Had to remind some folks today that making postal codes mandatory is not optimal.

They come in flavours of 3-10 numeric characters (which you can't treat as numbers) or 6-8 alphanumeric strings. And some countries/territories just don't use them at all.

This is one of the Rolf stickers from around 1992 on my floppy disk box for the Amiga I was using at the time. #Nostalgia #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #GermanPost #ZIPCodes #Postleitzahlen

How does RNA know where to go in the city of the cell? Using cellular ZIP codes and postal carrier routes

Before 2020, when my friends and acquaintances asked me what I study as a molecular biologist, their eyes would inevitably glaze over as soon as I said "RNA." Now, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the power and promise of this molecule to the world at large, their eyes widen.

This New Year, resolve to stop analyzing data at the Zip Code level. It’s almost never the right scale! I feel like I get more militant about this every year, but it’s one of those things like NHST: it’s everywhere and it’s almost always wrong, even when it happens to correctly identify a real pattern.
