I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

Droplet-based sequencing is key to single-cell transcriptomics but faces challenges from bead synthesis errors. A new bead design with anchor sequences improves UMI identification, read recovery, and feature detection for both short- and long-read methods.
