Who are giant viruses infecting in the ocean?

In a collaborative paper with the Vardi lab, we were able to link many giant virus lineages to protist hosts using #SingleCell #RNASeq. One #protist host (leucocryptos) made up less than 1% of the community, but we could still identify a cryptic viral lineage infecting it, leading to population collapse.

SoR is one of the best games of the last 20 years for me (that's right, you heard me) and this looks to be even better.

'Live and let live' is the right way. Not every community is for all and frankly shouldn't be. So if someone finds particular community atrocious the next one is just one mouse click away, no need to make a drama and force everyone to play with your rules. P.S. Banning/stop using the product because it's creator/community do not align with your worldview is lame at least and bigotry at most, imo.
P.S. Good video btw 👍
in reply to Brodie Robertson

it is kinda sad that today's society devolved to the state where using a certain piece of software makes people a "community". Having a chatroom for the fans of a software application developed by a single hobbyist seems to be a disaster waiting to happen.

I definitely wouldn't want to be responsible in moderating people's communications on the internet.

People, go outside, find friends in the neighborhood and play some soccer instead.

Ben Barres was a trailblazing transgender neurobiologist who promoted equity & diversity.

His pioneering research on glial cells changed science & he became the 1st #trans person admitted into the National Academies of Science.

Barres was a strong advocate for women, early career scientists & the #LGBTQ+ community at a time when few people openly discussed gender identity. forbes.com/sites/matthewherper… #history #science

@Tuxi :Friendica: 🐧 ✅ I know. But wouldn't it be a nice feature, if the admin would be informed by DM, when its site is kicked or the health score is updated?


wow.

"By conceptualizing data colonialism centrally as an epistemic problem in contradistinction to colonialism in general, in this new discourse of data colonialism, practices of material exploitation — expansion, capture, conquering of vast swathes of land including water, air, minerals and space, all so-called natural resources — can be siloed off to be treated as part of ‘historical colonialism.’ Such compartmentalization is made possible by the unspoken and pervasive assumption that lands are not epistemic beings and do not actively contribute to practices of knowledge production."

Assuming all goes well, in Q4/2024 we will be teaching the course “Introduction to Cloud as Infrastructure: The effects of the new business of computing on practice”. The course will take place at TU Delft and is intended for master students (in NL). The course is limited to 40 people, is interactive and includes group assignments which all participants are expected to complete. If MA students don’t take all seats, we welcome others interested in the course, just get in touch.

Do you need to be tortured to be an artist? David Lynch says no: depression kills creativity. “The more you suffer, the less you want to create. [Depression] occupies the whole brain, poisons the artist, poisons the environment.” kottke.org/24/04/david-lynch-d…
in reply to kottke.org

Not like he needs my approval, but can definitely confirm. Down days, for me personally, produce nothing but guilt for not having created.
in reply to kottke.org

Have depression myself. Wholeheartedly concur with Mr. Lynch.
