#TodayInScience I'm starting two weeks of Arenavirus modelling to catch up on getting the work from my master thesis (2021) finally published. (1/2)

Today in Science – December 10

On this day in 1901, the first Nobel Prizes were awarded in Stockholm and Oslo. Established by Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel’s will, the prizes honored achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Peace.

I tried to be polite to this whiny jerk but was forced to block him. I guess he recycles "Ezra + Number"?

People, do not give me a reason to go to war with you. ⚔️

After a long time off for health reasons, it's finally time for #TodayInScience again:
🦴 #ProgPal2024 day 4 (my talk is in session 4)
🦴 more sorting my coding projects
🦴 hopefully some actual work on that lit review

#TodayInScience
It's Bornavirus day!
That is, if I feel awake enough after my double shift at the bill paying job.

#TodayInScience
- I'm moving all my input files into 1 folder and I'm resetting setwd() to see if that will fix the bug I'm getting.

#TodayInScience
🎉 It's Emerging Infectious Diseases reading day
I'd like to once again plug to read journals in your field by issue in order. You come across all kinds of cool papers.

#TodayInScience
🗺️ collaboration meeting
🗺️ redefining the input for some maps
🗺️ pull some data for project Afrotheria
🗺️ send the MSEIRLC model to a collaborator
🗺️ physics seminar in Wuppertal

#TodayInScience
🎉 Graduation!
🎉 Generate some fossil maps
🎉 Send the code I've been struggling to debug to my collaborator

#TodayInScience
🦴 The PBDB query is a little too long, so I'll habe to split it into 3 instead of 4
🦴 I have to decide which Afrotheria genomes to download and work on a query
🦴 I'm flying back to Dublin to go to my graduation

#TodayInScience
No science today. Some days, my asthma gets so bad I cough up tiny bits of blood from the attacks. Today was one of those days.

#TodayInScience
I rewrote the model into a function but it's still telling me that one of the input variables is undefined. If anyone would like to see me despair about this you just have to catch the correct train.

I'm travelling again, so I'm working on a train which means time will feel meaningless and everything feels a little cosier
#TodayInScience
- adding a seasonal aspect to the litter size in a disease transmission model
- collect a DIGS screening set and host genomes for a study

#TodayInScience
🦴 reprioritize my major research tasks now that one has been completed
🦴 prep the summer palaeovirology lit review
🦴 read some EID papers

#TodayInScience
- VCWAP day 2 🦴🏺
- timetree building for a virus fossil calibration 🧬
- funding search 💸
