I'm #PhDone! So incredibly thankful for everyone at the Schultz lab, Clinical Data Mining, @GSKGradSchool @CompOncMSK for your amazing support during the past years. It took a village to get here - I could not have done it without you!

[GSK Graduate School @GSKGradSchool]

Congratulations to GSK PhD student @phoscience in the lab of Nikolaus Schultz, for defending her thesis entitled "Methods For Clinical Feature Abstraction and Driver Mutation Annotations Improve Utility of Real-World Cancer Data"

[Khoa Vu @KhoaVuUmn]

It took me a long time but I finally learned how to focus only on things that I can control, such as my mental health and the number of fixed effects I can add to my regression.

@NewHavenDOT We called PD twice today about our car and one operator said they had no information, the other said PD "is not in charge of parking." Our ticket online had no information about towing companies. Left a voicemail with TT&P. When should we expect to find it?

@MayorElicker We called PD twice today about our car and one operator said they had no information, the other said PD "is not in charge of parking." Our ticket online had no information about towing companies. Should it be this hard getting our car back?

[Nikos Konstantinides @nkonst4]

I am very excited to present to you my last paper from @ClaudeDesplan's lab. A fun collaboration with @tonymrossi that started many years ago, when we were trying to find ways to identify all transcription factors in the temporal series of the medulla neuroblasts.

When I grow up, I'd wanna be like Claude. He's smart, funny, inspiring, and by making time for me when I was a lowly undergrad, he convinced me that a career in science would be the best career. Thank you, Claude.

[Thinh Tran @phoscience]

My Master's thesis is now published! I laughed, cried and almost quitted along the way, but I had the best mentors to keep me going. Thank you @garybader1 and everyone in the Bader lab esp. @PatternsNGames @InnesBrendanT - this could never happen without you.

Our @ruth_isserlin @garybader1 paper: showing how cell cycle duration can fine tune cell number, cell diversity and cell proportion in a developing tissue.

[David Nusinow @dnusinow]

@GygiLab Many biologists are interested in how well RNA and protein expression correlate. We confirmed that they have middling correlation on average (~0.5). But the scope of these data let us ask this on a per-gene level across many tissue lineages. (3/13)

[Rahul Satija @satijalab]

Interested in single cell genomics but need help getting started? Check out the agenda for my lab's free workshop next Friday. Very excited that we will be livestreaming all talks with the support of @cziscience! Please RT and spread the word! https://t.co/zG98gkckMU
