What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.

[Nadine Vastenhouw @NVastenhouw]

It’s finally out! The PhD work and first first author paper of @MartinoUgolini: https://t.co/tm5MSGQkOA. Congrats to all co-authors @mkierun, @lanoliin, Hiroshi Kimura, and Haruka Oda for the beautiful work! We also thank @cSabrya @NatureCellBio for the pleasant review process.

[Zamin Iqbal @ZaminIqbal]

Amazing results from @sergekoren. Near perfect assembly of human, ont only.
"We found the accuracy of Duplex data to be similar to HiFi sequencing, but with read lengths tens of kb longer, .... assemblies have a base accuracy exceeding 99.999% (Q50) and near-perfect continuity"

[Michael Baym @baym]

Honestly this is probably the single best advice for making it through grad school or a postdoc as well. Just get stuff done. It may feel smart to critique things well, it may even be useful, but ultimately you are judged on what you've gotten done

[Bo Wang @BoWang87]

couldn’t agree more about the need for more computational biologists. More importantly, we must ensure they receive the recognition and support they deserve. Their work should never be dismissed as merely “just service”. Additionally, I’d like to remind everyone of the excellent paper titled ‘All Biology is Computational Biology’. 🧬 💻

[Alan Kelly @akellyucc]

This is fascinating- same paper sent out to huge pool of reviewers under different names. 23% recommended “reject” when a prominent researcher was the only author shown, 48% when the paper was anonymized, and 65% when a little-known author was the only author shown

[Computational Biology Unit, Bergen @cbu_bergen]

Our warmest congratulations to Håkon Tjeldnes who successfully defended his PhD thesis "Unraveling the Mysteries of the Translatome", supervised by Prof. Eivind Valen @eviledv

How to build a successful research institute, from the UK/Europe perspective. In the US, @RockefellerUniv is another great example.

Key feature in common: “Let scientists focus on the science with a proactive and communicative administration”

This is absolutely bananas.

There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable.

But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages?

Nope.

[Piero Carninci @carninci]

I’m looking for a computational biologists for my group at RIKEN to work with us on many new data in the FANTOM project, including ONT long reads on RNA and DNA, icSHAPE, PARIS, RNA and Chromatin interactions, feel free to contact me at #RNA23. Details: https://t.co/nvuA64M74k
