1/ Matrix algebra felt abstract—until I applied it to biology.

Now it's everywhere in my code, from RNAseq to proteomics.

Let me show you.

Congrats Kanishk!! Science-U-Mah?

A busy and momentous week for the Jain Lab! We did our first bit of science (minipreps 😅) and the lab grew with joining of its first two members: research staff Tiffany Engel and Michael Lent!

I know it's fashionable at the moment to take a stinky dump on UMAP plots, so I'm going to try a different tack ..

@NicoBirkholz @TommasoGritti @RocketLab @SpireGlobal @NorthStarEandS @Peter_J_Beck @daveginvesting @BuyloRen The only issue I have with this is that they guided for full year 2024. Investors judge companies based on their guidance.

If they only hit 18 launches, they need to not guide so far in the future so they can absorb delays out of their control.

But I'm not worried yet
