@ramencult @pastramimachine WHY ARE WE SPEAKING IN TONGUES

@MostlyMammals @pastramimachine Fear is the mind killer

Found one of those boxes from the gom jabbar test at St Vinnies

@pastramimachine @ramencult

@ramencult so- are you human?

@pastramimachine @ramencult Uh oh, not even M’Jordan? Am I in trouble?

@MostlyMammals @ramencult jordan

@mufernando_ Good luck! You’re gonna crush it

@jtung5 Thanks Jenny! I may have to invite myself to future baboon joint lab meetings to quell the fomo!

@MostlyMammals Congrats Jordan!! Can't wait to see what you do there.

Very excited that I've officially started as a bioinformatics scientist at Foresight Diagnostics! This website has become an absolute mess, but for folks interested in transitioning to industry from academia my dms are always open. Happy to share an n=1 experience.

@DocEdge85 Thanks Doc! I had to translate my salary into units of California burritos to make sense of it all.

@MostlyMammals Congratulations, Jordan!! Golden Eagle Pride

@cj_battey We're becoming stronger! I think at some point we can challenge the co-lab to some type of winner-takes-all combat?

@MostlyMammals Congrats! The popgen-ML-to-cfdna-diagnostics pipeline is growing : )

@afogel29 Thanks 🙌🙌🙌

@MostlyMammals Woohoo! Congrats!!!

@pastramimachine @ramencult was NOT a fan of the spritz

Totally cool sitting in Oregon while my lab stays in a rented Italian villa eating pizza and drinking aperol

Where are the pizza pics from SMBE??

i wrote a paper about using machine learning to identify patterns of co-dispersal in Anopheles and Plasmodium biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

excited to share @ramencult's new paper on interpreting machine learning predictions of geographic origin from a host (Anopheles) / parasite (Plasmodium) system biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@pastramimachine @ramencult I wish I could claim co-authorship. I think @SilasTittes gets partial credit on this one

@ramencult Did @MostlyMammals help workshop this?

she SLURM on my queue til my jobs finish

What drives this heterogeneity is fascinating. But testing if DNAm assoc. can actually drive gene regulation is huge! So many thanks to coauthors (@jtung5 @susan_alberts @archie @AmandaLea14 @mercie_aki and the twitter-less folks). Please read and let us know your thoughts!

There is so much more to say but a few final thoughts -- Biological embedding via DNAm is an enticing idea. But, the empirical support has been very lacking. We find mixed evidence here. Some strong source of adversity have no independent link to DNAm! Others do.

At long last my final dissertation chapter gets to see the light of day: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… . We start with a simple observation -- bad experiences during early life predict increased mortality in adulthood (in many species). But why? 1/n
