  1. @GeneticsSociety you really need to stop getting hacked. Strong password perhaps?
  2. Has Illumina (temporarily?) stopped shipping paired end modules?
  3. I wonder how many times they are going to discover that FOXP2 is the key to human speech.
  4. RT @dgmacarthur: This excerpt from @RebeccaSkloot's new book is a useful reminder about lay understanding of genetics: http://bit.ly/2ml0zW
  5. @girlscientist a ream of editors, clearly.
  6. Not cerevisiae http://brizzly.com/pic/A0S
  7. Very nice discussion of contingency in evolution by Joe Thornton, and how Behe continues to be an idiot. http://j.mp/2SJPy
  8. @phylogenomics I just saw "surfaceome" in a title. I'm having a hard time deciding if it is worse than "ionome".
  9. He lists among challenges: causation, clinical relevance. No kidding.
  10. Interesting talk on microbiota of bodies by D. Relman. Mostly ecology, which he is clearly new to. The field is still mostly potential.
  11. @girlscientist Unfortunately, we seem to be losing that battle. http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutgrammar/data
  12. @richmeisel export to what? pdf? if you already have the plot in a window, just make sure the window is frontmost and save.
  13. This should be good for some controversy: New chimp-human ancestor?http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2009/1001/1
  14. Bill Maher may claim to like science, but not so much when it disagrees with his crazy. http://bit.ly/2EkYHL
  15. @girlscientist For future reference, that is a study I do not believe. But it is a depressing stat.
  16. @rantalainen Thanks for the tip! It does look great.
  17. The Speed of God : Uncertain Principles - http://shar.es/1HQ3Q
  18. Film about darwin w/ P. Bettany can't find a US distributor bc evolution is too controversial. Sadness. http://bit.ly/ZMiwQ
  19. More big journal news: Genetics to go online only! I missed the old format with the TOC on the cover, but no nostalgia for current edition.
  20. Call your academy members! 10 months to get your crap papers in! PNAS gets rid of Track I in July. http://is.gd/37dBK (ht @girlscientist)
