And I thought that Finnish Chrismas salad "rosolli" was weird.

Ei ihan vielä ole opettajan graafikkokaveriksi tästä tekoälystä.

Oh no, no...., no! This was not what I wanted to see.

Ah nautintoa! Koivutietoa suomeksi. Lähdin kuokkimaan dendrologian seuran koivuseminaariin enkä kadu yhtään. Niin harvoin saa nykyään kuunnella esityksiä omalla äidinkielellään.

Oldie but goldie

Our beautiful birch GWAS field experiment in Viikki campus.

A sneak peek to Robert Kesälahti's results on using species-specific (Scots pine, 22 Gbp genome) c0t-1 DNA (60 000 and 30 000 ng) instead of Developer Reagent (DR) as a blocker in exome capture. Significant reduction in e.g., amount of centromere repeats in the sequence data!

I guess I do not need those primers and DNA samples of my PhD anymore... But it feels so bad to throw once-precious tubes away. I am in need of therapy,

Isn't this the most beautiful GWAS experiment? Forest genomics research in Viikki campus, Helsinki, Finland.

Peaceful Independence day!

Getting ready to teach Forest Genomics and Breeding. Something obvious I am missing?

How was your work day today? I have commented a manuscript draft, hunted right sized staples for sample collection, emailed about ethanol use for lab surfaces, gossiped with a colleague during lunch, visited the greenhouse to say hi to gardeners and assistants, reading for a journal club tomorrow.

First year harvest:

Record maize harvest of SynAdapt experimental evolution site in Viikki, Helsinki this year. Earlier years we barely got 1000 SEEDS. @jrossibarra.bsky.social @jennisiren.bsky.social

What is he really relying on? Wrong answers only.
