Recently I convinced the institute to let me buy pizza for the campus once a month, not as a moral boosting strategy, but as bait.
Today with the postdoc committee, I hosted the first Pizza Solves Everything event
I made a joke about cats not letting their humans leave the house at London Calling, but the kittens seriously protested my absence by unplugging the wifi so I'd not see it when they threw a plant down the stairs.

Another year of updates for direct RNA sequencing:
-20% increase in output, and longer reads
-Comprehensive RNA mod detection (in all contexts) including: m6A (N6-methyladenosine) & pseudouridine.
-120 million short RNA reads on a single PromethION Flow Cell

Today I found out that being the guy with the stamp on his head caused @the_schmidti to meet the guy who went on to give him his current job. You're welcome, Max.
@nanopore #networking #pag31
MkII- somewhere between flongle and minion. Also grongle for multiple flow cells #nanoporeconf
I'll be speaking this afternoon in the plant & animal breakout session in The Clash about an outbreak of a novel feline coronavirus. There will be cute cat photos (and some less cute cat photos...). Join me there!

Super excited to hear how well sequencing in the Amazon is going! Amazing work by all of the local scientists to generate genomes with clever solutions to challenges in field labs #nanoporeconf
