I am excited to win a CZI EOSS grant! This is the first grant I have ever won after 20+ years in science. It feels wonderful to finally be funded for my open-source contributions. With Wytamma we will deliver the next generation of my popular Snippy software! 🦘🦘🦘

I've broken my self-imposed Twitter ban because you can't not check Twitter on election night.

Doesn’t seem all that secure for a nuclear code

SARS-CoV-2 provides an unprecedented opportunity to watch evolution occur in real time. It also happens to be showing the pervasiveness of many misconceptions about evolution, even among scientists with limited knowledge of evolutionary biology. Here's a list and explanations. 🧵
