Woo! posit::conf(2026) started this morning and I am super happy and grateful to be a Posit Opportunity Scholar this year!

I am starting the week attending the Modern R Workflow Workshop taught by Jenny Bryan and Hadley Wickham

Excited to share that the second project from my time at
@LieberInstitute with @lcolladotor is now published! This was such a rewarding collaboration to be part of. 💡🧠
Huge congrats to @lahuuki and all co-authors!

Big news! Our paper from @LieberInstitute ‘Transcriptomic Analysis of the Human Habenula in Schizophrenia,’ is the cover story for the American Journal of Psychiatry’s November issue! 🧠 🍂#HabenulaLIBD #snRNAseq #Habenula

You never know who you’ll meet, how a random introduction could lead to a new door being opened, realizing what we share, what new ideas or points of view can help us solve challenges, & how reenergizing these opportunities are to step back from the🌲 & look at the forest

It’s always an honor to run into fellow @lcgunam @lcgejunam alumni! 🤩

It reminds me of the privilege & tremendous support we got early in our careers from @UNAM_MX 🇲🇽

At the same time, I’d love to see more #LatAm researchers and there’s lots of gaps to close 📈🤜🏽🤛🏽

On #8M in Mexico, the streets are filled with women fighting for justice, for rights, for safety. They are all screaming the names of the women we've lost. Today isn't a happy day; it's a day of resistance.

I’m excited to share our first human habenula study comparing transcriptomic data from neurotypical control postmortem tissue and schizophrenia cases! 🧠 #HabenulaLIBD #snRNAseq #Habenula

This is my first paper as co-corresponding author!

It's also the 2nd and last paper with @SubmarineGene from her brief but very productive months she spent working with us in 2023

It's an example of @lcgunam alumni 10+ years apart (3rd and 16th class) working together

[🇲🇽 Leonardo Collado-Torres @lcolladotor]

I'm enthused to share this work with all of you!

This #HabenulaLIBD 🧠analysis we started with @JoshuaMStolz & Erik, continued w/ Ege, Bukola, @SubmarineGene is now out 🙌🏽

It's a pleasure to share co-corresponding author w/ @lahuuki & @kr_maynard

1st one of many for Louise! ⏫

[Mateo Maya-Martínez @mateomayam]

I’m so happy to share that my first scientific paper as a (co)-first author is finally out! 🧬

Thank you @mrenteria_ for trusting me and letting me be a part of this project, and @LM_garciamarin for being such an incredible mentor <3

Go check it out! https://t.co/8UnxSPb1N5

So proud to be part of this project! It was an amazing experience 🧠🐭

Congrats @rodriguez_lion and @mattntran!!
Thanks @lcolladotor, @CerceoPage and @martinowk for the opportunity!

Now.. When should I visit Baltimore to celebrate? 🦀😁

apparently i’ve been saying “f*ck us” instead of “focus” during lectures :)))

i really do love English, i do :))))

The MX Biobank paper is out today in @Nature! This is the first national-scale genomic database in Mexico and the largest independent project led by my lab @cinvestav since I returned to my home country to help building local capacity. https://t.co/uXt4xhYkhT

#tbt A few weeks ago I presented the thought-provoking preprint “A study of gene expression in the living human brain” at @lcolladotor's Journal Club 🧠

I am glad to share our paper published today in @NatureComms assessing the impact of whaling and isolation on the genetic diversity of fin whale populations. We did a genomic and simulation analysis of 50 fin whale genomes. https://t.co/PwfETUlLXH

we are learning Python and people are throwing shade on R and I’m just like… the R stands for ‘R rocks’ so please shush
