We just got a physical proofs back from @bicyclecards.bsky.social. We should have TXGEN DNA playing card decks in a few weeks! Email us if you'd like a deck at TxGen@ag.tamu.edu, still working on logistics.
Thanks for all the help from @agrilife.bsky.social marketing for their design support.

Got a new office phone! 😂 not really this old phone hooks to a bluetooth hud that let’s me use this old phone with my cell phone. A dial tone and everything!

I am sure it's not a shock to long time pros in bioinformatics like @nilshomer.com and his team. But it always shocks me how CS and IT folks minimize the difficulties in working in Bioinformatics. The whole I know computing, therefore I am an expert in all computer related activity is silly.

Dear sales reps: please DM/email me out of the blue, ask for a “quick 30-min call,” then drop a link to your calendar for me to pick a time… congrats, 3:3 of things I hate, you just sold me on ignoring you forever.

Whoop! Look who I ran into at @TAMU
core lab open house. If you need help with plant transformation email Marco Molina at marco.molina@tamu.edu and he can take care of your transformation needs. He also takes projects outside TAMU.
