What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

The end of an amazing Schier lab reunion meeting in Sevilla. I recommend every lab does something like this! Great for the brain and soul 💛🌴🌞

Looking for a group leader in functional genomics with focus on computational biology. See details at: careers.humantechnopole.it/o/group-leader…

It’s finally out! The PhD work and first first author paper of @MartinoUgolini: rdcu.be/dD5Vd. Congrats to all co-authors @mkierun, @lanoliin, Hiroshi Kimura, and Haruka Oda for the beautiful work! We also thank @cSabrya @NatureCellBio for the pleasant review process.

Amazing results from @sergekoren. Near perfect assembly of human, ont only. "We found the accuracy of Duplex data to be similar to HiFi sequencing, but with read lengths tens of kb longer, .... assemblies have a base accuracy exceeding 99.999% (Q50) and near-perfect continuity"

Honestly this is probably the single best advice for making it through grad school or a postdoc as well. Just get stuff done. It may feel smart to critique things well, it may even be useful, but ultimately you are judged on what you've gotten done

couldn’t agree more about the need for more computational biologists. More importantly, we must ensure they receive the recognition and support they deserve. Their work should never be dismissed as merely “just service”. Additionally, I’d like to remind everyone of the excellent paper titled ‘All Biology is Computational Biology’. 🧬 💻

This is fascinating- same paper sent out to huge pool of reviewers under different names. 23% recommended “reject” when a prominent researcher was the only author shown, 48% when the paper was anonymized, and 65% when a little-known author was the only author shown

Our warmest congratulations to Håkon Tjeldnes who successfully defended his PhD thesis "Unraveling the Mysteries of the Translatome", supervised by Prof. Eivind Valen @eviledv

Postdoc @PreetiKute from the Valen Associate Group @eviledv has spent the past week participating in an intensive #EMBLDataIntegration workshop receiving hands-on experience in next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry-based #proteomics in Heidelberg. 👏 @EMBLEvents @UiB

✨Proud to share that our Assoc. Group Leader Eivind Valen @eviledv has been appointed PI at the new K.G. Jebsen Center for Myeloid Blood Cancer @stiftkgj with Center Director Bjørn Tore Gjertsen @BjornTG and PI Simona Chera @chera_lab @UiB @UniOslo👏 ➡️tinyurl.com/KGJebsen

I'm actively looking for a post-doc position in reproductive/dev bio and have a particular interest in understudied/endangered species linkedin.com/pulse/imployab… please share! #postdoc #postdocjobs

How to build a successful research institute, from the UK/Europe perspective. In the US, @RockefellerUniv is another great example. Key feature in common: “Let scientists focus on the science with a proactive and communicative administration” dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

New opportunity for a PhD position at @cbu_bergen in the group of @reuter_nathalie, being part of an exciting biotech project led by @AndersGoks and funded by @forskningsradet.

Welcome to the Kristine Bonnevie lectures! 1 Sept., Gamle festsal. Lectures by Emmanuelle Charpentier and Sigrid Bratlie on genome editing #CRISPR and the intersection of science/society. Register at the webpage. @sigridbratlie @biovitenskap @Realfagsbibl mn.uio.no/cees/english/r…

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

I’m looking for a computational biologists for my group at RIKEN to work with us on many new data in the FANTOM project, including ONT long reads on RNA and DNA, icSHAPE, PARIS, RNA and Chromatin interactions, feel free to contact me at #RNA23. Details: riken.jp/en/careers/res…
