Where do #viruses hide in the human body?
📌 Virus particles often hide in “immunoprivileged sites” around the human body, also sometimes called sanctuary sites, that our immune systems don’t monitor or protect as closely as the rest of our bodies. These include the brain, spinal cord, pregnant uterus, testes, and eyes, for which damage by immune cells would be highly problematic

I wanted to share with you a new thing I'm working on: biohandbook.me/
It's a resource for practical best practices and tips to use in bioinformatic analyses. The idea is to work together to define standards and workflows and write them down. I love the open science, FAIR data and FAIR code philosophy but there are not many easy-to-use and direct resources around to actually tell you how to do things in the bioinformatics world.

@foaylward
Thank you for taking an interest!
I think so! Especially the Unix commands one.
In my mind it would be less about tutorials proper and more about things you can look up when you need them, but I think tutorials can be repurposed for this quite easily. For instance an overwiew of seqkit and some salient commands would be great!

Nearly 40% of Linux gamers on Steam are on Steam Deck
The latest Steam Hardware & Software Survey is out for June 2023, and it shows just how much the Linux share is now influenced by the Steam Deck.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
the Steam Deck has become the standard budget PC, and normalized Linux gaming 😁
This is good.
I hope more dedicated gaming Linux boxes come along 😁
Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.
As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.
#Tecnoafecciones ¿Cómo están hechos nuestros dispositivos?
🤳Cada teléfono se compone de más de 200 minerales, 80 elementos químicos, y más de 300 aleaciones y variedades de plástico.
‼️La extracción de todos esos materiales se realiza mayormente en territorios del #SurGlobal.
#Tecnoafecciones La consolidación de un modelo extractivista y la llamada transición energética, derivaron en un boom del litio en toda Latinoamérica.
‼️Por cada tonelada de litio extraída de manera industrial, se evaporan cerca de dos millones de litros de agua 💦
De las actividades extractivas, la minería puede acabar con la mayor cantidad de bienes no renovables en menor tiempo ‼️ El Estado tiene un rol clave para detener este modelo.

BattleBit Remastered is good fun but anti-cheat for Steam Deck & Linux is concerning
BattleBit Remastered is the current game climbing the ranks on Steam, made by a tiny team of only 3 people it has regularly seen tens of thousands of players. It works on Steam Deck and desktop Linux but the anti-cheat may turn into a big problem.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
