@AnnaVathrakoko1 @BioinfoAdv Congratulations! Deconvolution is such a finicky method - a standardized, context-aware pipeline is a huge boon to the field

Excited to share my first first-author paper, now live in @BioinfoAdv! 📚 We assessed 31 cell-type deconvolution methods across five diverse tissues. 🧬academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… #deconvolution #transcriptomics #singlecell

New: Employers and HR vendors are using AI chatbots to interview and screen job applicants. We found that OpenAI's GPT discriminates against names based on race and gender when ranking resumes. W/ @daveyalba and @Leonardonclt gift link: bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…

Please come to our first holiday party party on December 3 at Beer Study. 4-7 pm. Kids welcome. There will be pizza.

🎉 Congratulations to @Kamran_Khan360 for this great article! In the #humancellatlas era, modelling atlases for cell-type #signatures is tricky. Our #plugin for #CIBERSORTx eliminates #multilevel #unwanted #variation, improving signature selection! 🔗academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

@triblogblog @clarklgray @NCBotGarden blogblog’s ceaseless investigation into Owl-Capone’s crimes is exactly what this community needs to heal 🫡

@clarklgray @NCBotGarden did the owl take your hat?

Blazing lunchtime walk to Battle Park. Heard an owl too! 🦉

My dad was part of this union and had stickers of this EVERYWHERE. Probably the most personally niche thing I’ve seen on this app

@jpflores_31 Thing I want to take action on but don't know how: A certain summer undergrad program designed to increase diversity in STEM is weeks late on paying their students

I think the hardest part about social justice in STEM is that there's not enough action... We discuss, discuss, and discuss, but what is the ACTIONABLE thing to do? That, I think, will be the difference...

@Alicoh1 “All of the rich kids I knew had rich parents! And, get this, a lot of their grandparents were rich too! See, it must be their genes, that’s the only way the wealth could be passed down!“ - The Town Fool

Lol this is one of those issues that everyone's normal life experience totally rebuts the "correct" stance. Everyone knows smart people. Everyone knows their parent(s) are also smart. If it's politically unfavorable to accept that, then 🤷‍♂️

@mattyglesias @Alicoh1 Accounting for region (place of birth, migration, etc.) in genetic studies erases the corr. between genetics and intelligence/education. Studies that don’t account for these factors are lazy, self serving, and perpetuate eugenic falsities through willful ignorance or malice

@UNCBBSP Update: I dug a bit deeper and some wonderful department admins helped sort it out at no cost to me! Grad students, ask around if you have issues with academic bureaucracy. Info can be spread unevenly in higher ed

@BrianGural Reimbursement culture is a persistent problem in academia. Have you asked your PI, your lab's business officer, and your SSM how they could directly pay for registration and book your hotel and flights?

Does anyone in academia have a reasonable explanation for why I (a low-pay graduate student) need to front $1,170 to register for a conference? Not to mention that my T32 paid me a lump sum in January and won't again until next month
