Congrats to Jonas on the pre-print of his primary thesis work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I don't know about you, but I enjoyed President Musk's first oval office press conference. He even brought his kid and some sort of orange puppet to entertain him. He's a nice dad.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

My child really eats only avocados and berries. This is going to suck....

Please consider taking Anshul up on his offer. Many of us are waiting for the results of this cool project ;)

Did you think you were too late for a cool summer internship? Think again! 12 weeks of awesomeness on aging and partial reprogramming working with some great post-docs from the Jasper and Marioni labs at Genentech. roche.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ROG-A2O-GENE...

You know, when the AI comes for our jobs, people who can manipulate little marine creatures with actual tools will be the last people left with jobs....man career advice got weird these last few years.

Its paid summer intern time! Come join us for a summer of ML, regulatory genomics, and human genetics. Also maybe a crazy idea involving neanderthals. roche.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ROG-A2O-GENE...

Come. Spend a summer interning with us. We'll even pay you to do it. roche.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ROG-A2O-GENE...

Gotta say, nothing brings back the pain of opportunities missed like seeing the rounds of fall academic job openings.

Two excellent pre-prints today reminding us how hard it can be to translate genetic findings to the clinic (but still excellent work ;) ) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Its still pretty slow over here....

Congrats to Karikó and Weissman on the Nobel for mRNA modifications! Their work was not appreciated by the university or reviewers at the time, but has saved millions of lives. A great example of the value of discovery science and reminder to not limit academic research to immediate applications.

This is the sort of study that makes it really clear how useful museum can be.

This morning's code is 50% ChatGPT written, I think....

Let's all say it again -- distance on a UMAP is not good evidence for cell type similarity and I'm not going to be a happy reviewer when I read that.

Job alert: We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to work on tissue-based single-cell perturbation as part of an @ERC_Research Synergy Project with Wolfgang Huber, Oliver Stegle and Jan Lohmann. #Heidelberg jobs.dkfz.de/en/jobs/1557... More information: erc-decode.eu Please Repost

Please spread the word! UNC biostatistics and UNC Genetics are recruiting a tenure-track assistant professor to engage in statistical genetics/genomics methodological and collaborative research Apply here: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/265... Details below

So...I'm here now. Where all my science peeps at?
