Amazing to see the influx of new users here 🤩🧬🖥️🧪

I've gotten 100s of requests to be added to my bioinfo starter pack. If your recent ~20 posts are -- (1) bioinfo-relevant, (2) original, not just reposts, (3) snark/politics-free, (4) free from breakfast/bird photos -- ask again, I'd love to add you!
Bluesky for Science

Starter packs for genomics, bioinformatics, #Rstats, Nextflow. Moderation lists. Feeds. Let's rebuild the old scitwitter community and keep this place nice
