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!
People with a Nintendo Switch, what's your preference for docked vs handheld? Do you almost always do one or the other, does it depend on the game, does it depend on what you're doing while gaming? And if you also have a PS5 or Xbox X|S, what's your preference for games that are available on both that and the Switch?
@trixter Almost exclusively handheld, regardless of game. I'd pin it to a simple preference for handheld systems over ones anchored to wherever the TV is. The only exception is when I'm playing multiplayer with my siblings, in which case we'll dock it for the duration of our playtime.
Do you think potential candidates should be reimbursed in some form for taking assessments that are required by the employer in order to be considered for employment?
Also, should this be available for only job candidates who are not considered for the position?
Or should it go for every job candidate, even the ones that get the position?
Thanks for reading and being your most precious and sensual self ❤️.
Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy. You are a young Russian woman living in the late 19th century, where a successful romance seems quite impossible for the obliviously wealthy; you try to break the mold but the mold wins. 4 of 5 library cats 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈.
@jofagobe@bookstodon The Kitty storyline ended very unsatisfyingly for me; it seemed built for contrast to Anna’s, but didn’t really deliver on that, at least for me.
@MoiraEve and if I could piggyback, another great book of like intention is The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan and co-authored by Ann Druyan
FINALLY finished Reclamation Algorithm: Fire Within the Sand!! \o/ Ending 1, I ain't doing other endings for now lol

In relation to this, here's a quote from David Bowie that I've always liked:
"If you feel safe in the area that you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting."

Sitze jetzt in der Mittagspause mit Notebook in einem Café und frage mich, wer eigentlich die Idee aufgebracht hat, dass das Arbeiten an solchen Orten so toll sein soll. Also, ja, ich kann Mails lesen und beantworten, aber für alles andere fehlt mir dann doch mein Schreibtisch und der zweite Bildschirm (ja, Luxusproblem, ich weiß) und überhaupt.
Aber es ist angenehm ruhig, und gleich gönne ich mir noch ein Stück Kuchen.
@andijah Kommt halt auf den Beruf an. Die Cafésitzer sind ja allesamt wir Autorinnen.😎 Also, wir sitzen im Café, wenn's am eigenen Swimmingpool zu kühl ist und wenn wir den Champagnerdunst mal wieder mit Koffein auflösen müssen. Gleichzeitig gucken wir viel rum oder quasseln, das nennt man dann "Leute beobachten", "einen Plot entwickeln". Diese Außenwirkung erzielt man auch eher als am Swimmingpool.🤫 🤭 😂 #writerslife#writingCommunity@writers
Sometimes I get harry potter adults asking if Minnie is named after the hogwarts teacher and I think to myself "if I was going to name her after a YA novel character her name would be Katniss"
Hunger Games is better, fight me. We experienced a legit renneissance of YA lit in the last 30 years and there are people out here sleeping on Redwall and the Outsiders. I dont even mind that they read at the same level as a 12 year old. @bookstodon#HarryPotter
