The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Do you (like me) create a bunch of conda environments, then later forget what they're for, when they were last updated, or which tools are in them?
If so, you might this little project: github.com/rrwick/conda...

Catch me at #ESCMIDGlobal today with some results from one year of sequencing at Odense University Hospital’s department of clinical microbiology: how does our WGS-based Salmonella serovar ID hold up to the reference lab’s?
