Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

I’ve been trying to ignore news lately, especially live reporting that tends to catastrophise everything. I was hoping that over time a more generally positive picture of Labour in power would be able to emerge. That just isn’t going to happen is it?
Writing this with a heavy heart: the refugee citizenship ban is the single most unconscionable policy Labour has proposed since it entered power. It’s the moment that I felt my support for this administration begin to crumble inews.co.uk/opinion/colu...

New preprint from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Excellent work by PhD student Lefteris (www.linkedin.com/in/zormpasle...) - applying established methods from Geography like fuzzy geographically-weighted clustering and geographically-weighted regression to spatial transcriptomics data.

The special futility of redoing work I did last year because the machine image was deleted without consultation. On a service that is going to be retired in 2 years anyway.

Going to try to remember to post more here. Mostly #AcademicSky and #bioinformatics. Have a pre-print in the queue at @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social that I'll be spamming the heck out of shortly...

GCSE results day! Overwhelming parental emotion is relief - he worked really hard and has results to match the effort.

Finally ditching space Karen's site. Struggling to delete the profile I've had since 2008, but I will get there.
