The 1000 genomes bucket is open to the public, so you don't need to clone it for your own purposes. Any data you generate will need to be in your own bucket.

No, they are not. Speaking from personal experience. I use my Macbook Air at work and to do heavy duty document writing/coding, and my Macbook Pro for recording music and photo post processing. At home or on the move, when I don't need to

Not required any more. I haven't plugged my iPad into a computer in months. Everything has been over the air, including OS updates.

I did a PhD (not in CS) because I wanted to understand a set of scientific problems in depth, do the research, understand setting up experiments, monitoring them, etc. There are other ways, but it takes 2-3 years of semi-structured work to

I grew up in a house full of books, have been reading since I was a wee lad, but today, you would have to pry my Kindle out of my hands. I read more than ever, and enjoy being able to carry my library with me, whether it be non-fiction, sc

It's amazing how big IF has become over the years. I don't recall a single discussion in grad school (in the late 90's) where we ever sat down and discussed the IF of journals we wanted to publish in. Unfortunately I am not sure all the cu
