It pains me to see facile critiques of GWAS on here from our clinical/biostats friends while the many actually good reasons to be critical of GWAS get little attention. So here's a thread on what GWAS does, what critics get wrong, and where GWAS is genuinely still lacking. 🧵:
Trying to reduce plastic waste in lab? Here's an easy way to clean pipette tips for reuse in molecular biology! vimeo.com/940538859 tldr: Put used pipette tips into slots of an empty tip box filled with decon solution. When rack is full, rinse with di water and autoclave.
Credit to Pipette Jockey for the nuclease decontamination solution recipe. I use this instead of paying $30/L for RNASE-Zap!, and my RNA looks great! pipettejockey.com/2016/05/06/mak…

@IanDworkin Not gonna lie, the garden here is basically paradise this time of year. Bugs and humidity aren't bad, and it is overflowing with life of all kinds. My daughter and I laid out in the grass for an hour up to sunset last night and read books.

1. Our lab's latest paper, now out in @PLOSGenetics addresses a problem I’ve been personally obsessed w/ for almost 2 decades now: why do cell adhesions have so many way to link to the cytoskeleton? We think this study provides some answers. A brief thread journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…
Writing in 1942 in “Looking Back on the Spanish War”, Orwell describes how political partisanship blinds us to atrocities: “what impressed me then, and has impressed me ever since, is that atrocities are believed in or disbelieved in solely on grounds of political predilection.”

Searing protest outside Israeli military hq by Israeli hostage relatives and friends, their hands and mouths bound. Some cry out in agony. A mother of a captive daughter: “200 days, who would believe? … how can it be? We want them home. End the war now.”

Nope — I refuse to cede the valence of emojis entirely to a specific generation. You use the emojis the way you want and I will use them the way I want. I hope we can achieve agreement, but I'll continue to use 👍, as well as punctuation in messages.
CAUTION: Did you know the thumbs up icon/emoticon is considered hostile? Yup, younger generations perceive the thumbs-up emoji as a hostile, sarcastic, or dismissive gesture because overuse of a positive tends to lead to insincerity.
Package documentation is important so that users learn how to use it. Sometimes it's not easy to demonstrate all available features or typical workflows, and docs become very long. To increase clarity and to summarize the most important points, I started adding short summaries.
