  5. #JGIUM7 CZ: these days each genome has it's own press release
  6. @carlzimmer: "We’re at this amazing point now where there have been an awful lot of #genomes #sequenced" #JGIUM7
  7. #JGIUM7 @carlzimmer: Human genome was supposed to "change medicine forever" - when exactly does "forever" start?
  8. #JGIUM7 CZ: diagnosed self with YAGS ( Yet another Genome Syndrome) (named by @phylogenomics )
  9. #JGIUM7 CZ: scientists don't appreciate how public sees results - creationists claim biologists are wrong about evolution - 'cause gorilla
  10. #JGIUM7 - public doesn't see that lots of science is work in progress -from @carlzimmer
  11. #JGIUM7 CZ: 3 strains of E coli (o1h57, k12, and one that causes urinary tract infections)- but they only share 39% of their genes

  15. #JGIUM7 CZ: scientists are part of our society - they should be able to communicate with the rest

  17. #JGIUM7 @carlzimmer: Citizen Science is a huge opportunity (in response to a #diybio question) #citsci
  18. I like the 'why does bioinformatics get lost' “@phylogenomics: Visual notes from @CarlZimmer talk today at the #JGIUM7 phylogenomics.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/note-m…
