Skype a Scientist offers free matches with scientists for Q&As about science. We're a small nonprofit and rely on word of mouth for people to learn about us! Since the fracturing of social media, I don't know where the teachers went 🤔 Are YOU a teacher? Help us find you! #SciEd#Teachers

Big career announcement!! A few weeks ago I was offered an interview and site visit for a tenure-track Professor of Microbiology position at a dream location. But - I declined! Here is why ... (TLDR: enthusiastically saying "No, thank you" to academia) #MicroSky 1/8

How do people feel about short reads alignment accuracy for minimap2? I'm primarily working long reads with minimap2 anyway, so maybe I should consolidate instead of switching between bwa and minimap2. Just talking within microbial/phage genome contexts. 🧬🖥️🧫🦠🧪

Female academics less likely to win prizes, even when the award is named after a woman. Analysis: 9,000 awardees & 346 scientific prizes, medals published in Nature Human Behaviour, found men win 8 prizes for every 1 won by a woman. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (it isn't) phys.org/news/2023-11...
