So excited to see my and @uzquiano_a's work on an expansive cortical brain organoid single cell atlas come out today in @CellCellPress! You can find the final paper here free for the next 50 days: https://t.co/hvOLikyR3E

Did @10xGenomics just make newer versions of Cell Ranger open source? https://t.co/5aGEEN9dL8 (cc @sjackman, @luizirber). This is a huge win for open, transparent, and reproducible science if it’s the case!

Bittersweet to say my last publication from @ArlottaLab & @jzlevin 's groups is out! What a fantastic team to work with ❤️ Click through to learn about our follow up on another mutated ASD risk gene in human brain organoids.

Harvard loses no time in calling attention to the loophole saying they will comply with it.

@ChrisMartey @CV_UHB @HEIW_NHS Congrats! A place where you'll really make a difference :D

Incredibly proud to see our benchmark of single-cell preprocessing methods finally published 🥳🥳🎉

We show that despite its theoretical limitations, no other transformation consistently outperforms log(y/s+1).

Pick Two:

- Call TWO state representatives to tell them that you support transgender rights and gender-affirming healthcare.

- Make a SM post that your extended family and your peers will see that shows adamant support for trans people.

- Donate money to the cause.

[MIT CSAIL @MIT_CSAIL]

MIT researchers recently developed Codon, a Python-based compiler that helps create new DSLs w/i the language.

The results: their code runs up to 100 times faster than regular Python.

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal.

It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability.

It did not.

It's frustrating reading comp bio articles these days because many keep falling into the same pitfalls. Hard to know if the method actually works, or whether they messed up the evaluation. Here are some issues I've seen recently (w/o names):

“Feminism is supposed to be about equality” no it isn’t. It’s about liberation. I don’t want to be treated like a man. Y’all are not the blueprint. What I do want is to be free of mens’ power and influence in determining how I’m treated *as a human being*

Thrilled to share my primary PhD work: a Transcription Factor Atlas for understanding gene regulation and cell engineering @CellCellPress. We created a comprehensive TF ORF library and applied it to profile resulting expression changes. A thread 1/X https://t.co/PPcJ0HZEsW
