Wow, incredible opportunity for a new Head of fermentation etc at Garden Path. Whoever takes it, please collaborate with me! gardenpathwa.com/2026/03/10/j...
I was about 10, and it was blindingly obvious to me that the idea of a powerful deity that was supposed to be good was preposterous for many obvious reasons. It still is, and I've never looked back.

Today's conference spam invited me to present at a meeting in Dubai for just €450! No, I don't think I will.

It’s not even the top 1% of labs, because it’s entirely stochastic at the 1st percentile. They’re all good, but likely no better than anything else in the top 10%.

Excited to share this preprint that describes my latest work on using GPUs to accelerate processing of RNA-seq data.
The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... and github github.com/pachterlab/k...

I had fun writing this N&Vs on two fascinating new papers on centromere evolution in yeast. If you’re interested in how centromeres adapt yet stay functional, here’s my take. rdcu.be/e6DD0 @nature.com @gautamdey.bsky.social @gsherloc.bsky.social @helsenjana.bsky.social @maxhaase.bsky.social

$300 Million in jet planes lost to a fuckup.
That’s 83 five year NIH R01 grants burned in minutes due to error, aka poor execution of this unnecessary war which serves only to make the world more dangerous.
Exciting announcement! My new department is launching a postdoc fellowship in quantitative biology. Fellows will be co-advised by two Bio faculty, one that is quant focused (not me) and one that is not (me???). I would love to co-sponsor a postdoc and build a collaboration so please reach out!
I don’t use X any more, but a while back I posted a thread on my good fortune to work with David, which captures how he could give people opportunities and let them run with them
x.com/gsherloc/sta...
However, more than that, he was an incredible mentor, training dozens of grad students and postdocs, many of whom went on to train another generation of scientists. His impact will continue to be felt for decades to come. I miss him, and his memory is a blessing. 2/
I was sad to learn that my postdoctoral mentor, David Botstein, died yesterday. I started with David as a postdoc in 1998, and he had a profound effect on both my life and scientific career. He was a giant in the field of genetics, making seminal contributions in both yeast and human genetics. 1/
Don’t miss four impactful lectures at #Yeast26!
