@summerbrennan It gives a history of the woman and the family from which the HeLa cell line was taken without consent in the 1950s, on which many many discoveries of modern medicine are based. https://t.co/hoYRKYu5QO

@summerbrennan If anyone is looking for a recommendation here, the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot is terrific.

I quit regular Zoom meetings and logged off of Slack as a CEO. It has made all the difference.

Must be some data wrt mosquitoes in SEA?

Today I discovered python-box, a neat little package to make it much more convenient to implement dot notation access. https://t.co/WOThrAi9re (via https://t.co/CDSKo3ikLu)

This deserves more RTs. Dask has fundamentally changed how we can work with data in python. We regularly compute over 100s of millions of rows on an ordinary workstation- unthinkable ~5 years ago.

[Coiled @CoiledHQ]

Dask was originally developed to scale NumPy and pandas. As Matthew Rocklin says the #Python community quickly became interested in the Dask Engine and used it to build many more specialized tools. https://t.co/jm6WxCngLO

@SamurSciCop I am missing the context to this subtweet ;). Perhaps I'd be happier not knowing!

[Nick Harding @nick_harding]

I mean _excited_ obviously!

[Nick Harding @nick_harding]

Very exited about this :). Accurate simultaneous sequencing of genetic and epigenetic bases in DNA https://t.co/ryf6qMBsJX

@Sanjay_C_Nagi Thanks Sanjay- hope you're well!

[Nick Harding @nick_harding]

Awesome! congrats all

🎉😍 tskit 0.5.0 is live on PyPI and conda 😍🎉
This is a major release so it's time for a
new features thread. Thank you to all our contributors for their hard work on this release. 🧵https://t.co/YQCdve4EBf

Really? I mean (C) isn't a complex sentence but a simple edit on a super famous quote... though it doesn't appear on https://t.co/8zuoNJuPbo

[Nick Harding @nick_harding]

Starting using this recently. Very handy for those little classes where you don't know properties/methods. Way better than previous "workflow" of hitting dot-complete all the time.

[Will McGugan @willmcgugan]

I use rich.inspect pretty much every day. It is one of the most popular features of Rich

>>> from rich import inspect
>>> inspect(str, methods=True)

@jenmgshe @nanopore Congrats Jen!

@chadmccullough @Fastmail Have been using for > 8 years as my primary email. It's _ok_. Android app is poor, and won't work without data connection, ie no local cache/send later. If I was looking again I'd probably look elsewhere tbh. Spam protection not great / filtering clunky.

[Henry Owen @HuggyHenry]

Thanks @DannyYee for your review/reflections on the 'Quickways' proposals in Oxford (and @cycloxoxford for sharing). We're lucky to have you thinking carefully about this stuff! https://t.co/R9q6n3uBI5
