I almost forgot this account. Whether or not you're still using it, here's an update: my paper on M-matrix (w/ @mwpen) is published! Again, many thanks to @ArlinStoltzfus @TheDMMcC @JoannaMasel @jgschraiber for feedback!.

@mwpen @ribonucleicacid @MolSystBiol Full 🧵 introducing the study is here:

It's official! My paper (with @mwpen & @ribonucleicacid) on the evolution of gene product diversity (RNA/protein expressed from this same gene having alternative isoforms) is now online at @MolSystBiol! .

@mwpen @laurensallan You're all welcome to check it out! See here for a full thread introducing the work:

As you know, I've essentially left this platform. The only occasion where I tweet with this account is when my paper/preprint comes out. So here comes my newest preprint w/ @mwpen & @laurensallan, on the evolution novelties from serial homologs!.

I’m very much done with this app but here’s something for which I’m willing to come back & tweet….Our paper on the evolution of gene is just accepted at @MolSystBiol !🥳.Final version coming soon!.

After moving to BlueSky for a while, user experience at Twitter/X feels intolerable now. Sooooooo many ads.

It’s officially 2025 here in Japan. Fireworks showed up accurately on time. さよなら、西暦2024年。.It was a nightmare. 2025 will probably be worse.

Also, many thanks to @ArlinStoltzfus @TheDMMcC @JoannaMasel @jgschraiber for thoughtful feedback 😊!.

Here comes (new version of) my preprint w/ @mwpen on how hidden aspects of the mutational input not captured by the M-matrix affects the course of evolution!.

If @jgschraiber also moves to BlueSky, it would be a significant step towards this platform’s death. Let’s accelerate this process 😈.

Seems to be time to move away from twitter/X now. For real. I’m starting by posting things on Bluesky ( first, then other platforms if I’m in the mood.

There turns out to be A LOT of immigrants who wish to burn the bridge for other immigrants (and prospective ones). Such cruel barbarians deserve no sympathy or empathy; they have neither in the first place.

So this turned out to be the country’s and the population’s failure, not Harris’s. It’s essentially the German population that elected Hitler. They’ve just been waiting for their Hitler to show up.

Anyway, I thank everyone who voted for Harris. Thank you for trying to prevent the disaster. Thank you. Hope you all do well in the face of hardship.🙏.
