First #AGBT2025 occurrence of "don't tweet this" - but only a verbal warning that could be easily forgotten or missed if you had ducked out for a moment

Bernie Sanders meme - I am once again asking to tag every AGBT slide that is not for sharing on social media

Overdue for my annual #AGBT haberdashery communique This year I’m sporting this wonderful cap @biomath.bsky.social gifted me last year. There might be a few more around, but if you accidentally mistake another for me - any friend of Charlie’s is an interesting new contact! 🧬🖥️

If you were discouraged from buying Light Bio’s glowing petunias due to the shipping fees, they have dropped them - and are taking the action that gains customer loyalty - refunding to those who already ordered!

For $100, would you rather get 36 of these amazing artisanal chocolates or a 30X human WGS? In either case, cost of consumables

A mystery to ponder over your holiday weekend: Why did I post the below photo as a part of a comment on the below LinkedIn post, and what would a higher camera angle reveal? www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
