@H3ABioNet has been an amazing journey and I believe has had an impact on many African scientists. Thanks to the dedicated members of the H3ABioNet family from across the continent. Thanks to my team at CBIO, you are amazing.
Over the years, H3ABioNet has united an amazing community through AGMs, trainings, and virtual gatherings. These moments represent more than just events-they show impactful collaborations, shared knowledge, and the lasting connections built.š #H3ABioNetImpact #ThankYouH3ABioNet

A classic book. I have an old copy. Treasure it as a part of history.
I'm preparing for a talk that will take place in a few months and in descending a rabbit hole ended up reading this interesting paper on the history of the work of Margaret Dayhoff and her Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure. Highly recommended:

Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin! We celebrate her work and influence in science. Thanks to her, we have the historic Photo 51, which revealed that DNA has a double-helical structure!

Ugh! Inflating citation counts by adding references not mentioned in a paper into author-generated metadata. One author added 3000 citations to his record that way.

1/ In 1997, 20 volunteers in Buffalo, NY donated blood for what was billed as "the world's biggest science project." Little did they know, one of them would become the cornerstone of modern genetics. š: https://t.co/h6BzUx9wT3

Today, our paper with over 100 African authors showing how we trained 408 African scientists in genomics & bioinformatics through 28 regional workshops in 2023, is now published in @NatureGenet: https://t.co/rhuiG2exAo or https://t.co/jtdWgcS9Ec & https://t.co/MkIC5SEF1m

Aristotle was the first to notice honeybees dancing. In 1927 Karl von Frisch decoded the waggle. How it works was "explained" by MV Srinivasan AM FRS in the 1990s. Except @NeuroLuebbert found his papers are junk. A š§µ about her discovery & our report: https://t.co/K0rpDPnfop 1/

Secondly, seeing this tweet and reading this article about male loneliness. It really hit home. I hadnāt really looked into this before but it really resonated - and the video is beautiful.
Most married men donāt have friends like this locally and the data shows the negative consequences of fathers lacking local friends with whom they have the two things mentioned here.

Very inappropriate seq-struc analysis: Hence, conclusions presented here are questionable. 1st, there is no relationship between the RNase H fold endonuclease of the phage terminase& Colicin E5. 2nd the predicted functional residues are irrelevant
