EARN IT - Anti-Encryption Bill Passes Senate Judiciary Committee

That's fantastic! I would love to see more academics convert from non-free social media to Fediverse. This independence and decentralisation are suited to the notion of open science.

So far, there are only a handful of us from #biomedicine / translational research field, but hopefully that will change.

Hello, all. I've been around for a few days but haven't yet made an #introduction post. So here we go.

I'm a #bioinformatics consultant with [The Bioinformatics CRO](https://www.bioinformaticscro.com/) working on a variety of small and large projects ranging from fundamental genomics to clinical decision support. Before that, for several years I was a postdoc and ORISE fellow specializing in high-altitude medicine and physiology at the University of Colorado Altitude Research Center. My academic background is a nearly even mix of #biostatistics, machine learning, and biology.

The ARC* has been sadly moribund for a few years, but thanks to collaborations with other groups, we're [starting to get more active again](https://harcsummit.org/). Hopefully I will have more to say about that in the future. Meanwhile, feel free to ask me anything about #altitude medicine---I think I still remember most of it.

Years before _that_, I was an Air Force #medic (after a brief stint as an Army infantryman) followed by a couple of years as a civilian EMT. My time in patient care informs my approach to science: the numbers I crunch represent human lives.

Otherwise, I'm an armchair #paleontologist hoping to be able to call myself an _amateur_ paleontologist again one of these days---by which I mean actually spending some time in the field and/or the prep lab---a too-occasional science fiction writer, and chronically sleep deprived. Also, my life is the internet: it's cats all the way down.

*Fellow #Primeval fans may recognize the jacket in the picture. My wonderful fiancée found it for me when I was hired at the ARC, for exactly the reason you think.

Rishi Sunak, the first Chancellor in UK history to receive a criminal sanction while in office, reappointed Cruella Braverman 6 days after she was sacked for what we now know were “multiple breaches of the ministerial code”.
They have started as they mean to go on.

After 12 years of Tory failure, the British people deserve so much better than this revolving door of chaos.

We need a general election, now.
