated in the specification?

Interested to compare this with the @usejbrowse embedded components!

@ZacSwider On a serious note, great! I use it for everything except activating an environment and it’s super fast and slick 👍

Sometimes I forget to use it and am reminded when I see the “solving environment…” text for more than a couple minutes lol

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

Poor sleep quality.

Ever since switching from conda to mamba, I can no longer use my laptop as a white noise machine and personal heater at night, so every little noise wakes me up and reminds me that I’m too cold.

What is the most common issue you have when coding with Python? 🤔🐍

[Sylvia Kunakom @SylviaKunakom]

I will be starting my scientist career in the Boston-area and will be transitioning from my postdoc appointment. The Secondary Metabolites Group at JGI is looking for a talented postdoc. If you love secondary metabolite research, please consider. Please help spread the word!

@jlsteenwyk Great read, Jacob! Good reminder to focus on "sound systems" rather than "results". If only PhDs were awarded based on this instead! Sucks how very biased towards "get results" many training environments are, + how this limits incentives/opportunities for developing good systems.

🔔GREAT JOB ALERT🔔

Gina’s wonderful mentorship and excitement about science was perhaps THE main thing that made me want to do research as a profession when I was a wee undergrad. I literally wouldn’t be doing what I am today if not for her + the @uwcurrielab. HIGHLY recommend!

[Gina Lewin @Gina_Lewin]

The Lewin lab is hiring!

Looking for a research assistant to dive in to some really exciting science and help get the lab off the ground!

@ChasingMicrobes My favorite was a “pregnancy-related protein” 🤔🤔🤔

My favorite video on the internet rn

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

Any folks at @SIMB_Microbio who aren’t already in a talk — come to Seacliff A to hear my @jgi colleague Sylvia Kunakom talk about genome mining for RiPP BGC rSAMs!!

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

@danudwary 👏

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

@EvoDivMet Perhaps next time we should ask for a “secondary” laptop in case the first fails.

Oops, sorry — a “specialized” laptop 😇

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

After some tech difficulties, next up is @EvoDivMet telling us about “Evolutionary genome mining for natural products to unveil ‘biosynthetic dark matter’”!

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

Next up is Jie Hu from @corteva to tell us about “An Integrated and Information-driven Approach to Natural Products Discovery in Agriculture”!

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

Next up is Julia Maritz from @Merck to tell us about “Understanding Human Microbiome Functionality, Immune Interactions, and Biomarker Potential Through Deep Learning”!

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

Very nice talk, @alliesw1! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for your lab’s future work!

[Drew T. Doering, PhD @dtdoering]

First up after the coffee break, it’s @alliesw1 telling us about “Machine learning strategies for natural product discovery and biosynthesis”!
