@metrogpt Any word on how long this will last? I was scolded by a driver yesterday for using one of the alternative stops and told that Monument Square was my best bet, but that is pretty far to walk twice a day...

I'm extremely happy to share a publication today in BMC Bioinformatics. This work was a project I worked on with @huangyifeicmb when began at Penn State. We detail DeepLOF, our unsupervised deep learning model to predict loss-of-function-intolerant genes🧵 https://t.co/N8VWhL9dwD

Well, now that @Spotify cancelled @how2saveaplanet I guess I have no more reason to keep my Spotify account. What are some solutions-focused climate podcasts? And some good music-streaming alternatives? I've got a deficit.

Today we’re releasing the F-List 2022: a list of 230+ ad and PR agencies helping fossil fuel companies greenwash, mislead, and obstruct climate action.

If you work in our industry, you deserve to know the facts about the agencies working for polluters. A🧵https://t.co/hJTJdhItMj

@ClaricePerryman I'm not convinced it's actually that serious. I sent mine off for "checking" and got a response about 20 minutes later. There's no way anyone looked at all those pages.

@KyleTheDavid Easy. Just write "Dear new postdoc folks," at the top of the certificate, and "Sincerely, Auburn" at the bottom. Envelope optional.

[Kyle T. David 🍄 @KyleTheDavid]

Thanks so much to all the organizers and presenters for making #Evol2022 the best return to in person meeting I could have asked for!

My husband was exasperated listening to the latest @how2saveaplanet episode: "Why didn't this guy just go on iFixit?"

30 seconds later he realized the interview was with the *co-founder* of iFixit 😂

Thanks @kwiens for countless successful repairs over the years! #righttorepair

@FossilDetective I wanted to be a professor for most of my life, but in the last couple years of my PhD, I realized that I would rather be fairly compensated for my time and work, and that good mental health is common outside academia. I keep getting confirmation that I'm making the right choice.

[Dr. Jennifer Spillane @jen_spillane]

@jpshenk Whatever I know what I saw.

[Dr. Jennifer Spillane @jen_spillane]

What an absolute professional.

It's a BOOMING exciting time and I couldn't be happier to announce that the first kākāpō chick of the year has arrived. Welcome Pearl-A-1-2022 🐣💚

The new arrival means my family has expanded with 202 kākāpō now in existence.

Today's poem is Danez Smith's "I'm Going Back to Minnesota Where Sadness Makes Sense."

[Dr. Jennifer Spillane @jen_spillane]

Yes, but after the badger dug up the coins, did she also find something to eat? What a cliffhanger. #weaseltime https://t.co/MRDVypsY6P

[Dr. Jennifer Spillane @jen_spillane]

I think that everyone has seriously underestimated the amount of updates I need on the current kakapo breeding season (last update I've found was on Dec 27). @Spokesbird, what is the latest?! 🦜❤️🦜

[The Nature Conservancy in Maine @TNCmaine]

We need your voice! An important vote is expected in Congress as soon as Monday on a bipartisan infrastructure bill. Ask your representatives to vote YES on the bill to support funding for clean energy and nature-based solutions while creating jobs! https://t.co/1fVxy62ifn

[SI Data Science @SIDataScience]

In collaboration with @ngadc, we are looking for a graduate or postdoctoral fellow to lead a project in the Analysis of High-Resolution Art Imagery using computational tools. Please spread the word! More details here: https://t.co/iHVGFp4brH

Me in April: Hmm, I know I should clean out my HPC account, but what if I end up needing some of it later? I better keep this file from 2017, just to be safe.
