I'm not sure what portion of community members are in bio-labs, so let me know if y'all like Niko McCarty's blog posts. I was thinking of linking Niko McCarty and Sebastian Cocioba posts if that's something that'd be of interest to the community.

So far I get the impression that the community is a bit older than on reddit, but it's hard to say what will be liked.
