Kids’ inaugural gala for @GovEvers and @TheOtherMandela!
When you elect a teacher governor, he doesn’t just use little ones as props. He throws a gala at the Children’s Museum and talks directly to the kids.
Q&A with kids. Child asks Tony Evers what he, as a kid, wanted to be when he grew up. Answers that he first job was scraping mold off cheese, which taught him what he *didn’t* want to do, so he became a teacher. #KidsGala
Mandela Barnes explains that he wanted to be a football player, but that when he got on the field, he discovered that “I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. So I became a community organizer.” #KidsGala

Obama, @AOC, @TheOtherMandela... I love that we’re electing organizers!
In lieu of a cocktail menu, these are your options at the #KidsGala

OMG. I missed this last week. The Trump admin is drawing up plans to gut Medicaid without passing a law.

Glad @SenBobCasey is on the case. Seems like a good one for @DemocraticAGs as well.
The GOP scheme is to put a hard cap on the amount of money a state can spend, and give them permission to deny people coverage and cut services. The term is "block grant." It's vicious, and it's a long-standing conservative dream.

Mary Poppins Returns is a powerful movie about the dangers of toxic financial products, foreclosure fraud, and predatory financiers—defeated at last by the organizing of young people, public employees, and domestic workers.
Mary Poppins Returns also illustrates how, when the chips are down, even the children of privilege will be destroyed by elites the next rung up if they don’t cast their lot with working people who refuse to accept the rules as they are and united to achieve the impossible.
Also, good songs.

Just finished watching Vice. You should see it. You'll laugh more than you expected. You'll end it reeling and furious.
There's a very strong case to be made that Trump isn't even the worst president of the 21st century. That dishonor belongs to Dick Cheney.
The story of Cheney—and particularly of the Iraq war—is so stunningly ugly that it partisans to tell it accurately. Hard to imagine it'll be told—that it's being told—properly in high school history classes. Kids, go see Vice.

Mother Church also rejoices in noting that throughout history the Lord has continued to reveal himself to the little and the humble, enabling his chosen ones, through the Spirit who "searches everything, even the depths of God"

Bon vue que c'est bientôt la fin de semaine, on reprend le thread sur mon sujet !!! #thèsolie
#thread #bioinformatique #assemblage
Je vous avez laissé avec quelque notions important, que je vais rappelé rapidement :

- Le séquençage c'est ce qui permet de lire la séquence ADN, mais on ne peut lire que des petits morceaux et on sais pas ou on lis du coup on est un peut embêté pour comprendre ce qu'on a lue
- L'assemblage c'est l'étape algorithmique qui vas permettre de reconstruire la séquence d'ADN d'origine a partir des morceaux qu'on a lue. On fais sa parce que les morceaux partage des séquences communes, sa s'appel des overlaps. Pour sa on utilise un graph d'assemblage

Bon aller je ne me suis pas encore présenté sur #thésolie et je crois bien être une des dernières a ne pas l'avoir fait donc c'est partie. Je suis une thèse en bioinformatique, non la bioinformatique c'est pas faire de l'informatique avec de la biologie c'est l'inverse !
On peut résumer sa: a l'ensemble des outils mathématiques, statistiques et informatiques pour la biologie. Vous pouvez lire cette page bioinfo-fr.net/aux-origines-d… ou celle-ci fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-infor… pour plus d'information !
C'est un domaine très large mais je vais parler que du miens l'assemblage des génomes. Et non désoler c'est pas mélanger des bouts de génome comme dans jurasic park . #gifAvecLiensTénu

CIA #Museum AotW: Flag that Flew Above the Glomar Explorer

This flag would have witnessed the stand-off of 3 Soviet vessels encircling the Glomar Explorer as they tried to discern why the American ship was anchored in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

1.usa.gov/XPudp7
March 1968: Soviet sub K-129, armed with nuclear ballistic missiles, sinks.
May 1968: US located sub about 1,500 miles NW of Hawaii.
Recognizing the value of the intel on Soviet strategic capabilities that would be gained if the sub were recovered, CIA agreed to lead recovery.
CIA’s mission: recover the 1,750-ton, 132-foot-long wrecked sub from more than 3 miles below the ocean surface… in total secrecy.

1970: CIA engineers & contractors concluded the only solution was to use a large mechanical claw to grab the sub & lift it.

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
