So, like short read data too (curse you, autocorrect!)

Your regular reminder that plant genomes are messy. Good luck getting your shortbread data to recapitulate this:

amusingly I don't even know what repo this is for -- a colleague sent this screenshot she had apparently taken at the time, bemused by my commit message.

Even if it were accurate it seems like “tech that keeps people alive” should be pretty far down the list of climate change targets. Below lots we all do for convenience or money.

No, nothing that sophisticated. I was just trying to reproduce Homer backing into the hedge.

Homer, as always, is my muse.

Among the most fundamental of these summary statisti...

Everyone knows the potato peels go first THEN the coffee. A few scoops of sand helps the sink digest it all too.

Pretty close, but you switched the one on the left and the middle. Don’t fret too much, the taxonomy is difficult.

Well this is a commit from 2018 so long past time for either option

Lots of things can be hidden in a corn field.

You're right! I was like 6 years ahead of my time!

Maize is easy. It’s so diverse, You could probably make a mammoth with six or seven generations of selection.

One of my finer commit messages

This is pretty brilliant. If we turn orchids into mammoths 1) we avoid lots of IRB issues with work on animals until the very end 2) we save on orchid food. We might have to edit a few more genes, but I'd say 30 or 40 oughta do it.

Argh. Autocorrect ruining my puns. Differences in masa not mass.

Obviously the bovine firewall weighs more, but once you acownt for differences in mass percentage corn is about zea same.

And, as in epistatic thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And pleiotropy as it came!

I'm asbestos and you're glue, your concerns bounce off me and stick to you.

I came to say the same thing, but you beat me to it you... cheesy leather, second-hand, electric donkey bottom biters!

As scientific director of HPC at UC Davis, I can say we spend a fair amount of time thinking about security. But today I learned it was all superfluous, as, after taking the mandated UC cybersecurity training, I discovered I am, in fact, a human firewall.

So sad when grad students get lost in the nursery.

Chromosome number diversity found in animals and plants. (a) The bulldog ant, Myrmecia pilosula, 2n = 4 (from Crosland & Crozier, 1986) (b) The lycaenid butterfly, Lysandra atlantica, 2n = ca. 440 (from de Lesse, 1970) (c) Brachycome dichromosomatica, 2n = 4) (d) Adder's tongue fern Ophioglossum reticulatum 2n = ca. 1440 (from Ninan, 1958). Scale bar = 10 μm.

Ferns would like a word.

I mean there was that one time he wore a tan suit. That's gotta count for something right? Make all this worthwhile?

No but good suggestion!

Todays car ride attempt to introduce kids to new music: Caifanes, Stiff Little Fingers, and Oingo Boingo

I got them back! Facilities crew are wonderful.

Yeah not lucky here. Got my keys back fortunately but several weeks ago lost my wedding ring. Spent the evening going through all the trash in three men’s rooms with no luck.
