Today, I tested an LLM for research, and the first reference it provided was my first paper that I'd written on my own. I couldn't stop smiling for a bit. Alright, the chat was a little biased because of the topic, but never mind! #venomics #ants 🐜 😎
Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.
Wir haben heute die Wolken über NRW je nach Impfbedürfnis der Leute darunter appliziert.

Anyway. Wear sun protection, everyone. Especially if you’re an outdoorsy person like me. It’ll save you a lot of trouble.
As a #bioinformatician, you just smile knowingly when users tell you about their first time they encountered such issues in Excel. #bioinformatics
Klamotten: Ich orientiere mich fürs Pendeln mit dem nicht-Rennrad an dieser Übersicht. Fahrradklamotten lohnen sich!

I once had this situation where I was looking at a figure and got a bit annoyed that they used our color scheme. Then I realized they just used Wong (2011) colors, like I try to use for our figures. #bioinformatics #colorblind #thoughtful

Ant folks 🐜🐜🐜, we are looking for colonies of Linepithema iniquum in Europe. They were reported from the Wales Botanic Garden a few years ago. Are you aware of any other indoor populations?
& wann erklären Gyns allen Frauen endlich konsequent, dass die monatliche Abbruchblutung keinerlei medizinischen Nutzen hat? Wär auch schön, wenn Pillenhersteller dann auf die teuren Placebos in jeder Packung verzichten könnten und das liefern, wofür man mitunter viel Geld zahlt. #Frauengesundheit
🐍 For all ye #snakemake users out there who want consistent, opinionated formatting of their workflows: we have just released v1.0.0 of snakefmt 🥳
The major update is that it now sorts rule directives (e.g., input, output, resources, params, shell etc.).
See github.com/snakemake/sn... for more
'Note: if the problem persists, restart your computer first!'
Who can guess which operating system we use at work?

Das Ding bei #IchBinHanna ist, dass die Mehrheit meiner nichtwissenschaftlichen Umgebung die damit verbundenen Sorgen und Probleme nicht kennt.
„Nein, Gudrun, ich habe noch keine Verlängerung bekommen und werde auch erst kurz vor Vertragsende eine bekommen – wenn überhaupt. Ja, das ist normal." 🖤
We still get snail mail. One of the postmen reads the recipient's name out loud to himself before putting it in the letterbox. That's useful – I can hear him from my desk, so if he doesn't mention our name, we know we don't have any mail. I'm off to get my letter now! #SmallThings ✉️♥️📮👍
I've already learned something while skimming through it.

Gibt es hier Personen, die momentan an der Uni Marburg lehren und Zeit für ein kurzes Gespräch hätten? #followerpower
Doing a PhD doesn’t mean you have to work in academia
Ich hätte nicht anfangen sollen, es zu lesen... 🖤 #IchBinHanna

It's great to see our next vemomics paper out there! This time, our PhD student Ludwig milked hundreds of mosquitoes and examined their venom (yes, he milked them!). Check out how he did it and what we found in their venom. Great work! 🦟☠️👍 www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Portrait of a giant forest ant (Dinomyrmex gigas). What an absolute puppy! 🐜 🐶 🐜 Danum Valley, Sabah.
It's that time of the year again!
I'm sure some of you will have experienced this too: starting to analyse the same data over and over again from scratch because something "more important" has come up. It's a bit frustrating, also how sloppy I documented my work. #ant #genome #bioinformatics 🐜🧬💻📝
Heard the first #blackbird singing this year – can't wait for #spring! :) 🖤🐦⛅🐝
Gestern hab ich bekannt gegeben, dass ich spätestens 2028 aus der Wissenschaft aussteigen werd — darüber schreibt @evamurasov.bsky.social nun im @tagesspiegel.de. Zig Kommentare & Nachrichten zeigen mir: Sehr viele Wissenschaftler_innen hadern. Bedingungen müssen dringend besser werden! #IchBinHanna
Tables in publications are often the worst. Even worse is when cells are merged and data is formatted with lines, fonts, and next to each other, as this is only for visualizing data, not for data use. I hate them. If you're using XLSX files as a supplement, give them a useful format!
Our second PhD just had his first paper published. His topic is about Hermetia frass, which is the poop and remains from the larvae breed. He focused on how the feed influences the frass and how prescribed hygenization influences the viable microbial community. Great job, Daniel!
