Excited to share this preprint that describes my latest work on using GPUs to accelerate processing of RNA-seq data.

The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv https://t.co/2JrOfsxNFV

Figure 1 shows they key result

Molecular dynamics simulations in mixed reality!

With @labriataphd and @lucien_krapp we’re scaling our multi-user WebXR platform to enable immersive molecular simulations, fully based on web technologies.

Stay tuned, lots of cool stuff coming soon!

Here's a fun paper by a Stanford econ JMC on grade school math teachers. Looking at AMC data matched to Linkedin, paper finds that even just decent, above-average middle/high school math teachers dramatically increase students' AMC scores: top AMC scorers increase by 165%!

@reynoldsgareth Reminds of the time I ordered the "big mamajama" not knowing it was meant for groups of young 20-somethings. I had to drink it all because I grew up poor.

Globally, tuna stocks are heavily over fished, but using the pole and line method benefits the ocean habitat being more sustainable vs other, more aggressive, fishing methods.

This is how pole and line tuna fishing is made.

"Beyond Steel Tanks" by @ElliotHershberg is a fascinating read. Some estimates say ~30M people will soon take GLP-1 weight loss drugs, but the total market size could be an order of magnitude larger. But how do you manufacture that much protein?
