Jobs said Windows users having iTunes is "like being given a glass of ice water in hell". More like someone sticking ice down your bum crack
Anyone else sigh deeply when asked to fill out a Doodle poll? Especially one with 100 options. It's like doing homework.
.@phylogenomics I'm convinced it's 13% bad, 84% good, 3% fully rehabilitated offenders
Brilliant. "the ideal balance of beneficial to pathogenic bacteria in your gut is about 85% good bacteria and 15% bad" http://phylogenomics.blogspot.co.uk/2012...)

RT @lexnederbragt: "I'm not willing to trade in our 454 yet." Getting close, though... @lexnederbragt http://t.co/1EKYAREc
No coincidence that crowd-funded science projects are mainly about animals ... would anyone fund work on bacteria? http://t.co/8VOeC12R
I was also impressed that she filled an entire lecture theatre talking palaeoanthropology, this would normally attract about 7 people
Impressed with @DrAliceRoberts' talk today, she kept the attention of a full room for over an hour, a feat many would struggle to match.
Quality of questions on Seqanswers & Biostar steadily declining IMO - we desperately need an excellent online NGS primer to point at.
RT @kbradnam: PhD Comic nails it! "Here is a list of projects I don't work on anymore". So true. http://t.co/eVOlq98K
