Troubleshooting bead cleanups on WGS libraries with no magnetic plate. Some broken magnets, JBweld, and a random tip rack did the trick.
Anyone have 3D printer plans for DIY magnetic prep plates? Labs could buy a chunk of an NGS lane with the money saved…

Finally, some fossil-based age estimates for most Adephaga major lineages! Also combining UCE, RNAseq and WGS is doable and very useful. Cool team effort led by @StephenMBaca with @GreyTGustafson, @laninsky and @HarlanGough onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Biology is Awesome:
I propose a new full-credit course offering @UChicago for international students threatened by the ICE ruling. We will meet in person, fully distanced, on the athletic fields, for a lecture over the PA system, with readings and discussion on awesome biology.

Scientists being bros. The labs of Haworth KU answered the state’s call for extraction supply donations for #COVID19 testing. There was a whole other pallet upstairs and more coming. @TheShortLab joined @KU_EEB, @kunhm and others at @UnivOfKansas to pitch in.
