Born in 1902, botanist & cytogeneticist Barbara McClintock became a pioneer in modern genetics by changing our understanding of inheritance.

She proposed that genomic replication does not always follow a consistent pattern, which wasn’t widely accepted at the time. She also contributed new cytogenetic research techniques & was the first scientist to correctly speculate about epigenetics.

In 1983, McClintock was awarded a Nobel Prize. https://www.nobelprize.org/womenwhochangedscience/stories/barbara-mcclintock #HistoryRemix #science #history

Trying to find people I relate to on Mastodon. Please boost if you:

-don't believe in palindromes.

-once saw a psychic who told you that you will die in a tragic mini golf accident.

-think that cops should give you one chance to rock, paper, scissors your way out of a speeding ticket.

-microdose bananas to keep your potassium levels stable.

-constantly say sorry whenever you're walking just in case you bump into a ghost.

While we’re all distracted by AI and the fear of a robot uprising, the real enemy is quietly gathering its forces.

Layoffs have been hitting some folks I know pretty hard, either directly, or through having to add others' responsibilities on to their own.

My company is hiring for a half dozen positions. One of the positions (Sr Systems Engineer) is on my team. Each of them is a real position that we're actually interviewing to fill.

Domaintools is a great company, filled with some of the smartest and best people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I've been with FSI and DT (FSI was bought about a year and a half ago by DT) for a total of over 9 years now, and I'm still hyped about my job, the learning opportunities, the people, and the impact we make on the world.

If the layoffs impacted you, and there's a fit, come work with me. If you're unhappy with your position, but the move still sounds like a good idea, come work with me and open your spot for someone else!

Reach out to me with any questions, or if you'd like to ask me to officially recommend you for the position to the hiring manager.

"How to Start a Zombie Apocalypse" is a short film I did in 2017 (or was it 2018?), about a woman who defies death and accidentally unleashes #zombies upon the world. I wrote it like a folk tale, and it's one of those I had a bit of fun working on. You can watch it here on PeerTube

Look, I'm not asking you to support my Patreon because my facts hopefully bring a little joy to your day.

I'm not asking because it's cool to support small creative projects.

I'm not even asking because I can barely afford to pay rent.

I'm simply asking because Ruby demands that I buy more treats. I'm afraid to tell her no. She may be small and cute, but she has a very threatening aura.
