A photo of astronaut Christina Koch from 2023. Text reads: She was the first to edit Wikipedia from space. In 2019, Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch made the edit during her mission aboard the International Space Station. Now, she's on her way home from the far side of the moon.

Did you know there is a Wikimedian in space? In 2019, Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch made the first-ever Wikipedia edit from space during her mission on the International Space Station. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

It’s not sad having enemies, what it’s sad is that those enemies used to be my friends.

UW graduate student deported through SEA as protesters demand answers A union representing University of Washington graduate student workers says Kennedy Orwa’s student visa was rescinded without explanation.

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.

King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

What proportion of the sunflower genome has an indel in at least one individual? Basically all of it -- there's almost no sequence (at least at the 100kb window scale) found in all sunflowers!

I wrote this back in 2019, it is already the second version, and it probably needs an update. I still think it covers very well how others can manage my depressions.*

*It is written for me so please be very cautious to apply this to others.

It’s here again, the time eater. 🙁

Project Hail Mary is a beautiful brilliant film. But molecular biologists be warned there's a deeply disturbing scene midway through when Ryan Gosling's scientist places two eppendorfs directly next to each other in an otherwise empty unbalanced microcentrifuge & sets it spinning with wild abandon.

does anyone have a great photo of a nest (+bird?) in the RAIN?

Back in 2023, members of my lab came together to write a review on recent applications of machine learning in biological research. I'm excited to share that the paper is now out in BMC Biology! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I deeply want to thank Larry Tesler and his team, who invented copy Ctrl+C, cut Ctrl+X, paste Ctrl+V, and cancel Ctrl+Z making ours bioinformatics life so much easier. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_T...

I don't think that the reviewers asking me for higher animal numbers really understand how many 40 goats are. Do you know the CHAOS that comes with dealing with 40 GOATS in an experimental setting!
Mice people cannot comprehend.
3 goats alone ate a tarp, a clock, and 2 expensive accelerometers!

I confess that what I enjoy less from reviewing papers is having to log in in each journal website… Do I have a user already? Did I create it or did the journal? What was the user name? Did I used my orcid to log in? Does this journal use web of science? 🙄

Por si acaso, La científicas somos todos los días ehhh!

Just in case, we are women scientists every day! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 👩🏻‍🔬🧑🏻‍🔬🤩

Feliz día a las niñas y las mujeres científicas. Es un gusto y un honor andar este camino con ustedes! Que podamos seguir en nuestra labor!

Happy girls and women scientists day! It’s an honor walking this path with you. 🤩👏🏽🤩👏🏽🤩👏🏽

Les esperamos este jueves a las 5:00pm. #COLEVOL
