After a half-hearted attempt at transitioning to 🦣 earlier this year, maybe now's the time to fully embrace it, given the current changes here...

I ❤️ Xmas: our family,from around the 🌎, comes 2gether. We've developed special traditions thru the years& 1 of my fav's is to DIY a ridiculously #extravagant #advent 🗓️ with a serial, family-themed story. This year I used some old Nature's- I think it turned out quite beautiful

[Uschi Symmons @usymmons]

@chrstn_e Yes, totally agree! Though I wonder, as things get cheaper/more automated whether single-cell may ultimately largely replace bulk seq, just as HTS has largely replaced qPCR.

@_taktas_ @AArgoetti In my experience they are also savvy abt looking at more than just the publications. E.g. what happens to lab alumni? Does the PI talk abt work of lab members? How "open" is the lab (tool/resource sharing)? How collaborative? A good website is an easy way to show such info

I feel like such a grumpy "things used to be better before" person when I look for recipes on the internet: you never just get the recipe anymore, first you have to scroll through the recipe's history, nutrient information, adaptations... 🧁👩🏻‍🍳🍪

A study found that using two spaces after a period improves reading speed, @jameshamblin reported in 2018—but there's more to reading than efficiency. https://t.co/ubriK2lMYV

@yoginho Oh, are you in Brussels?

[Uschi Symmons @usymmons]

Whoa: Bill & Melinda #GatesFoundation just updated their #OpenAccess policy and will no longer pay for #publishing fees, incl APCs. Really curious to see what impact this will have and if other funders will follow suit.

I don't usually post abt hotels, but had a really #unique experience staying in a 19th century tower. Absolutely ❤️ the owner's efforts to keep the ambience of the place, incl an original signature by a US soldier liberating the tower in 1945 #hiddenBelgium #OffTheBeatenPath
