Brilliant @NatureRevGenet review on overlapping genes in all domains of life (plus viruses) and its modern day applications in #SynBio #Genomics
Announcing our #Review in @NatureRevGenet on “Overlapping Genes in Natural and Engineered Genomes” with @Vawkstar @BowelCa! rdcu.be/cySvX
We cover #gene overlaps across all domains of life and #viruses as well as their uses in #synbio #genomics #research & #engineering

I have created a world map for PhD students and postdocs, so that they can easily find #Plant and #GreenLineage #Photobiology labs around the world.
You are welcome to add your lab!

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

I've made this cheat sheet and I think it's important. Most stats 101 tests are simple linear models - including "non-parametric" tests. It's so simple we should only teach regression. Avoid confusing students with a zoo of named tests. lindeloev.github.io/tests-as… 1/n

The Netherlands has become the world’s second largest food exporter.
While we reduced water usage by 90%
And nearly eradicated the use of pesticides
We use science and technology to push the boundaries of agriculture.
And to inspire others...
