I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

My book, An Intuitive Primer on Effective Functional Genomics Study Design, is published! I’d really appreciate it if you could help spread the word, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. I hope people will find it useful. It’s available on Amazon: tinyurl.com/mx2hewen

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good article alert setup? Ideally, I’d like to get a single monthly email that compiles all article titles from a set of different journals I’ve chosen, plus extra articles based on a few keywords. If you have any ideas let me know, thanks! 🧪
