Amazing to see the influx of new users here 🤩🧬🖥️🧪

I've gotten 100s of requests to be added to my bioinfo starter pack. If your recent ~20 posts are -- (1) bioinfo-relevant, (2) original, not just reposts, (3) snark/politics-free, (4) free from breakfast/bird photos -- ask again, I'd love to add you!

We have left X, as it has become incompatible with our Code of Conduct. Read more at open-bio.org/2023/11/20/l..., and please join us at any of the alternative sites suggested (including this one!). #OpenSource #bioinformatics #OpenScience 🧬🖥️

Awesome, it would be great if you can add us to your starter pack!

I don't have a Kia EV (yet), but I've been really impressed with their vehicles in general. I believe they have a plugin-hybrid Sportage.
