I โ™ฅ science & compiled, statically-typed programming languages! I dislike slop in all forms, including slop thinking. Views are my own, but are obviously right.

    Thanks, @Google, but I already have this feature. It's called "tabs" and they make me feel plenty guilty already.

    Rewrite it in Rust is now an official DARPA program :).

    Hey, @CNN โ€” I think I found the problem ...

    Data available upon request to the authors is soooo 2022. This is how we roll in 2023 - the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

    It is hard to overstate how impressive this is once you recognize this is a single-author paper from a high school student!

    I'm 38 and I still have dreams about being unprepared for a test that tanks my grade in a class I took like 15-20 years ago. Two questions. 1) WTF brain?! 2) Does it ever stop?

    In 2005 I was a rising senior and was just considering the possibility of applying to grad school. As a first-gen academic, I had no idea how late I was starting this path. Now, 15 years later, I've learned that my promotion and tenure has been approved (in the same dept.)! 1/5

    This is pretty slick โ€” query with an accession and directly download actual read files (with preference for SRA or ENA) directly in @rpetit3's fastq-dl github.com/rpetit3/fastq-โ€ฆ; all wrapped up in a nice "rich" interface :).

    As a group working on #scRNA-seq and #snRNA-seq analysis, weโ€™ve noticed that certain popular and publicly-available datasets, e.g. the PBMC datasets from 10x Genomics, are used repeatedly for tutorials, method development, etc. and often reprocessed. 1/๐Ÿงต

    Did @10xGenomics just make newer versions of Cell Ranger open source? github.com/10XGenomics/ceโ€ฆ (cc @sjackman, @luizirber). This is a huge win for open, transparent, and reproducible science if itโ€™s the case!

    A CS postdoc making under $70k is literally probably at a third (or less in some cases) of their industry value. There are limits to how much of a financial hit people may be willing or able to take to stay in academia...

    When I sign my emails โ€œBestโ€, itโ€™s short for โ€œBest of luck navigating this apocalyptic Hellscape that has beset us over the past several years, and I hope, in earnest, to celebrate with you in revelry on the other sideโ€. But that doesnโ€™t fit on one line, so I just go with โ€œBestโ€.

    Thrilled, grateful and honored that our lab has recently received an NSF CAREER award. This will help fund our research (& my amazing students) for the next 5 years. It will also fund outreach projects that, I hope, will be informative and *fun*; stay tuned. Thank you, NSF!
