So many good points in this piece by
@PhilippBayer

My highlight in this screenshot (#science delivery & success is a TEAM effort!), but if you're vaguely involved in #academia +/- #bioinformatics, do have a read and think how it all may apply to you. #academicchatter @academicchatter

The final version of our study on how the SARS-CoV-2 mutational spectrum has shifted during the virus's evolution is published in
@molbioevol: https://academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/molbev/msad085/7113660

This was a collaboration with Annabel Beichmann,
@richardneher , and Kelley Harris

Below is the summary from when we posted the pre-print: https://mstdn.science/@richardneher/109384088895499391

The main addition in the final version is that we have expanded to more viruses the analysis of the mutational spectrum versus equilibrium nucleotide frequencies.

Here is a must-read post from children's author Maggie Tokuda-Hall on how Scholastic offered to distribute her book — all she had to do was remove all mention of racism.

Sure, they're banning books in Tennessee and Texas. But it's not just the books that get published and then banned from the library. It's all the books that don't get published in the first place.

Those banning books know publishers like Scholastic pull this cowardly bullshit. It's their game plan.
