@BohemianPeasant @petersuber truly remarkable. 💔♥️✡️

Enemy for these Florida censors is nuance, insight and truth? Absolutely hateful antimuslim trash is undoubtedly allowed.

@bdsint yeah. I was sad to read that article. ♥️💔 I have found myself able to use Twitter more effectively than fedi to discuss topics concerning Israel / Hamas conflict. And even then still haven't been able to chat about that article.

Lately have been agreeing more with Kasparov than Gessen. Although up until learning her views on Israel -- and Israel / Hamas War -- I have read almost everything I come across written by her and agreed with it.

@kingbeauregard @bdsint @[email protected] truly painful, frankly. 💔♥️ And also hard to talk about conflict between Israelis and Palestinians in fediverse. My "personal" account at scholar.social does not even allow me to follow you at all.

So, I guess, I will be moving "personal" instances again. Giving mozilla.social a try.

The Monarch Initiative | LinkedIn

The Monarch Initiative | 188 followers on LinkedIn. An integrative analytic platform connecting phenotypes to genotypes across species, bridging basic and applied research. | The correlation of phenotypic outcomes and disease with genetic variation and environmental factors is a core pursuit in biology and biomedicine. We have created or currently contribute to many essential bio-ontologies that together enable sophisticated and semantically integrated computational analysis across gene, genotype, variant, disease, and phenotype data. We have developed algorithms and tools that are in use by multiple communities for tasks including the identification of animal models of human disease through phenotypic similarity, phenotype-driven computational support for differential diagnostics, and translational research.

**We are moving platforms**

Bioconductor will cease posting on Twitter/X as of December 17, 2023. Instead we will be continuing to post on other social media platforms that better reflect our community’s code of conduct.

@TaliaRinger whatever happened -- whatever you decided to do -- it is OK. ❤️💔

For some of us "caught between worlds" these moments are indescribably hard to explain or even talk about. Please, be kind to yourself!

@TaliaRinger I have made progress on essentials. And, still, I keep fantasizing about joining IDF. (I'm not Israeli merely Jewish.) And it would be wrong to do this right now even if possible. And, still, fantasy persists.❤️💔
