Excited to see the results from the Genetic Engineering Attribution Challenge published today in @NatureComms! Congrats to the fantastic @altLabs_tech team and all the challenge participants! ๐ https://t.co/UntyAO5UJ2
We're looking for a promising technician to help us build the Nucleic Acid Observatory, a reliable early warning system for future pandemics (and more). Please share. https://t.co/yEkQljOSfi

@Aella_Girl Since Aella is popular in my circles, I just want to say that I 100% *loathe* required-dress-code parties. No better way to tell your introverted friends that you don't want to hang out with them than deliberately making socialising even more costly.
On round 4 of ping-ponging between my employer and insurer trying to get access to health insurance.
To be honest, after everything I'd heard, I'd be disappointed if my first encounter with US healthcare *wasn't* a Kafkaesque nightmare of some kind.
@CmSpare1 @trevorjtweets @calebwatney I see people say all the time that they think C is better for science but we should use F for everyday, but I think the economic & tech-progress costs of that disconnect are likely to massively outweigh any marginal gains from F as an everyday scale.
@CmSpare1 @trevorjtweets @calebwatney It seems pretty bad to create that kind of comms barrier between scientists/engineers and ordinary people unless really necessary โ which it isn't, we already know that C works perfectly well as an everyday scale.
@Xeynon@calebwatney See my other comments. The fact that Celsius goes negative for temps below freezing is a good thing, it makes the scale more informative.
As for the rest, I see a lot of claims like this but nobody ever offers any actual evidence โ striking given the use of "objectively".
Fun fact for Americans: traditionally, in Britain, "stocks" means "bonds".
Until I cashed it out to move here, I had a "Stocks & Shares ISA" (tax-exempt investment account) with Vanguard UK.
One unexpected minor cultural difference: US companies really really like security questions.
I've had to provide something like 4x the number of security Q answers in moving here than I'd expect in the UK.
@anderssandberg Yeah, for many years I avoided long games altogether in favour of well-contained story games, in part for this reason. (The other is that I find long games generally less fun-dense than short ones.)
