Really useful comprehensive post on clustering methods in #RStats

In December I asked for suggestions of papers for a course I teach. Thank you to those who responded.
Here is the full list for anyone interested. It's a selection of twenty or so cool papers in biology from last year. I'll find out this afternoon which one(s) the students have picked for their coursework!

The right is using asymmetrical shame warfare against the left. Trump has taught Republicans to never be ashamed of anything they’ve done, no matter how heinous or indefensible their actions. Democrats, OTOH, still have consciences. So Republicans can hound somebody like Claudine Gay out of her job, knowing that the same attack will not work against their own. They will repeat this playbook as long as it keeps working.
Preprint claxon! Very happy to present a story in a very cool population of neurons that #zebrafish have in the spinal cord: the Rohon-Beard neurons (TLDR: They don’t die!) #DevBio #PhDChat #PostdocLife #Neuroscience https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.19.572352v1
Game-changing idea: #Target/ #Walmart/ #Amazon should adjust their wedding/baby registries to be able to load 3rd-party registry lists.
Example: Newlyweds moving in together? You probably will do a bad job building your own registry, and so start with one you find on a blog/etc. This way you'll be sure to register for things like furniture sliders that you probably wouldn't think of ahead of time.
how to make supported lipid bilayers to study acto-myosin dynamics...now in motion pictures 😀

My first first-author preprint is out on the BioArchive! It's about my development work for cryo electron tomography in napari, my plugin `blik` and the surrounding libraries: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.05.570263v1
In 2022 and 2023 we published articles highlighting different opinions on the collection of whole animal specimens for #museums: https://plos.io/3jV8I1Z and https://plos.io/3NSTx9x
Now, the debate continues... https://plos.io/3uqI3m5 and https://plos.io/47wYlJ2
Fantastic MattersMicrobial podcast with Mark O. Martin and @vscooper discussing the “EvolvingSTEM” curriculum. Students evolve Pseudomonas fluorescens by transferring beads each day, witnessing visible divergence of plated colonies over the course of a week.

Happy Caturday!!
May you find a fuzzy shelf right next to the hot air vent on a chilly Caturday.
I drew this in 2020, posted it on the birdsite, and it went viral (at least by my standards!), earning me 250 new followers.
It shows how much battery various stars would have left if they had battery indicators like phones do. #MastoArt
Fantastic new resource for #microbiology and #protist enthusiasts from @pjkeelinglab
This #PLOSBiology Essay has freely available technical diagrams, thumbnails and an illustrated tree to highlight the diversity of microbial life.
Openly available #illustrations as tools to describe #eukaryotic #microbial #diversity
Beautiful and extremely useful #open #resource from Yana Eglit and @pjkeelinglab depicting eukaryotic microbes in exquisite detail.
Aren’t they lovely? Which is your favorite?

@KatrinaVelle is an incredible scientist and supportive mentor! If you are interested in cell migration, pathogenesis, or googly eyes, this is the lab for you!
Cell biologist and biophysicist studying evolutionary cell biology.
I'm interested in how amoebae divide, especially relatives of the "brain-eating amoeba"
I study this with microscopy, image analysis, and comparative genomics.
Postdoc at UMass Amherst Biology, PhD in Biophysics from Stanford.
I also love jazz and nature photography!
