This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Seeking a position in genomics/genetics/bioinformatics by NGIrish09
I'm looking both in academia and in industry for a permanent position. Currently a postdoc studying crop genetics at Colorado State University. Skills tend towards the evolutionary side, but capable of handling, manipulating, and analyzing any Big Data set. Fluent in Python, R, and Unix, currently learning Perl. My github page is linked with programs primarily designed to aid in DNA sequence manipulation and analysis. I've got extensive teaching experience, and would prefer positions with mentorship opportunities. If you know of anything that might be up my alley, please shoot me an email and I can provide a CV, some sample writing, and appropriate references.
