@bensb @pjacock @AMathelier ooh this is a great tip. Especially if there’s a way to convince FileZilla (or equivalent) to use the already established master connection…
@pjacock @AMathelier we have 2FA for every single SSH login as well. Does make everything much more painful! I’ve gotten used to doing everything in a screen session so I don’t have to log in again.

Whispering: rich students have been paying other people to do their homework for decades, have you considered that maybe the real threat of OpenAI text to academia is that now the underprivileged have a way to fake their way through your social stratification system.

#Christmas is almost here, and the presents are near so I asked #Santa for a #research #grant 😬

Question for people working with gene expression data from multiple populations: is there a way to control for neutral structure when looking for differentially expressed genes? E.g. determine expression differences among populations above that expected by genetic drift? Please boost!

@alex_roddie good piece, the skew of the UK outdoor culture toward the ‘big wild spaces’ is I think unfortunate in the bigger scheme of things; a short personal reflection on this from a while back, https://aye.tf/2020/01/29/scotland-the-invisible/, not much seems to me to have changed since.
Really interesting read from @ardemp@twitter.com - Piezo2 helps neurons sense passage of food through the gut https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.27.518109v1 #genetics #neurons #preprints

An elegant use of dual reporter assays and scRNA-seq to carefully unpick exquisite cell-type specific activities of retinal enhancers for PAX6. Congratulations to all involved! https://twitter.com/wendy_bickmore/status/1597507691089653760

When I get asked … but are your findings applicable genome-wide?..I always respond by illustrating the general principles Doug has revealed by studying one locus- alpha globin. An inspiration. https://twitter.com/gensocuk/status/1593657790551117827

@TheodoreLytras@twitter.com @DrBradBrad@twitter.com It’s been policy since the last round of strikes. Here is QMUL’s FAQs. During the marking boycott I lost my entire July paycheck, deducting more than I ever would have been paid for the marking - effectively meaning I wasn’t fully paid for work I did during the previous term.

@lauraczd What we’re planning to do would probably be more fairly described as semi-correlative. We’ve got a population of cells where around 50% have a distinctive chromatin rearrangement in the nucleus that can only be identified by EM. We want to see if that phenotype is associated with a different distribution of various nuclear proteins. So the EM part is mostly just to identify cells of interest.
