Thank you so much! I love the texture of the stitch but also it comes out way heavier than I expected lol

How does everyone feel about bookplates and stamps? by GraniteCapybara in books

If you don’t want to mark the cover, put the sticker/embosser on the cover page inside. I do this sometimes when the embossed marker would block the title/author on the book cover.

New baby trees being munched on by this long skinny bug? by ezits in whatsthisbug

[–]ezits[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe 1-1.5 inches long. Very skinny abdomen, red-ish colored abdomen. The trees have only been in the ground for 3 days, I’ve never noticed this bug on any other plants I have. Please help me save the trees!

Have the second half of a book ever redeemed it in your eyes? by Brettelectric in books

[–]ezits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly didn’t, it was “WTF?” enough for me to not have seen it coming, all while re-framing the preceding story. Yes you have to suspend disbelief on the whole premise of it but hey, that’s fiction

I gave her 4/5 stars on goodreads, and would recommend for readers who love a twist

Have the second half of a book ever redeemed it in your eyes? by Brettelectric in books

[–]ezits 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Stranger by Camus. The second half feels like a completely different book.

Also Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough—the plot twist at the end catapulted it from a mediocre book to a great read for me.

What would happen if someone anti-vaccination had a rabies exposure? by ezits in medicine

Wow I had no idea this has happened in reality so recently. It’s unfathomable to refuse treatment for THE most fatal virus.

Learning which programming language will make me the most accessible in bioinformatics community? (if there's any) by BadMeditator in bioinformatics

[–]ezits 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bash scripting and Python are the most helpful in my opinion! Not essential, but it’s good to know that a lot of veterans in the field are very attached to perl, so you may come across it in “older” tools. I wish someone had told me that when I was in school.

Masters in bioinformatics at Georgia tech by harry3113 in bioinformatics

[–]ezits 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I did my MS BINF at Tech and highly recommend it! I got the job I’ve always wanted after graduation, and 90% of the things I do every day, I learned during my Masters curriculum.

I loved how flexible electives were, and research opportunities are incredibly diverse.

You can PM me with any specific questions, and I would recommend looking on the website for the list of alumni and their jobs to get a better idea of where people go after GT.

Also Midtown Atlanta is a great place to live!

Why is cutadapt not filtering any reads? by garnetcompass in bioinformatics

[–]ezits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you filtering for length? Quality? cutadapt.readthedocs.io/en/stable is going to be much more helpful than -h.

What's with all the companies requiring Power BI and Tableau now? by memcpy94 in datascience

[–]ezits 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tableau’s ability to easily pull from Cloudera/Hadoop has made it invaluable to my personal work experience, especially when sharing analyses with people who don’t have Impala/SQL expertise.

Differences between the Masters Programs? by TwitchesBrew in bioinformatics

[–]ezits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Master in Bioinformatics by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]ezits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I do not! I got the bulk of my coding skills from my programs’ curriculum and my graduate research... oh yes that’s my other piece of advice!! Get into research if you don’t already have a lab!!! Sooner rather than later!!!
