Happy to share that I’ll be starting my lab as a junior group leader at the Georg-Speyer-Haus in Frankfurt in 2026. We’ll study how transcriptional regulators control neutrophil function in cancer. I’ll be hiring soon (PhD/lab tech), pls reach out if you know someone interested!

@Krusty_M_D @22xTJuan Lo que entiendo es que aquellos que hayan estudiado en universidades acreditadas por CONEAU ya no tienen que legalizar/apostillar el título via RREE para que se les sea reconocido el título.
Español
@22xTJuan Los títulos ya son válidos. Uno tiene que dar los exámenes de lincensure. No renovar título. No entiendo bien qué es esto.

Esta historia es fantástica. Es así como dicen? Un ecuatoriano podría ir a estudiar gratis a la UNC para tener un título válido en Alemania?

@elanarca Todo el mundo habla de Pink Floyd como banda progresiva pero lo que yo más rescato es cómo llevaron el blues al espacio.
Nada de escalas alteradas ni polirritmos onanistas. Puro folk y blues empaquetado en texturas y poesías que te erizan la piel.
Español
De las bandas totémicas, la mía es Pink Floyd. Nada de postureo hetero macho alfa. Tipos golpeados, depresivos, melancólicos. Sus canciones hablan de política, de los amigos, del paso del tiempo, de la alienación. No de cazar vulvas. Tango británico. Metafísica rioplatense.

@InsomniosAticos hermoso verso de Cazuza que ahora anda por toda la anglósfera y el hip-hop sin reconocer de dónde viene

This account endorses NICH as a valid pronunciation of niche.

@nathanwpyle Hi Nathan! Why hasn't this design been made into a t-shirt? I'd love to buy it!

The most important unexpected lesson of my PhD.

@ewanbirney There’s a second layer I had to learn (and find other quant-turned-biologists I teach struggle with) which is to not overthink before trying something—that there are so many unexpected twists you hit the limit of what you can plan by thinking much earlier than you expect

@AlGnWh Entré a Twitter nada más para ver cómo veías las victorias coperas de River, el Barça y Miami.

@moultano @paulg ggridges didn't replace ggjoy. They are the same package. @ClausWilke created the package (circa 2016-2017?) and renamed it upon learning what joy divisions were.
English
@paulg It will come down to whatever the library is named. "Joy plot" stuck around until people started naming libraries "ridgeplot" and now joy plot is declining despite the cool album cover.

If "Aella birthday format" lasts, it's going to be awkward explaining it to kids.

Our 🪐SATURN method is now out in @naturemethods!
SATURN paves the way for universal cell embeddings, enabling integration of datasets across different species 🐒🐁🧍🐟🐸 Using protein language models, we encode biological meaning of genes in scRNA-seq datasets.

@InsomniosAticos ¿Alguna conexión con οἰδάω ("hincharse")? Tipo Edipo, de los pies hinchados, que [spoiler?] se termina cegando (¿juego de palabras?) al final de la tragedia.

Y cuando se enteren que el verbo “ver” (εἴδω) y el verbo “saber” (οἶδα) son el mismo verbo en griego antiguo, los chicos de “no la ven” se me caen de orto en un mambo recopado.

Thanks @BrotmanBaty! Looking forward to the science ahead!

HUGE congrats to @riddhimankg @uwgenome for being named 1 of only 15 @wrfseattle postdoctoral fellows for 2024. He will develop & apply omics-based approaches to map dynamics of molecular systems during cellular differentiation & embryonic development. wrfseattle.org/news/wrf-annou…

@skdh What are some (old and modern) books you'd recommend on instrumentalism / non-realism?
English
I'm thinking of launching a new video series in which I answer science questions. Do you have a question that you'd like me to address?

@vortuosity @Chopin93674786 @VergaraLautaro It's a poor approximation for most things other than a pure ideal gas.

HISTORY OF PHYSICS
Ludwig Boltzmann was 62. He had suffered for years from periods of serious depression. He also suffered severe asthma. During his later years he was plagued by "the worst sickness that can strike a professor - the fear of lecturing".

@skdh @Philip_Goff Hi Sabine! Are there any modern books about scientific realism and, especially, anti-realism that you would recommend? Thanks!
English
@Philip_Goff I have no idea what you mean. We do as a matter of fact not use such an assumption. Just go and read any paper that makes predictions for electron cross-sections and see if you can find that they state "We now assume that electrons exist".
English
This is a highly controversial philosophical conception of science. Do you have an argument in support of this? @skdh

@InsomniosAticos @DiscursoOtro En Harvard no hay fraternidades sino final clubs que son todavía más excéntricos!!

@DiscursoOtro No me sumaría a ninguna, prefiero no “pertenecer”. Ya ser miembro de un departamento es suficiente.

¿Comparto un toque de falopa Harvard?
La universidad tiene 12 casas y cada estudiante pertenece a una.
Cada casa organiza una “gala” en la cual el estudiante residente invita a su profesor preferido. El jueves me toca asistir a mi primera gala.
ESPERO NO DAR MUERTA DE HAMBRE🇦🇷

"These methods can order a set of individual cells along a path, and assign a pseudotime value to each cell that represents where the cell is along that path. This can be a starting point for further analysis to determine gene expression programs driving cell phenotypes."
