I always vote, because my immigrant parents taught me what an important right (and privilege) it is.
I cast this vote as a scientist, and also for my kids and for the right to the healthcare I needed and was fortunate to get when I had a miscarriage in 2006.

I just wrote up a technical blog post about #contrasts in #DESeq2. I expanded on some ideas from the vignette. It is not perfect but hopefully, it will solve some paint points and help with common analyses. Enjoy! https://t.co/PIhqFtbKoX

There really is no excuse for why Python packaging is so atrociously awful. R does it better. Rust does it better. Hell, even Lua-based Vim extensions work better. How is it possible it is this bad? Millions of collective hours wasted fighting this.

Plotgardener replaces the need to use Illustrator to post-edit plots and figures. Use R for figure/plot edits and precise placement of annotation.

Happy pi day!

I had planned to make a video about how the π in the formula for the normal distribution is related to the central limit theorem, but what started as a "quick review" of the CLT expanded into, well, a 30-minute primer. Enjoy!

The United States is such a capable, competent society. It can do so many things nobody else can do. If it fails at something vital that almost everybody else can do, it’s not because Americans can’t. It’s because very powerful people in this society are determined: they won’t.

I'd like to show Justice Alito what it's like to pull a fetal skull out of the abdomen from a botched 18 week abortion done by someone with no training, but I truly believe it wold have no effect on him

The Serrano Lab is opening its doors! @CReM_Boston! Lots of boxes and a long to-do list. Grateful for the kind and supportive community here @BU_Tweets helping navigate the unknowns 😅

Any tips you had or wished you’d had during this transition? #AcademicTwitter #NewPI

the key point is:

Batch correction methods cannot distinguish between technical and biological effects

don't forget, multiplexing really, really helps!

The Utah legislature divided up Salt Lake County into four pieces so people like me wouldn’t have representation in Congress. Instead, we’ll have four R congresscritters representing the interests of their rich donor buddies.

It’s corruption, pure and simple.#utpol #utleg

Deinstitutionalization was to be replaced with outpatient care and community mental health clinics. Instead, many individuals with severe mental health issues fall into the criminal justice system. I think this is one of the greatest human rights abuses occurring in the US today:
