Very nice article (in French) on the representation of a "consensus" human genome:

Many labs really feel the pain. This is going to have devastating impacts on research. Some labs will close, people will leave and once they are gone, you can't restart it just like flipping a switch. It takes years and years!

Pace of N.I.H. Funding Slows Further in Trump’s Second Year

The agency has approved far fewer new grants than it did in years past. A renewed effort to screen for disfavored terms and a loss of personnel are contributing.

Dealing with the mess that is the horde of different USB type C cables right now. Many many manufacturers don't write specification and you only figure out you have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable instead of Thunderbolt 4 as you thought when it miserably fails to connect video for an external display!
Figuring out transfer speed is a wild guessing game too.
I hate them with all my heart!

#T1D #DexcomG7 I ran the script on a data set of 90 days and it detected 98 lows following a cluster of inaccurate readings!!! Some were series of lows (hard to get back up), some were not real (CGM reading bogus values), but still!!!

Really great article on the analysis of the erratic and aberent patterns of the G7 (with an open source algorithm to analyze them).
It illustrates, once more, the shortcomings of the G7 and the dire consequences it can have on the lives of T1Ds:

The CGM Patent That Could Save Lives

A patent that describes detecting unreliable CGM readings has the potential to protect users from harm. And yet…

@neofinder I've had some difficulties managing PDFs with #NeoFinder. It doesn't look like the app can see their metadata (e.g. author) or display the thumbnails. Did-I miss anything?
(and I would have asked the question on your forums, but my account never got approved).
