Font of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New Roman A cable from Marco Rubio reportedly said cutting Calibri from official communication would ‘abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program’

Whats their position on glasses?

I did the only responsible thing and rewatched season 4 first.

This assumes Santa has to obey the laws of Physics though. Flying reindeer suggest otherwise.

See you in the knockout stage ;)

I am not sure. There seems to be a Nature paper every week on certain aspects of somatic evolution.

Sophies World is a very nice introduction to the history of Philosophy suitable for 10 year olds.

If interested in physics, I loved the Elegant Universe by Brian Green when I was younger.

Took quite a while

Jacob Scott, a founding bioRxiv and medRxiv Affiliate with 73 preprints posted, loves the community of open science advocates around the preprint servers. Thanks to Affiliates like him, preprints are posted ~48 hours after submission.

Faculty Positions The Sloan Kettering Institute is seeking innovative scientists to join our faculty.

My institution---the Sloan Kettering Institute, the basic science arm of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center---is hiring new faculty this cycle! Applications close Nov 15.

Haha.

L'État, c'est moi

Congratulations @mattjones.bsky.social @katerinakraft and the entire team

Looking forward, I am launching my lab in the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social and IMES at @mit.edu, and will continue studying how the unique regulatory landscape of ecDNA enables tumor evolution. We're looking for creative scientists to push this frontier - if you're interested, get in touch!

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them." Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future. There will be universal high income."

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Tory MP criticised after demanding legally settled families be deported Katie Lam said move would make UK ‘culturally coherent’ and that a large number of people ‘need to go home’

Famously, the UK has a history of cultural coherence

Yes, a citizen approach to brain surgery!

Dont trust the experts, do your own research.

Also, don’t use any electronics, this quantum mechanics hoax just tries to move you to the radical left.

Can someone give him a lab practicum please. Maybe he understands then?

We are hiring a postdoc to profile the evolvability of tumors in longitudinal samples from three clinical trials as part of the ARPA-H ADAPT program. This is essentially an evolutionary bioinformatics position. If you are interested, please apply here ASAP apply.interfolio.com/172521

📢Exciting news! Cancer Discovery @aacrjournals.bsky.social is issuing another call for commentaries ahead of #AACR26! The meeting's theme is "Precision, Partnership, Purpose: Advancing Cancer Science to Save Lives Globally" - we want to hear YOUR ideas on how to achieve this goal. (1/2)

Professorship in plant genetics.
The Botanical Institute at Kiel University is advertising a W2 professorship. Great opportunity to do plant research in the north of Germany. See:
www.berufungen.uni-kiel.de/de/dateien/o...

Being a different topic, I strongly feel there must be changes how clinical trials are reported.

Wouldn’t it be in principal possible to live update ongoing trials weekly so that trends can be followed (with statistical interpretation)?

In physics, we often see intermediate reports of studies.

It might be useful to consider a policy to make both raw and processed data available, which is not always the case.

Especially in the times of large genomics, it at times might be a waste of energy and resources to reanalyse 100s of genomes on local university clusters.

The continued move to open science and data and code availability is great.

In cancer evolution, most publications now make data and code available, helping to speed up subsequent discoveries enourmesly.

Is Oslo still standing?

If Trump gets the Peace Noble today, he should aim for Literature next.

He clearly has all the best words.

Somatic mutation and selection at population scale - Nature A new version of nanorate DNA sequencing, with an error rate lower than five errors per billion base pairs and compatible with whole-exome and targeted capture, enables epidemiological-scale studies of somatic mutation and selection and the generation of high-resolution selection maps across coding and non-coding sites for many genes.

Our latest work is out in Nature today. In this paper, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hope they switch off the water sprinklers by then

The October issue of Cancer Discovery @aacrjournals.bsky.social is now online! The cover features two papers on the role of #ecDNA heterogeneity in tumor evolution and adaptation to therapy - you can find these papers and much more here: aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...
