“A” mistake?

Advantages and disadvantages to have an office in central London.

Disadvantage: The office is too small to fit a couch.

I neither know, what could have triggered this, nor am I sure what they think an academics income is.

A recipe for chaos: Extrachromosomal DNA and the hallmarks of cancer When oncogenic genetic elements untether from chromosomes and no longer follow Mendelian inheritance, genomic chaos and accelerated evolution ensues. In this review, Wong et al. discuss the mechanisti...

Published today in the Special Issue of Cell to mark this 25th anniversary, it is my honor to contribute in a review article to discuss how ecDNA could contribute to the established Cancer Hallmarks, especially its role in genome instability and mutation: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

He has tenure

Very similar results had been obtained by Cernan, Harrison and Schmitt in 1972. The advances here seem minimal and the novelty of the work remains unclear. The study would be more appropriate for a more specialised journal.

Haha good point!

Game theory tends to assume rational actors.

Is there work on optimal strategies among idiots?

At this point it’s inconceivable that Trump actually finishes his term.

Just curious what will break the camel’s back.

Does this also work on male politicians?

Can you use 'invite' as a noun? People have been sending invites since the early 1600s

If you work on quantitative cancer genomics, please consider submitting an abstract for our next "Cancer Population Genetics Club" #CANPOP meeting hosted @icr.ac.uk on 15 June 2026.

CANPOP is free to attend. Registration & abstract submission here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Past and present UK governments adding interest on student loans is indefensible, is against the interest of the country and can only made sense of in keeping with the privilege of a small minority.

The equivalent of only one more control experiment.

Court of appeal says it cannot rule on which identical twin fathered a child One twin wanted to take parental responsibility from the other for child P after both had sex with child’s mother

Hm the they consulted geneticists?

A complete set of canonical nucleobases in the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu - Nature Astronomy Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu contain all five canonical nucleobases (A, G, C, T and U). Their presence in Ryugu and Bennu supports the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids contributed to the prebiotic chemical inventory of early Earth.

Trump wasn’t aware of the complexities is a statement probably universally true.

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell

I'm thrilled to start my first bluesky post by highlighting the review paper Hyerim and I have been working really hard together - published just yesterday on Nature Reviews Drug Discovery. In this review, we outlined the latest ecDNA biology and corresponding therapeutic vulnerabilities [1/2] -

The marine conservation group @hifmb.de is looking for a postdoc and a Phd student to study coral genomics and conservation genetics. Join us to develop solutions for coral conservation and dive into the world of early branching metazoans: Deadlines coming up fast. jobs.awi.de/Vacancies/21...

How many more to go?

Beyond stupid is a good summary of current affairs

Approximately 1.7% of the US population demonstrated at No Kings.

Or in other words, 98.3% did not demonstrate.

Make of it what you want.
