I’m remembering Nick Wong today. Creative, generous, reminded me to acknowledge my elders and my mentors and my family when I celebrated a win. I’m grateful we crossed paths in this lifetime

"While there is no current consensus, we do not advocate for a single definition and contend that a lack of unanimity is not inherently problematic."

If you don’t feel stupid doing science, you’re not trying hard enough.

Restarting a previous discussion on here: How convinced are #SingleCell people by cell-cell communication methods? I'm still at "not very" 😅 I see them used everywhere, but I don't know of any really good way to validate them... More importantly, I don't know of any *non-simulated* training data.

Happy to see the best #rstats trend has also migrated here 📊
