🦧📉 Why are there colorful apes in my #dataviz workshops?

📸 The photo taken years ago by my friend Richard Strozynski has become a tradition in my client projects and courses.

I like to recolor it with different palettes to show how palette design affects perception.

ABACBS/BioC Asia 2025 Workshops are coming! @ Adelaide 27-28 November.

Join us in November for two days of deep-dive sessions on scalable bioinformatics, spatial omics, AI-driven genomics, and more

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link)

🚨New Review Out🚨
We explore how phage-antibiotic synergy can dismantle efflux-driven resistance in multidrug-resistant ESKAPEE pathogens. By reprogramming bacterial defences, phages offer a precision strategy to restore antibiotic efficacy.

🚨 New preprint 🚨

My phage annotation tool, Phynteny, finally has a preprint and a brand new version powered by a cool AI transformer architecture and protein language models! #phagesky

PhD opportunities at @flindersuniversity.bsky.social in Adelaide, Australia's most liveable city, to study genetics in #phage

We will also have genetics #postdoc positions too!
