SARS-CoV-2 provides an unprecedented opportunity to watch evolution occur in real time. It also happens to be showing the pervasiveness of many misconceptions about evolution, even among scientists with limited knowledge of evolutionary biology. Here's a list and explanations. 🧵

I am excited to win a CZI EOSS grant! This is the first grant I have ever won after 20 years in science. It feels wonderful to finally be funded for my open-source contributions. With @wytamma we will deliver the next generation of my popular Snippy software! 🦘🦘🦘
Open source tools are crucial for biomedical research. We're collaborating with @KavliFoundation @Wellcometrust to support developers & maintainers of critical #OpenSource projects, promoting innovation & community engagement in the field. More ▶️ czi.co/3zjN56l

New major version of SPAdes - very exciting!

Unicycler isn't under active development anymore (as you can see from all the unanswered issues 😢), but I did just push a quick fix to make it work with SPAdes v4:
