@MFongNg Congratulations!

[Dr. Jean Fan @JEFworks]

Every year, I give my lab (and myself) a "mini-sabbatical" to travel, decompress, pursue creative endeavors outside of regular work/studies.

So I spent some time learning video/audio + made a short film about my thoughts on teaching:

Is there anyone in the system of Cornell arXiv?

[Brandon Yeo @Brandon_yeoph]

Was planning to submit a pre print to arXiv, but is in need of an endorsement of anther research to validate my account. is there anyone is is kind enough to help endorse my account?

a quote from Morgan Housel in "The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness"

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensisble optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favour, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery.

Do you know any good papers that I can use it to practice the Monocle 3 analysis? #monocle #pseudotime

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

My latest video to share with you some powerful approaches:

Had myself learning about the risk and concerns of AI safety (mainly about GPT-4 and its descendants), thanks for guiding me various perspectives, and I see hope and hope that there’s more compulsory AI safety course/seminar in every school

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Here's my conversation with Max Tegmark (@tegmark), his 3rd time on the podcast. We discuss AGI, AI safety, nuclear war & the open letter (he co-led) calling for the halting of further development of large AI systems for 6 months. This was fascinating! https://t.co/MUQ3cZbj83

ChatGPT is not necessarily accurate. The references I asked to show are mostly with faulty DOI or not existing at all. Don’t be like me, don’t use it (at least for the moment) for your scientific writing :P

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

Kallisto + velocyto.R unlocked 😃
Finally understood a bit about Anaconda, Python language, and Ubuntu ways of running the scripts

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

@Hanifkhankhatak @Brandon_yeoph High five 😁

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

Something I wish I knew earlier, to master it in a more systematically way :)

cBioPortal for Human Cancer Genomics and why you should analyze the source data yourself

[Brandon Yeo @Brandon_yeoph]

Something all scRNA-Seq people should probably check out https://t.co/0WvUMHWfWl

FUN FACT: Seurat package is named after a famed artist, Georges Seurat, his painting style is about integrating discrete dots into a painting, e.g. orange and blue, pink and green, next to each other, to get strong color contrast. #Seurat #scRNAseq #Satijalab #Pointillism

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

It was my recent little discovery that AverageExpression() function in Seurat Package transforms the expression values differently from the normalised count data, did you know about it long ago or not? https://t.co/UKkOzZpZAm

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

@Hanifkhankhatak Same here , glad to know it 😆🤝

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

I spent a whole night to figure out how to obtain a “prognosis risk score” for a set of genes 😆 I assumed there would be a R function to do, but wasn’t.

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

@Hanifkhankhatak Haha I assume many scientists knew well about it and thus hardly found the QnA in the forum 😂

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

@Hanifkhankhatak Thank you Dr Hanif, so glad that you like it 😃

[LianChee Foong @LianFoong]

I love this ~
