Heck yeah! Even better for Deck users, they can enjoy the game as it was intended to be played: on a touchscreen. I wonder if there's a way to use the deck's gyros to replicate the original iOS version where you had to go portrait for combat.


Steam Deck and Steam Desktop stable updates bring lots of fixes gamingonlinux.com/2023/11/stea…

Here's my poster for #ABACBS2023!

We compared different #eDNA taxonomic classifiers across different simulated datasets of 12S and 16S metabarcoding data.

MMSeqs2 generally 'wins' closely followed by BLAST.
With exclusion databases it becomes apparent that standard Kraken2 produces many, many false positives. With some families like snappers, all classifiers can't assign more than ~30% of sequences.

(not shown is COI, where MMSeqs2 and Mothur are working best)

@foaylward Thanks!!! We have a whole Comms team who help with the poster, it's amazing compared to my academic life.
I sent them an initial outline in powerpoint and my ggplot figures, we had a few calls and sits together. they redrew the figures in illustrator to make them nice! the text is relatively unchanged, which is why there's so much of it 😀

Hilarious and quite the in-joke. For Avatar: The Last Airbender fans!


@John Hummel Just reminded me of how awesome this song is! This version takes it a step further by bringing in a whole bunch of vibrant young people who combine athleticism and aesthetics. WOW it pops!

I'm afraid I didn't 🙁 My cultural ignorance would horrify you, @Muse. (I am a scientist and all that implies; the geek's geek.) I had never heard of the song we posted until I came across it by chance.

It's great when an artist approves of a cover version. This happens too seldom.



It’s zero degrees in London tonight. Enjoying fresh ginger tea in my new mug.

how cold though? // jar of synth jam


continuing to get familiar with the keystep. simple jam switching between sequences.

What does "meta" mean anyway? I argue that it has become used as a systematic tool for tech culture to evade accountability.

This is in an essay that appears exclusively in RHYTHMS, the new journal of our Center for Media, Religion, and Culture.

Bring back the 70s aesthetic! Fun in every room!

That's not my fireplace - but the one I designed is similar. Mine has more complexity in the design.

Awesome work from Rotem Sorek lab in our department:
Rotem's lab & others found this past decade >150 bacterial defense mechanisms against phages.
This new work, led by Erez Yirmiya, explores phage *anti-defense* mechanisms, and it's really cool!

Tomorrow I'm teaching this paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi… about how probably every civilization on every planet marches faster and faster toward burnout, UNLESS they realize that collapse is coming and radically restructure.

This is a possible solution to the Fermi Paradox: most civilizations don't last long, and the ones that do are undetectable: "A sufficiently advanced civilization is indistinguishable from Nature."

Welp, my mind is totally blown for the day. Time to go snuggle some animals.
