The UCSC Genome Browser turns 25 today. Thank you all who developed it and continue to maintain it. It is an invaluable tool to the community - and this a good article to highlight that. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Genetics aside (a few edits does not a species make), species also interact with their kin and environment. These pups have no relatives to impart dire wolf behaviours, and will never interact with their natural habitat that is North America 100,000 years ago. They were red & more dog than wolf!

How far away does your past self feel to you? How about your future self? Maybe your past feels like a solid person, and your future is a stranger. Does this affect how you plan for the future? Really interesting article by Knowable (@knowablemag.bsky.social), a publication I recommend to all.
It’s what psychologists call self-continuity, and can improve your health and well-being.

Yesterday I attended @smclondon.bsky.social's 'Introduction to the News Media'. The best part was the journalists' panel I thought. 400 emails a day? 4 hours to write an article? And they want more scientists reaching out to them! This is how good & accurate science can get communicated 🤝

Had a great time at my first Festival of Genomics. So many interesting talks and advances in the field - topped off by Brian Cox discussing the origins of life on Earth (and off it)!
