I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers,

and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵
I had the chance to introduce myself and my work on our Labs account! If you want to catch up or find out what i am doing have a quick look!
This is brilliant! Watch!

Announcement poster of the project Submersive Atmospheres presents: Underwater cinema. The picture on the poster is in different shades of green and shows a photograph from under the sea surface. We see the ripples of some waves at the top and a lighter, sandy ground at the bottom. We look into the distance. Additional text on the poster: 8 artists 8 ocean scientists 8 new short films From the 7th of December to the 22nd of December, daily from 1 to 8 pm in the Achternstraße 22 in Oldenburg. Admission is free. In the lower-left corner is a QR code you can scan for further information.
A little bit of promotion for the latest art-science/public communication project from our institute: Submersive Atmospheres: Unterwasser kino project.
For those in Oldenburg or close by from the 7th - 22nd of December, open 1-8pm everyday.
Four photos taken at the PhD defense of Pedro Carrasco. The first one shows him in front of the title page of his defense talk with the title "Computation of functional biodiversity from long-term monitoring time series". Underneath, we see him standing in front of his committee, ready to take on their questions. In the next picture we see a happy, smiling Pedro toasting with his colleagues and glasses of sparkling wine (we only see the hands and glasses of the colleagues). The last picture shows how he gets his doctor hat put on his head. In Germany it is tradition that the friends and colleagues craft the hat and put things on it that relate to the PhD's work and time in the institute as a reminder of things they experienced together. His head features references to diversity in fish and plankton communities as well as some results from his diffusion maps.
What's the best way to top off a great week? For us, it was celebrating Pedro Carrasco's successful PhD defense last Thursday. His research explored how diffusion maps can aid in computing functional biodiversity from long-term time series. Congratulations, Pedro! We are all incredibly proud of you!

JOBS: I have several open shorter-term postdoc positions in my lab that focus on the intersection of networks, artitficial intelligence and biodiversity. Some of these would be particularly suitable for people with Bio backgrounds, others are more Physicsy. DM me if interested.
Hey teachers! Our whale researchers have prepared two great presentations (in German) on Antarctic food webs and on echolocation and noise pollution. They will even hold the talks for your classes and are ready to answer questions. Terrific, isn’t it?!
