The 32nd Plant and Animal Genomes (PAG) Conference 2025 was a whirlwind of fascinating talks and innovative research! As in previous years (see previous blog posts here & here), the event spanned 5 complete days, this time the organisers reporting 2349 registered attendees from 64 countries. The top 5 represented countries were (highest number of participants first); USA, Canada, UK, Germany and China.
Get a glimpse into the captivating world of mutualistic relationships in nature and discover how these partnerships shape ecosystems.
A coyote was recently discovered in an unexpected place – the cold food section of an Aldi store. The wild animal was found in a surprisingly good condition given its unusual choice of location. The Unusual Discovery at Aldi Rescuing a coyote from an environment like a grocery store might sound surprising, but that’s precisely what happened. Imagine heading to your local Aldi, only to come across a wild coyote amidst the frozen food aisles.
There is an air of defeatism in progressive circles today, the day Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term as President of the United States of America.
How can we teach “R for cell biologists” rather than teaching R to cell biologists? I’ve noticed that many R training courses will teach R – regardless of who is taking the course – and leave it to the participants to figure out how they can use R in their own discipline.
You won’t believe the surprising behaviors of sloth bears, from their unique foraging techniques to their impressive climbing abilities and more.
Something a little different for this week’s recap. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the practice of data science education in this era of widely available (and really good!) LLMs for code. Commentary at the top based on my own data science teaching experience, with a deep dive into a few recent papers below.
Powerful predators, giant centipedes inhabit diverse environments worldwide, from deserts to rainforests, thriving in damp, dark places near their prey.
The majority of developers use LLMs to help write code, present company included. When I’m working in languages I know well, they're fantastic at handling the grunt work: generating boilerplate, suggesting completions, and writing tedious tests and documentation.
Last year was a big one for me, where my life changed in two major ways. One is that I started seriously studying plant pathogens, which I have found I have a deep passion for and know I want to study for the forseeable future. The other is that I graduated from university. I have made some exciting finds this year.
