Conference season thoughts #3 – Hosting a conference
This is part 3 in a series of posts this summer conference season. It isn’t aimed at one particular LOC – I know how hard they all work – but intended as a general reflection. I’ve been to god-knows how … Continue reading
Conference thoughts #2: Chairs, earn your ticket!
There are good chairs and bad. Surprisingly (or not, this is academia, after all..) there’s little guidance. I’ve put together a list: Start as you mean to go on. Remind speakers to keep to time (see next point) and encourage questions … Continue reading

Conference thoughts #1: PIs, support your students!
Summer conference season is nearly over. This is the first of three posts, informed by some reflections about the nature of scientific conferences. Students often feel under a lot of pressure when giving their first public presentations. PIs, for whom a … Continue reading
Why Trump is right on defence spending… and wrong
It’s all over the press this week: Trump wants all NATO members to spend 4% of their GDP on defence – a doubling of the previously-agreed 2% target (which many countries don’t meet). To me this seems pretty wrong, for … Continue reading
I’m a programmer – and driverless cars scare the hell out of me
Tech-savvy developer types often ride bikes, and often instinctively back the idea of robot vehicles. After all, the subconscious asks, if I can code a computer to play a game, what’s so hard about getting it to move around a … Continue reading

Rapid, raw-read reference and identification (R4IDs): A flexible platform for rapid generic species ID using long-read sequencing technology.
Our paper on rapid identification of samples using partial, low-coverage, MinION-sequenced reference databases for ID (at the Kew Science Festival) is in preprint. See here on BiorXiv: doi: 10.1101/281048. In it, we show (with empirical data and simulation) that the … Continue reading

Read all about it!
Dead excited to say our Nature Science Reports paper on field-based DNA extraction, sequencing (and a bit of analysis) has been picked up by the BBC World Service and The Times (UK) newspaper! You can read all about it here … Continue reading
Tent-seq: the paper (aka ‘field-based, real-time phylogenomics’)
Really proud to report that the first of our bona fide real-time phylogenomics papers is now out in Scientific Reports! In the paper we managed to show a number of things that are potentially really exciting, and I’ll get to … Continue reading
