Was it worth it?

I'll let you decide that for yourself 😅

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

@JessRoot1 I see someone finally got to listen to it!

[UT MD Anderson @UTMDAnderson]

What are the latest advances in single cell profiling? Our Dr. Abbas Hussein outlined five applications of this technology. @HusseinAbbasLab @AACR #AACR24 #EndCancer

Deleted my previous post asking for help. My parents found someone with a satellite communicator and were able to send me a message that they are safe!

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

Was on a video call with my parents, who were showing me the beautiful scenery around their hotel and got cutoff right after my mom said it seemed like an earthquake was happening. They're at the Taroko Gorge in Taiwan. I'm sure they're okay, but this is insane.

Hello 64 GB RAM computer, run this app that requires up to 100 GB RAM locally so i don't have to write a script for the server please and thank you. #bioinformatics

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

How cool is this?!

The interior of the cell is a busy place, as seen by grazing incidence structured illumination microscopy at 30 frames per minute:
Lysosomes (green) can become corralled by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER, magenta), but can also remodel the ER when they are actively transported at high speed along microtubules (MTs, yellow). ER tubules are also remodeled directly when they associate with the growing or shrinking ends of MTs.

Huge thanks to @satijalab for putting on #singlecellgenomicsday. Learned so much from all the speakers!

[Alex Cagan @ATJCagan]

Talk by @austinhartman on comparisons of multiplexed in situ gene expression profiling technologies #singlecellgenomicsday

[Alex Cagan @ATJCagan]

Great talk from @IdoAmitLab on Zman-seq; tackling time in spatial and single-cell genomics #singlecellgenomicsday

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

Lovely presentation by @IdoAmitLab for #singlecellgenomicsday Learned a lot and can't wait to see more of zman-seq.

[Alex Cagan @ATJCagan]

Talk by @YanayRosen on Universal Cell Embeddings - a foundation model for cell biology #singlecellgenomicsday

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

Congrats to my mentor on another well-earned grant!!

[Hussein Abbas @HusseinAbbasLab]

As a 1st-year med-onc fellow in 2020, I received the Ladies Leukemia League (LLL) grant. Despite its modest sum (~$30K), it was pivotal for my research and securing further funding. Fast forward to 2024, LLL once again believed in a new idea of mine, uniquely funding it.

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

Genes are not dates - YES!! This drives me absolutely insane. #singlecellgenomicsday

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

I am loving the illustrations from @ATJCagan for #singlecellgenomicsday

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

Credit to @danilexn and Marie Schott from the Rajewsky Lab for this wonderful talk!

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

Open-ST looks insane. For my non-tech friends - this technology looks tissue sections at a cellular level in 3D. This is stuff that i never dreamed would be a reality back in the college days! #singlecellgenomicsday

[Poonam Desai @poonamndesai]

Recent immune dictionary paper showed how rare cell populations produce a high number of cytokines highlighting the importance of id'ing rare cell types - which @CalebLareau is covering right now at #singlecellgenomicsday
