The missing #GigaScience blog post https://gigasciencejournal.com/blog/and-its-goodbye-from-me/ is back - a little good news.

I now have a #RogueScholar DOI https://doi.org/10.59350/5tx49-ez696 for my recent blog post (and the back catalog - thank you!) about owners BGI gutting the #GigaScience journal team, and then censoring the out going editor’s retrospective blog post (which happily is also archived).
