Lots of cage, lattice #fungi opening at the moment in Marin. I find these fascinating.

We've expanded our 'genetic toolkit' with the addition of the Genetic Product Class, describing the nature of an encoded product (e.g., wild_type, missense_mutation, RNAi_reagent). This information lives in the Transgenic Constructs table on Gene Reports, and will help you identify particular types of transgenes and build a genetic ‘toolkit’ to study your favorite gene. See this commentary for more info: http://flybase.org/commentaries/2024_02/transgenicProductClass.html

#introduction

I'm a staff scientist at Washington U in St Louis (#Missouri, USA), mostly working with human task fMRI datasets. I'm a big fan of #baseR, #knitr, #QC, and very extensive #supplementary materials. I insist on looking at data early and often; some #tutorials and examples on my blog. (#GotBrains?)

I'm a #FirstGen college grad, #IowaStateU; BS in #forestry. I do #knitting (plus #crochet, #sewing, etc.), not just knitr-ing. I haven't before posted cat pictures, but no guarantees.

Hey uh. So I'm kinda stuck in a place where I've closed myself off some, don't have a support group or family as such.

How do you ... make something like that? Like, I don't even have someone I trust to call if I need a ride home.

I'd... especially like some advice from people who've tried to make it in cultures that aren't theirs. I don't have a culture, I got brought up between three different countries and none of them are "mine" and none really accept me as "theirs". Some times that's fine, other times, especially when it combines with other aspects of identity that are also deemed a problem (ADHD, trauma, gender identity, sexuality), it's the worst thing in the world and so, so isolating.

Boosts are appreciated. I'm not good at reaching out, so every bit helps.

Tomorrow we are helping a postdoc with interview preparation.

It's been many years since I was on the uncomfortable side of a job interview.

All the advice on interviews I can find online is obvious or terrible, or both.

Has anyone got any good thoughts for implementable interview tactics which a) might genuinely help and b) can be contained in a reply to this post?
