This isn't what it looks like! Parent flamingos produce red crop milk in their digestive tracts and regurgitate it to feed their young 🦩

Mean coverage of contigs can tell you a lot, but do you know what's going on with individual contigs in your metagenomic data? One way to visualize this is w/ #anvio's `anvi-script-visualize-split-coverages`. Check out this post by me and @TenderIsTheByte https://t.co/rMy90tbbKs

It's #TrilobiteTuesday again, so here's a Walliserops on display at the @hmns. It's not clear what that crazy trident on its head was for, but some think it was like the horn of a rhinoceros beetle, which is used for fighting and digging among males. Devonian, Morocco.

A ciliate slurping a Cyanobacterial filament like a strand of spaghetti. Sounds by @raminrahni.

@Prof_P_Getty If T. rex was still a teenager halfway through its expected lifespan, does that make it a late bloomer?

@FlorianTrigodet Have you been to this passage tomb? I've been to Newgrange and Knowth in Ireland, marvels of the ancient world.

Today is #WinterSolstice the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. At winter solstice, the sun shines down this 5,000 year old passage and hits the back wall. The Neolithic chambered mound lies about 500m off the Brittany coast, on the small island of Gavr'inis.

I've got a little new tool to share: Minipolish

It does Racon-polishing on a miniasm long-read assembly. Why not just use Racon directly? For a few reasons...

Key findings: (1) Archaea generate approx. 10X more protein per RNA molecule than Bacteria. (2) The relationship between RNA/protein levels is dynamic and changes depending on life stage and phenotype of the organism. (3) evidence points towards post-transciptional regulation.

The new exhibition at @azsciencecenter is open! Meet #VictoriaTheTrex. I'm proud to have contributed to the immersive exhibition created by @IMG! I reconstructed the internal anatomy of @DinoLab_Inc's 🦖 based on which #AnimismStudios and @NGXinteractive created their animations.

Eigenvectors can be calculated from eigenvalues of a matrix?! This seems like a revolutionary discovery -- particularly for computer science -- and I can't believe that it took so long to come to light.
