heard UMAP was popular on twitter, anyone have any advice on how to tighten up the clusters?

- ...and after some tough deliberation, I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be starting my graduate studies @MITBiology this fall!
- Replying to @OnlyInBOSDon’t worry Boston City Hall, *I* still love you and all the other under-appreciated brutes out there
- I know I'm super late, but I just got my copy of the nature issue from @growbyginkgo and it might be coolest magazine I've ever seen. brb have to smell some extinct plants
- Replying to @samuelcolvinAhh yes, Python, the only language created by an individual programmer. Meanwhile, Rust must have grown off of Graydon Hoare's head like Athena, and Go was simply summoned from the eldritch dreamplane by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike.
- It's mind-boggling just how reliable and powerful this workflow is. I honestly envision a world where OCTOPUS is implemented at other companies and university sequencing cores all across the world.We open-sourced OCTOPUS, our scalable NGS-based method to verify plasmids, two years ago. Today,@willovvens and Bryan are sharing powerful new features and updates on how OCTOPUS has evolved since then. bit.ly/3wclXme
- Replying to @ArtirKel @parmita and @mister_shroomR's language design is an affront to God, but I can't find anything in python (or other langs) that comes remotely close to the ergonomics of the tidyverse
- tired: having your figures published wired: having your figures turned into interior decorationOur first installment of Octant's Art Series showcases how we turn our data into works of art. The images are Will from our Platform team's art piece compared to the actual platform run that inspired the art. Yeah, we think it looks like a subway map too.
- Last week, I graduated from being an apprentice at Octant to a research associate. Read about my experience in Octant's SBA program here (spoiler, it was phenomenal): octant.bio/blog/2021/6/1/…
- Getting to work on this project with @JustinGEnglish and Adam Zahm was a MAJOR highlight of my time at @OctantBio. So thankful to @srikosuri and the other folks at Octant for giving me this opportunity, and so stoked that we can share this!
- Replying to @baymcells in the red clusters look interesting, should probably sort those out for further study
- Replying to @willovvensWe run OCTOPUS once or twice a week, but we're still improving and updating it constantly. If you have any issues PLEASE reach out on GitHub (my DMs are also open).
- It’s hard to understate how much the Octant Apprenticeship program changed the trajectory of my career. So thankful to @lnhandly and all the other incredible mentors at Octant for their work on this program!!Since its start in 2019, our apprenticeship program has transformed 27 fresh college grads into meaningful contributors at Octant. Check out our latest blog to learn how you can launch careers and turn new grads into biotech superstars, too! octant.bio/blog-posts/ope…
