Amazing experience, to witness a full total solar eclipse in such a privileged nature corner of Catalonia.

About to live my first total solar eclipse in Corbera d'Ebre, in Catalonia, at the Iberian peninsula.

Just gonna put this out there. ISMB dictating that all presentations be in PowerPoint 365 and not accepting PDF is both the morally and technically WRONG decision. It's absurd!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Given the recent and ongoing service interruptions in PubMed, National Library of Medicine, NIH Reporter, etc., I put together a status page that covers a few key resources and some NIH institute pages. stats.uptimerobot.com/Zrqh8AhvKn Let me know what other sites you'd like to see added.

HT to Sean Davis for creating a status page for NIH websites: stats.uptimerobot.com/Zrqh8AhvKn - simultaneous worth sharing and sad.
