Today, we are proud to release Rainflow! 🌈⛈️☔️

Rainflow is a Desktop application for macOS designed to help researchers with reproducible analysis and integration of their Flow Cytometry data.

Rainflow is available on the App Store now: https://t.co/l7SJzWLCwN

We're proud to share that lab member @Tulachin's work on automating ARDS detection was published in @NatureComms!

The team developed an NLP/machine learning-based algorithm that can outperform clinicians in identifying this life-threatening ICU condition.

A study identifies the footprint of entities cooperating to produce scientific fraud at scale, including paper mills and brokers. The number of fraudulent publications is growing far faster than legitimate publications. In PNAS: https://t.co/cGHJqJzOuf

Congrats @spencercodes on a great thesis seminar!

"@ScienceMagazine and Retraction Watch’s investigation suggests authors, journals, and institutions all benefit from the scheme, which floods the literature with poor-quality publications and casts doubt on metrics of scholarly output and impact." https://t.co/JL89mGf1H4

Often find myself thinking of this great paper by @AmaralLab back in 2018 on why most of the genome is ignored

And came across this gem from last year on 'unknowmics' by Sean Munro @CellBiol_MRCLMB

Our own Reese Richardson just defended his PhD thesis and received his program's Outstanding Dissertation award! Way to go, Dr. Richardson! 🎊

Thanks to the big event, we finally have an updated lab photo! Some people could not make it and were scaled up by 1000% as penance. 😊

We hope you give it a read!
