It took forever but my last paper as an academic is finally out. ironically this paper probably has the smallest audience, but I believe is my most impactful work. I think it provides some nice support for theories on polyploid origins, and has practical implications in crops and conservation
Delighted to see our work on the cover of Systematic Biology!! We introduce an approach for analyzing pairwise-defined traits (e.g. 'strength of RI', 'diet niche overlap') in a phylogenetically informed context (R package 'phylopairs' now on CRAN). Read it here: academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic...

not sure if this is the weird you're going for but Silent Night Deadly Night 4 rocked my ass off when I saw it last year. And if you're wondering yes it is the best of the series
Honestly not hard to envision generative AI as an existential threat because of this outside of the major players going under prior to their general use becoming cost-effective
Damn that's crazy thank god we stopped inventing new classes of intoxicants that ravage communities
This Brazilian frog might be the first pollinating amphibian known to science Nectar-loving tree frog likely moves pollen from flower to flower

In a working democratic system the idea that not voting for party members based on a policy would not influence party policy would sound insane.

I think maybe the entire concept of "alignment" is perhaps inadequate to plant genomes.
This isn't shortread data, but alignments of genome assemblies with N50 > 100Mb. The plot is the # of bp per 100Kb window that are dropped because of missing data -- because those bp physically are not there in one of the other 25 genomes. This is what normal plant genomes look like, folks.
Depends on the city (so not sure about NYC) but yes the police chief in many cities is appointed and regulated by the mayor

Strangest iteration of this was after days of troubleshooting we noticed searching the accession name in the text became unhighlighted when we got to 'a'. Turns out the samples were uploaded from China & some Chinese alphanumeric keyboards encode a as the greek alpha when typing english characters
Pint jar filled with blue dry beans.
A few years ago, through luck and vibes, I managed to produce this blue colored bean variety.
This was an early step in trying to answer the question, [paraphrased] "Why isn't blue as common as red in beans, even though they're both anthocyanins and the plant has the genes for both?"
Genuinely enragjng to see this moron whose never once thought about what it's like to be in community judge people who are trying to build a better less selfish and individualistic world because its not good politics or whatever. Fix your heart.
Yeah man when our town was flooded & elderly or disabled people were stuck in their home an instantantly activated mutual aid group getting them out into hotels and shelters so they didn't get sick from mold and their lifelong belongings into storage was definitely not effective. Shut the fuck up.
Wow, not sure how I didn't put together Colin with the Pruitt scandal up until now. What a worthless little skeez
To be fair they're generally not better than a coin flip at determining long-term success so this is just moving us into a lottery system
