Getting the job There are definitely some unwritten laws about getting jobs in academia.

I have been involved in the open science movement for nearly 20 years now. By now, it seems to me the problems have been clearly recognized and formulated, the experts agree on the necessary technical solutions (replacing the journals) and the funding is available.

Let’s start with the information you need most: Dougal Dixon’s speculative evolution classic The New Dinosaurs, which imagines the biota of today if the K-Pg extinction event had never happened, is being reprinted in a handsomely-produced new edition from Breakdown Press.

I covered Autocycler (paper, code, docs) in last week’s recap: From the abstract: Here’s a schematic of the workflow: And some benchmarks:Subscribe now Demo I wanted to try this tool out myself. I followed the demo dataset described in the Autocycler docs, which contains ONT reads from a few E. coli plasmids, and mostly used the same code provided in the docs to run Autocycler on this data.

This was a format where we caught the interest of passing students and lecturers with a chance glance. The Long Night of Science had a different setting and audience. A summer evening in darkened museum atmosphere amidst dinosaur skeletons.
