My workgroup (@idealab) at the Department of Evolutionary Biology @unibielefeld has an open PhD student position in evolutionary genetics. We study experimental evolution with freshwater gastropods and would love to have somebody with previous experience in ddRAD-seq and ATAC-seq to join us!
I have two children diagnosed years ago as being on the Spectrum. My partner has suggested I am probably undiagnosed. I feel like it may explain some things.
So some questions:
Does anyone know that there is a hereditary link?
For those who've been tested later in life, I am late 50s, how has it affected you to know? Interested in both confirmed and negative test experiences.
Attention bookworms: What are people using to get information about good new books that are out there? I'm a huge fan of science fiction, for example, and I know there's got to be tons of good books I haven't read simply because I've never heard of them. Sometimes I'll go window shopping, basically searching Bookshare and Kindle for certain words, just to see what comes up, and doing that I do stumble across some books, but I know there's a ton I'm missing because I don't even know it exists. Boosts appreciated.
one of my big problems in life is that i'm not good at motivating myself to do things. left to my own devices, doing things—even things i enjoy—is sporadic at best.
music, drawing, learning programming—all these things i'm interested in, but struggle to follow through on, & it's very frustrating. i need externally-imposed structure to get anything done.
i always struggled with homework, but my grades were great otherwise (honors, AP, etc). eventually i started doing my homework in school, cause i just wouldn't get it done at home.
& i don't really know what to do about this, which is doubly frustrating.
Hi @neilhimself ! I'm a huge fan and an aspiring writer with a... less than satisfactory range of vocabulary. How does one learn new phrases and words and actually remember them?
What a fucking BOOK holy heck.
I’ll need to find a hard copy of it so I can devour it again and again, and inevitably lend it out and lose it forever. But it’ll be WORTH IT.
Up there with Let Me Sing You Gentle Songs for beautiful stories that split and twist like braided rivers before spilling back into the ocean.
Might have a new top five book ay
Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.
Hallo! Ich bin #neuhier auf der Literatur Instanz. :MagicWand: Ich bin hauptsächlich auf der Suche nach interessanten Buchempfehlungen, weiß aber noch nicht, ob ich selbst aktiv tröten werde. Ich bin eher eine stille Userin. :blahaj: Ich freue mich hier zu sein!
@stachelspore Sascha Raubal hat da mal eine Liste an Hashtags und Gruppen zusammengestellt. Die richtet sich zwar (auch) an Autor:innen, aber für Leser:innen ist ebenfalls etwas dabei. Die Gruppe @lesekreis wurde im Kontext dieser Liste ergänzend genannt.

Ja, da ich natürlich hier auch Leser ansprechen (und möglichst neue finden) will, ist davon auch einiges vertreten:
Weird personal request: if there is anyone out there who studied history at University of Bristol, could you please drop me a line? pls boost for reach
