Hi!

Jennifer Hamilton here, formerly of med-mastodon.com. That server shut down suddenly. If you followed me before for my toots about #vaccines, #PublicHealth, #FamilyMedicine, my gripes about #ElectronicMedicalRecords #EMR, or even just a few #caturday pictures and chats about bicycling, I'm on mstdn.science now.

The old #MedMastodon went down suddenly in the last week of December 2025, and I don't have a list of my old followers. Please boost this so they can find me!

Need #Linux Help!

For a layperson comfortable enough with tech (& grew up typing prompts into DOS), but with ZERO experience using Linux - what are the basics I need to know in order to switch?

I'm especially interested in:

• How to keep using all/most of my current #Windows-based software (an expensive investment - many of which are no longer in production)

• How to interface with peripherals (3D printers, Synology, Blu-Ray drives, etc)

• What you wish you knew before you made the switch

My interest in plant pigments started with the tomatoes in my garden. There didn't seem to be any one place organizing all the genetics related to color mutations, even though there was a great deal of research, so I decided to make one.

To help visualize everything, I built a schematic diagram of the carotenoid pathway with the various metabolites highlighted to indicate their colors.
