The GRS and accompanying GRC are a great place for PhD students and postdocs to broaden their network and present research. They are intentionally kept small and foster great discussions. It is one of my favorite conferences and we would love to see you there!

Replying to @Delta
@Delta I get that you have to cancel flights, but why didn't I even get so much as an email informing me of the cancellation? Is that really the standard for customer service now?

What does the average person do on the morning of their defense? I can't tell if I should go work out or read a book or drink a cup of coffee (probably not that last one though)

The U: "We have such a hard time retaining our employees!" Also the U:
The University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment is hiring a senior-level project manager who enjoys supporting diverse portfolios of research projects and driving teams toward sustainability impact milestones. This position leads the project management of three portfolios of research which total several million dollars and coordinates hundreds of researchers, students, and non-academic project partners from diverse sectors, including government, education, the nonprofit sector and industry. Such a detail-oriented team member would be able to immediately jump in and develop semester and annual work plans, seamlessly coordinate distributed teams with highly sensitive relationships, organize and motivate teams toward goals, understand grant reporting requirements and how we can use them to facilitate new funding opportunities, quickly learn project budgets and proactively support grant accounting, and be resourceful enough to figure out how to do things they don't know.

I love how the entire campaign of George Santos was just the plot of The Producers. The guy must have been terrified on election night when the numbers came back in.

Ah yes, avoid crossing a picket line by crossing a picket line. Why didn’t I think of that!

So if it wasn’t obvious, this is nonsense. Even if we knew which genes were responsible for EA (we don’t) you can’t just take those and extrapolate them to another civilization. Genes don’t exist in a vacuum, and complex traits like EA are going to vary widely by environment.

The education system of today is very different from that of Ancient Rome. It would be like trying to use genes from dogs to predict the height of a kangaroo. Even if genes for height in dogs were shared, there’s no reason to believe they would be a good predictor in kangaroos.

There’s something truly hilarious about Arby’s wagyu beef patties being exactly 51% wagyu and 49% regular ground beef.

It sucks that they named their company OceanGate. What are we supposed to call this scandal? OceanGateGate???

New paper alert with coauthors @PeterLMorrell and Laura Shannon! This short preview article gives a glimpse into how a reduction in ploidy and better genomic tools will change (hopefully improve!) potato breeding. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We discuss some of the results from Wu et al. 2023 and how they fit into the broader context of potato breeding. Wu et al. used phylogenomics to discover deleterious variants in diploid potato landrace populations and how that will relate to inbred dev cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674…

The niblings are getting some good books from our local children’s bookshop for the birthdays I’ve missed (in my defense there are four of them and they live 9 hours away!).

“That’s $20 an hour!” Yeah except they need to pay for gas and car maintenance. Which, using the federal standard for mileage puts this at a whopping -$90. NEGATIVE $90. They are paying for the privilege of driving someone.

This is another ride, is it fair pay for the driver to go to Duluth 2 hours and 49 minutes for $124.95? This is the take home nobody knows how much the customer got charged? Also, the driver will return back empty. This is why we need fair pay. @MplsWard9 @GovTimWalz

If SCOTUS decides that a third party can sue on the behalf of a “damaged” party under false pretenses, I don’t really see what else a president could do besides ignore SCOTUS and just do it anyway.

What is so frustrating about all of this is that we really could have had this be the winning message Except Biden decided to screw up cancellation in a way that unnecessarily gave the veto pen to SCOTUS The buck stops with Biden

If MO somehow wins their suit, literally any lender could sue an employer for laying off their debtors. The whole argument is that MOHELA won’t be able to pay back MO if debt is forgiven as it *may* cut their revenue (the facts don’t show this and SCOTUS hasn’t asked for facts).

Do we need people to get PhDs and does paying them peanuts close doors for many? If you say yes to either of those questions, “but I chose to do it” is the wrong response to the problem.

No better way to start the day than nearly being killed while riding my bike down a quiet street by someone who was too scared to even look at me after he did it!
