It’s not my world view, it’s the context of my area of interest, where it’s unlikely to be an issue. People can be whatever they want, have my blessing. It’s just the whole “pregnant person” vs “mother” debate started from the scientific po

I don’t think it’s political at all. It’s just that in my field trans people would very likely be outside of the scope of most studies. Genomics is still expensive and including someone on HRT is going to create outliers regardless whether

I don’t know how it’s in other countries, but Schufa is a monopolist and feels like simply paying a tax. You have no choice. Interestingly, I didn’t need a credit check to rent in Belgium and Denmark.

As I said, when talking science it’s not “a preference”, rather just stating a fact. I’m not advocating for the usage of exactly the same terms in other settings. Also, there’s a lot of getting offended on behalf of others these days. That’

I think there’s a lot of gate keeping and having some formal degree is a pre-requisite. And be advised that pay isn’t great either. But bioinformatics is an umbrella term. There’re so many different things people do. I started by identifyin

Because the identity politics has no meaning when we talk about biological phenomenon like pregnancy. We know that only members of female sex can get pregnant. The word “mother” is defined as female parent in a dictionary. So there’s nothin

As someone who practices bioinformatics, it doesn’t seem appealing. Bioinformatics is like 0.1% dealing with FASTQ files and the rest is using the ecosystem of libraries for statistics and plotting. Many of them in R, by the way.

Some people are just incapable of anything useful. But they sometimes get power and do unnecessary things. I noticed such groups are ferocious in justifying their existence.

I’ve been told stories of the German occupation of my grandparent’s village. My grandfather has been a slave worker on the German farm. The thing is, I personally can’t relate to any of that. It’s just like reading a book or watching a movi

Oslo isn’t that cold really. And Bergen is also Norway, however, it’s just a rainy place. I wonder how many EVs are there in Tromsø.
