Free online bioinformatics course
Free online bioinformatics course
Many biomedical research graduate programs have been compelled to “go online” with little or no notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since many professors are distinctly uncomfortable in front of a camera, students may not get exposure to some of the topics that they might have expected. Since my move to South Africa in 2015, I have tried to deposit video on YouTube (and PDFs of the slides to Google Drive) every time I have delivered a lecture for students. Since I teach a fairly broad range of coursework, the catalog of topics may be useful for students working from home or for departments that are trying to ensure their students get the training they need. This page indexes the series of lectures I have made available. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I have enjoyed creating them!

The tweet that suggested hashtags, before they wete called hashtags
The tweet that suggested hashtags, before they wete called hashtags

From what I've been able to see on the Net, this is the tweet that first suggested using a hash and a symbolic name to group together tweets by subject.

I can remember, back in the day, using this and an external website to then search particular tags on Twitter. Sadly I forget the name of the website.

This is how science happens
This is how science happens

An article exploring, in some part, the idea that science works as well as it does because failure is a feature and is (or should be) embraced.

I wish software development would do this more too.

Expert analysis: Why the Caroline Flack case placed CPS in a difficult position - Mark Brooks
Expert analysis: Why the Caroline Flack case placed CPS in a difficult position - Mark Brooks
A sober take on a terrible situation. The case itself had serious implications for how victims of abuse are believed, even if they don't wish to report the abuse (which often can be the case because an abuser can convince the victim that the abuse isn't real, or there's a reasonable cause).
