1/ 👣 Todo gran avance empieza con un primer paso. Hoy damos uno muy importante: la inauguración del #CaixaResearchInstitute, un nuevo centro de inmunología donde investigación y talento se unen para afrontar algunos de los grandes retos en salud. ➡️ Hay historias que explican este logro mejor que cualquier cifra. 👀👇

What once took $2B and an army of scientists was just done in a kitchen for the price of a pair of jeans Most people have no idea how fast science is moving

The “not sleeping”/sleep deprivation is probably the hardest thing about being a mom/parent, specially these first months

🗨️ Just published in @NatureBiotech: Our CellWhisperer AI enables chat-based analysis of single-cell sequencing data. You can talk to your cells & figure out the biology without writing any computer code. Paper link and annotated walkthrough in the thread below (1/11)

Happy to see that our lab’s open-science tool, GScholarLens has been featured by @Nature. Dalmeet Chawla (@DalmeetS) does a fantastic job highlighting how GScholarLens brings transparency to scientific metrics, helping researchers, institutions, and the community better understand research impact based on authorship. By making citation and authorship data open and traceable, the tool aims to reduce the pitfalls of metric-driven evaluation and encourage thoughtful discussion on scientific contributions.
