Congratulations to our Feng Shan, a student I co-advise (prim.: Dr. Vignali), condensed his PhD thesis in this first author publication. Not bad, right? The paper will be included in the next issue of Science Immunology. science.org/doi/10.1126/scii…

This is just up at the AJRCCM. How #COPD predictive equations on spirometry measurements affect disease categorization for non-white populations? Congrats to Liz Regan who led the study and very happy that Robert Gregg and I participated in it. #NHLBI atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1…

Another ATS conference ended. This year, there were many great talks. Very proud of my students, Tyler Lovelace and Minxue Jia, who gave talks in mini-symposium and presented their work in poster discussions. Happy to see old friends and colleagues. #ATS2023

Big congrats to former lab member, Dr. Kristina Buschur, for today's publication. Kristina used causal graphs to identify COPD subtypes from blood RNA-seq, which differ in disease severity and mortality. Thanks to our collaborators and #NIH #NHLBI respiratory-research.biomedc…

This is amazing! I just found out that @UF offers free subscription to @nytimes and @WSJ to its employees. I don't know who else does so, but I wish all universities make these subscriptions standard, like the science journal subscriptions. #education #journalism

As most @NIH grantees should know, data sharing sections will be required in proposals in early 2023 (bit.ly/3aJdXR0). Now @NIH might actually make those sharing grant components PUBLIC! So the public & community can start to hold grantees to their commitments! #nihacd

Just submitted a paper in @ThoraxBMJ. I was amazed by the functionality. The software extracted title, abstract, co-authors and funding information from the Word file. Still needed some tweaks, but it surely helps a long way the submission.

This is our paper for causal inference & prediction on high-dimensional, co-linear data. Our Tyler Lovelace co-led this work in collaboration with Jishnu Das lab, Harinder Singh and others. Congrats Tyler! And thanks @nih_nhlbi for support. #causality tinyurl.com/3vexrasm

How bullying becomes a career tool: "Bullies spring into action when their targets become too successful for their liking". "Planting false stories, publicly ridiculing, insulting, or tarnishing". Do we have mechanisms to combat this? Can kindness prevail? #StopBullying

Introducing a new approach for training #ML models using noisy data that works by dynamically assigning importance weights to both individual instances and class labels, thus reducing the impact of noisy examples. Learn more about it at goo.gle/35hTK2b
