I came to the US as an exchange student when I was 16 and have been here ever since. Finally got my citizenship earlier this year, so at age 47, I got to vote for the first time today. #immigrantstory
Surprise, surprise! #GTFO ICE
Migrating to @KafsackLab.bsky.social .... See you over there.
Are the @veupathdb blast servers down? Simple searches that normally take seconds, are still running after 5-10 min.
Working on some more community love on this gentle Sunday by writing a tutorial on how I use Primer3Plus.com to generate reliable primers for both detection and cloning. Please RT and share with your students! Enjoy! 💚 binomicalabs.notion.site/PCR-Primer-Des…
It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology
You know its time to stop working on your grant for the day when you use genAI to create a cute hammerhead ribozyme...
Apparently @WeillCornell Hem-Onc put up a vision board in Belfer 8... @WCMHemOncFellow. No wonder there is no space for new hires...
Congratulations to Dr. Xinran Tong on an amazing PhD Defense! 🥲🙂↕️ Xinran started @KafsackLab with me and got many of our biggest projects off the ground before joining @adrienne_boire for @WeillCornellGS.
The density of public transit in Melbourne is truly impressive ! No I just have to try and not get run over by the many 🚍 and 🚋 because I looked the wrong way.
If you use VEuPathDB resources in your research, acknowledge them with a logo in your oral presentations and posters. Citation is support and keeps the platforms going for YOU! Find logos here: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…
