At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

@contamclub.bsky.social I don't often go in the lab these days but I just found this on some long forgotten elderflower cordial and immediately thought of you!

Can anyone recommend sequencing providers in the UK that offer off the shelf Illumina services for approx 200M reads? I'm looking for NextSeq 500-scale services but that doesn't seem popular 🧬🖥️
