Found this on my windshield a couple of weeks ago when I was at Chapters on Bayer's Lake. The anti-vaxx crowd rehashing a debunked talking point about aluminum preservatives. Because sepsis is a better alternative, apparently.

For a previous experiment we put out several of these devices around our laboratory space to determine if we could gather detectable levels of fish DNA from the air (i.e. is aerial contamination of eDNA samples a risk).

The answer was yes for at least Atlantic Salmon and Atlantic Whitefish.

Canadian politics in one shot.

Okay. Now that THAT'S out of my system, I recently discovered you can still manage to overload a MiSeq v2 flow cell when you load at 6pM (low diversity library). And that's even with a 20% PhiX spike-in.

Time to check the qPCR standards!

Was looking through my feed and noticed that I have yet to roast CBU for irresponsible enrollment inflation. This error must be corrected.

Also, this is a horribly transparent attempt to exploit a university for a dollar and shame on Dingwall.
