April 14, 2003: scientists mapped every gene in the human body. A private company tried to sell the data. The public raced them and gave it away free. They expected 100,000 genes. We have 20,000. Happy 23rd, HGP. 🧬 #HumanGenomeProject #OpenScience

I am as close as the gap between the buns that pretend to be "a delicious breakfast toast" is tiny, which is to say, maybe it's not quite a stroke yet but

Metronomy - The Bay (Official Video) YouTube video by Metronomy

An anthem for feeling sad that I am probably not going to San Francisco before I leave my job on the East Coast (I know it's the British bay in the song, I used to listen to Metronomy when I was still British-adjacent) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PnO...

As a person who speaks Polish, I fully thought my brain had a glitch-eroo

P: [Our friends] got their marriage officiated by Judith Butler. Do we need a theorist?
Me, coding: Do any of our friends have contact details of Jack Halberstam?
P: Forget Halberstam. Does @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social officiate?

Close up with a beautiful nudibranch on a rocky reef. The lower half of the image is a palette of swatches made from the nudi's vibrant colours.

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs.

But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅

First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti.

in my opinion there should also be trans day of audibility where everybody spends all day posting dope experimental music by trans women for me to listen to

Why do schizophrenia GWAS signals look so flat across the genome?

In our recent preprint, we explored why psychiatric disorders — and, more broadly, brain-related traits involving the central nervous system — appear to have unusual genetic architectures.

Long COVID leaves thousands of L.A. county residents sick, broke and ignored Six years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, doctors are still treating long COVID patients with complex symptoms and unknown futures.

“You’re not just becoming disabled,” said Elle Seibert, 31, who has dealt with debilitating fatigue and cardiac symptoms since 2020. “You’re realizing how easily society at large and people in your life will abandon you when you cannot offer them things.” www.latimes.com/science/stor...

I can't help but wonder if this is also exacerbated by a tradition of western philosophy that seems bent on denying this interiority or analytically redefining it away

Wildflowers, a couple of springs ago, in the churchyard in Buckfastleigh, Devon. This is actually a very spooky spot in winter as it's the resting place of the allegedly Satanic Squire Richard Cabell - inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's Baskerville legend - whose corpse is boxed in by a somewhat incongruous structure, a little pagoda-ish, but also not unlike the kind of public toilet you might find in a small British town, which sits on the south side of the church. Do NOT walk around it backwards as the Devil will bite your fingers and Cabell will release his hell hounds. Also, the church has been burned down by Satanists not once but TWICE in the last couple of centuries. (I wrote about all this in more detail in my book 21st-Century Yokel, and a couple of the scarier gravestones inspired bits in my novel Villager.

Wildflowers love dead people.
