@svetlana_up @pam_ferretti @BacilluSubtilis @nsegata @LeviWaldron1 Thanks Svetlana! #MVIF looks like a great series. We will try for the session in May.

[sanders.science @sanders_lab]

Aspiring to be a PhD? Lots of potential at the MDC. Come join us in Berlin.

@ctitusbrown @nsegata Glad it's useful! Unfortunately not open access but freely readable here https://t.co/w8HU9gfarW

[EMBL @embl]

Do you use open data in your research?

Please take 15 minutes to fill in the @emblebi impact survey to help estimate the value of open data resources. Your input is very much appreciated! 🙏

@jakelever0 @GlasgowCS Congratulations Jake!! So well deserved :) looking forward to seeing the great work your lab will produce (and hopefully looking forward to seeing you in Glasgow!)

@TSBSchm @DanGraur What do you think, @LoreVanEspen?

[Thea Van Rossum @theavanrossum]

@TSBSchm @DanGraur Officially my "Van" is capitalised. Since moving to Europe I've noticed that it's unusual and wondered if this is 'wrong'. (maybe it became capitalised when my grandparents registered in Canada?) But I am case insensitive and I hope journal indexing is too

[VanBUG @VanBUG_]

Our next #VanBUG webinar, by @ZaminIqbal, on "Cryptic variation in the bacterial accessory genome", is coming up next Wednesday (Oct. 21st, 11~12:30 pm PST)! :)
Zoom link will be posted day of event. More details at https://t.co/zglS2KhMTt

#Bioinformatics

[Marie-Claire Arrieta @ArrietaLab]

We're looking for a postdoctoral microbial ecologist to study dynamics between microbial eukaryotes and bacteria in the human infant #microbiome.
Come join a multidisciplinary team of scientists in Calgary. Fully funded and can start remotely.

[Thea Van Rossum @theavanrossum]

@TheQuadram @ERC_Research @EarlhamInst @Falk_tw Congrats Falk!

[Thea Van Rossum @theavanrossum]

@s_wuyts You probably know this but adding it here in case it helps someone (it took me way too long to learn...) - you can set jobs to start automatically after the completion of another job (depend(ency) in slurm and qsub) 🤖🥂

[Thea Van Rossum @theavanrossum]

@tbyhdgs @thecarpentries Congratulations! Your excellence will be missed at embl but I'm looking forward to continuing to work with you through the carpentries :D

@luispedrocoelho "quotidian feeling of benign confusion" - this is lovely

[Tobias Wenzel 👨🏼‍💻👨🏼‍🔬🧫🔬⚙️ @MakerTobey]

Fantastic new paper https://t.co/gwZoh0T5RA from our lab @BorkLab @embl in @NatureRevMicro! Importance of "strain"s in #microbiome research🧫🧬. Here my favourite graph: While the core genome within SPECIES is similar >95%, the gene content between STRAINS often differs by 30%!

Day 1 of our intro to #rstats & #tidyverse course. @theavanrossum did a great job leading the session, well supported by @TheRealFloHu, @renato_alvs, @grimbough, @NDescostes, @JakobWirbel & Jean-Karim Hériché. 58 participants across 23 breakout rooms is working well so far 🤞
