May's #beadwork projects!

So much fun helping to organize the 5th Annual KU Center for Genomics Research Symposium! Last Friday (May 8th) was the largest research symposium in KUCG history - with 250+ attendees, 100+ posters, and 20+ talks. What a fun event!!

So, turns out I was attempting to teach myself to code incorrectly for years. And when I figured that out, it suddenly got a lot easier. This video was pretty instrumental in helping to fix that, so I'm passing it along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=azcr...

The White House’s April 3 budget proposal would reduce NSF & NIH funding significantly. Our analysis shows that the U.S. stands to lose $35 billion in economic activity and 150,000 jobs nationwide. See impacts on your local community: scienceimpacts.org #SCIMaP #NIH #NSF #SciencePolicy
