@Alexbateman1 It really is remarkably good at plausible nonsense (although the date here was a bit of a giveaway)

@darcyamurphy Maybe the top of the tree died? Lots of trees died because of the draught in the summer, maybe this one partially died.

@darcyamurphy @TheIET Congratulations darcy, very well deserved!

I helped organise the 2016 edition of this, where does the time go?!

[Matt Jeffryes @mattjeffryes]

Excited to say that from next week I’ll be returning to EBI as an ARISE fellow. I’ll be developing tools to assist biocuration in collaboration with the Literature Services and IntAct teams advised by @jomcentyre and @hhermjakob. Looking forward to meeting old and new colleagues!

@emmy_ft @InvestInOpen Congratulations!

[Paul Sax @PaulSaxMD]

The "History of HIV" talk I gave last week actually has this title, which I don't think is an overstatement. Posting it now with gratitude, just in time for Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday -- the gratitude and family part).

Google Scholar has parsed this cafeteria lunch menu as an author list, and it's delightful

[Helen Ward @profhelenward]

It’s very sad that so many people have died, and so many more are desperately ill because politicians refused to listen to advice.
We said lockdown earlier, we said test, trace, isolate. But they decided they knew better.
There will be a reckoning, and it will not be forgiving.

I am sorry to confirm the passing of my colleague John Conway. An incomparable mathematician, a pleasant neighbor, and an excellent coffee acquaintance.

His passing was sudden (fever started only Wednesday morning). Part of coronavirus's hard toll in New Jersey.

EU health ministers have a daily conference call. Swizerland is joining them but not the UK.

[Matt Jeffryes @mattjeffryes]

@yoyehudi I've not read anything about the risk for asthmatics. There is only some generic health advice that asthma may make you high risk, but not any evidence that I've seen. I'd also like to know what the answer is.
