From my experience community biolabs are passion projects that don't always pan out in the long term. But I think they're important infrastructure and community spaces.
Some sort of lab meeting between home labs and community labs around a shared project would be great and I'd be happy to help with logistics and facilitation because it'll probably help BwoB too by giving some folks direction/motivation to join as members. I think the amybo project could be a good nucleus.

For example, Simpson's Paradox and the importance of considering important subpopulations - is brilliantly displayed in the Palmer Penguins dataset.
You’ve probably heard of “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” bc of her heroism on the Titanic, but there’s so much more to her story.
Margaret Brown (her real name) fought for workers’ rights, women’s rights, education & even ran for the Senate - before women could vote. She established Titanic’s Survivor's Committee & helped erect the DC memorial.
And yet, Brown wasn't allowed to participate in the congressional Titanic hearings simply bc she was a woman. #history

in reply to Muse • • •Did you know that Gilbert and Sullivan also worked individually?
Gilbert wrote one of the funniest plays in the universe "Engaged". (It involves a pub/innkeeper who derails passing trains to bring customers into his pub... and that's just how it starts.) I think that this play may have inspired the Monty Python sketch about the funniest joke in the world.

Arthur Sullivan wrote the song "Onward Christian Soldiers".

in reply to Muse • • •@Muse - Yes, it is as crazed, or rather, more crazed, than Shakespeare's comedies. Reading the summary is more confusing than watching it - assuming that it's not done with impenetrable accents.
I saw it at Santa Cruz Shakespeare - they had it in rep with a pair of Shakespeare plays, so the actors were well versed in twisted plots.
