₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎◞ෆ⃛̑̑ Made a lil amigurumi charm! It was supposed to be a strawberry hat but it looks more like tomato, so I say it’s a tomato. 🧶
A small crochet amigurumi keychain on a countertop. It’s a little tan kitty head wearing a red fruit hat with a little green leaf and stem on top, with a yellow keychain strap attached to the stem. The cat face is winking and looks a little wonky but cute.

I found one possibly? archived version, yjzhang/split-seq-pipeline. However having used the ParseBio split-pipe pipeline before, there are some pretty big changes between versions esp with time/RAM usage etc. I would love to see some stats comparing them but obv if it’s not accessible…

The Hardest Part of Bioinformatics? Naming Files 1/ What’s the most challenging thing in bioinformatics? It’s not coding. It’s naming files. How many test.txt or foo.txt files do you have? Probably too many. Let’s talk about better file naming practices.

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.
A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.
