- I've been promoted to full professor @princeton starting July 1st. Holding complex thoughts for later; now I'll say I feel so lucky to be in a research group full of kind people doing thoughtful & impactful work. And any success I have is entirely due to my kids, not despite them
- The beehive is moving to the Bay Area! As of this summer, I will be Senior Investigator at @GladstoneInst and Professor at Stanford University in @StanfordDBDS! I am overcome with all of the avenues of research this move opens up for me and my group.
- It’s official! Tenure letter arrived. Infinite gratitude to my family first, students and postdocs, mentors, collaborators, and colleagues.
- What an honor to be selected for the Overton Prize, as previous winners include my science idols! So much credit to my group w/ their brilliant ideas & boundless energy. To my nominators: thanks for constant support even anon; it means more than you know. iscb.org/iscb-awards/ov…
- Twitter Friends! I'm teaching Machine Learning for Social Justice this Fall @Princeton: cs.princeton.edu/ugrad/independ… 1. I'm collecting links to data repos for data related to #BlackLivesMatter -- do you know of some? 2. Textbook recs for data analysis (Python or language agnostic)?
- JFC. Article on the vision of AI for the future. Eight men mentioned. Seven men quoted. Zero women. Zero people of color. Try again @craigss, and let us know if you need help.
- My first day as a @Stanford professor! Lovely @StanfordDBDS welcome breakfast with amazing BDS colleagues, BMI students, and administrators! So excited to be here! Quickly back to (my favorite) business as usual with student and postdoc meetings. New office view though —
- Idk who needs to hear this again, but even the best statistical model/ML method can’t overcome poor experimental design, biased observations, and insufficient sample numbers
- Happy double palindrome day for those who observe! 💃 12/2/21 12/02/2021
- Thrilled to announce I'll be working with the incredible team at @Genomicsplc to make precision health a reality! Excited to be part of a group that lets me, as a prof & mom, have an impact in an important space while working with my @Princeton students & caring for my children
- In these hard times, Didong Li, Andy Jones, & I just posted a preprint on probabilistic contrastive PCA. In scientific applications, often we want to find directions of maximal variation in cases relative to controls. arxiv.org/abs/2012.07977
- Incredibly excited to join Gladstone Institute of Data Science and Biotechnology! I am on leave from Princeton this (academic) year. I'm already enjoying the amazing scientific opportunities and collaborations at Gladstone!!Barbara Engelhardt (@BeEngelhardt) joins the Gladstone Institute of Data Science and Biotechnology. bit.ly/399U817
- hey plz dont burn down nat comms right now because im 0/16 at nature methods and I need a place to publish my second-rate female academic research. thx.
