Finish out the school year for a needy classroom with a DonorsChoose matched donation
Just messing around with timelapse on my GoPro. This is only about 2 hours before the battery died. Maybe tomorrow I'll set it up for 24hr and plug it into a nearby computer for power.

Nice, but did I see people EATING in the lab??? Tsk, tsk! What would OSHA/Environmental Health & Safety have to say about that? Maybe you should put the camera in a different location next time (so there's no "evidence") 
EHS says that the desk area is food safe. They even gave us stickers to put on the microwave and mini fridge that say FOOD ONLY.
Brian, you guys are lucky! Our EHS would never allow that at Ohio State. So there's no concern about bringing lab goobers to the desk area via lab coats, lab notebooks, pens, etc., eh?
There's always a risk. But that risk is the same if you walk down to a cafeteria with your bacteria encrusted clothes too :P I do lots of hand washing! And honestly, I think the lab is probably a lot safer and cleaner than the hospital cafeteria. Who knows what all of those sick people are leaving behind on the tables.
Hi Brian, I am certainly interested in both continuity and accuracy of PacBio sequencing. However, I no longer fear the 15% error rate like I first did, because we have more-or-less worked . . .Read More
Great stuff Jeremy! You bring up good points about gaps and bioinformatics. Despite the advances in technology, there is a lot of extra work that goes into assembling a de novo genome on the ba. . .Read More
Brian,I don't know why shatz doesn't appear to be concerned about the accuracy of Pacbio for plant applications. You would have to ask him. We operate in different spaces- shatz is concerned a. . .Read More
Hey Jeremy, thanks for the clarification! I really enjoyed your talk and seeing Moleculo in action. I just wish we knew more details about how it worked. One question though, why do you think. . .Read More
Hey Brian- good post, I don't like Moleculo because they do the work (i dont have problem reconstructing sub assemblies of millions of reads:) although many people do appreciate the ease of data colle. . .Read More
