Thanks @MarkDiekhans for your help, especially for the conversation about the IGH locus. I'm half trying not to be intrigued, half already fallen. @MarkDiekhans said something like "We're always going to have failures when we try to put biology in a box." True!

I'm in gene name hell, trying to combine lists of genes from multiple sources to use as a filter. It's a survey of human frailty, and I'm trying to limit my own contributions. I'm happy that SEPT5 is now SEPTIN5, and I can track that change. But I'm not even sure "WTR1" is a gene

[Holly Beale #BlackLivesMatter @hollybeale]

What about why "STL" is "RNF217-AS1"? The obsessive part of me wants to be able to confirm each source and the evolution of each name in detail. But I've got hundreds of genes, so I need to limit myself to doing well enough, instead of writing a new manuscript.

Stop showcasing non white people on your website without asking to signal your fake commitment to diversity. It’s happened to me and just now to a friend. What’s wrong with you

RIP Minnie Bruce Pratt
1946-2023
A giant of our movement: white anti-racist lesbian poet, organizer and educator.
Crimes Against Nature, about losing custody of her sons, was one of the first books explicitly about lesbian life and struggle to be recognized by the establishment.

[Holly Beale #BlackLivesMatter @hollybeale]

Minnie Bruce Pratt was a star in my firmament. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. She taught me so much, right now I’m thinking of her brilliant insights into the insidiousness of white privilege.

Today we’re proud to launch our fifth Ben Barres Spotlight Awards 🎉

One thing I've noticed: chalk forces you to cover way less material. That's a good thing! PPT enables you to cover WAY more material than anyone can usefully absorb. PPT is the presentation that makes you feel smart, not your audience :).
