New pre-prints! First up is @JulienneLaChan1's beautiful work: "Learning the rules of collective cell migration using deep attention networks"! Her networks analyze cell crowd behaviors in tissues and reveal some 'rules' for cell behavior! Check it out: https://t.co/7sAgdF4jaa
Today I start as an Assistant Professor as the @brattonlab opens in @VUMCPathology. My group will be at the intersection of computational biology, biophysics, and microbiology as we understand, manipulate, and leverage 3D organization in bacteria. Lab website coming soon!
My first postdoc paper is out in @NatureComms! With the Dalia lab, @cklanch, @shaevitz, and @zgitai1 we used Acinetobacter baylyi to find a new motor protein that powers pilus extension, and we also discovered a novel extension motor protein inhibitor! https://t.co/bP5DLifRAs
I am delighted to be co-organizing a winter conference on “The Dynamics of Social Interactions” with @oritpeleg and Sri Iyer-Biswas, March 27-April 1, 2022 at the Aspen Center for Physics @AspenPhysics. Mark your calendars for some great science and spring skiing. More info soon.
Very excited to announce that I'll be starting my lab as a Fellow at @salkinstitute!
Our emphasis will be in building deep learning-based models to tackle biological problems ranging from social behavior to plant development!

We are hiring! We are looking for someone experienced in molecular biology to help manage our molecular lab and build genomic datasets to study the genetic and environmental factors that shape variation in social behavior. More here: https://t.co/47Diu9W7Qq. Come join our team!
We are so grateful for @isabelinspace and @ThiagoTVarella's hard work: Ep 2 of The Highlights is out now!!🎙@talmop discusses grad school and his new research on automating observations of animal behavior using deep learning methods! https://t.co/mf8jak6SOi
Long overdue twit, but here is our preprint on how gene-by-environment interactions (GxE) re-shape the genetic basis of fitness-related traits (1/n) https://t.co/NlZGMAODlY
Excited to announce our new preprint using automated behavior measurements to study mouse models of autism. We find known and new differences in gait, perseveration, and adaptation. A great collaboration with Ugne Klibaite, @SamWangPhD and colleagues. https://t.co/ivdw23uuXd
and .. students: It's not too late to register for a tutorial (on Wednesday!), to help make the symposium lectures moore accessible: https://t.co/aPRYJcHJ64
In these hard times, Didong Li, Andy Jones, & I just posted a preprint on probabilistic contrastive PCA. In scientific applications, often we want to find directions of maximal variation in cases relative to controls. https://t.co/QonymO7tD2
Excited for our new preprint on the underpinnings of non-Markovian dynamics in animal behavior. A wonderful theory-experiment collaboration with @v_alba,@gordonberman, and @wbialek:

Last week all members of my lab attended the virtual @CSHL Microbiome meeting. In a normal year this would have cost >$20,000 (not feasible for us)
A huge advantage of online meetings is increasing access to science - lower cost, anyone can participate from anywhere in the world
Look at this beautiful subtitle!
"AI Applications Without a Ph.D."
You know why? Because that's exactly right! You do not need a Ph.D. to be a successful Deep Learning expert.
Yes. An expert!
This is @fastdotai book. I bought it. I'm going through it. It's great.
Ever wonder why some mosquitoes like biting you more than the animals nearby? What’s unique about human odor and how can mosquitoes tell the difference? By opening their heads and reading their minds, we now have some answers. https://t.co/OJii0cDNh2
