Vote๐ณ๏ธ. Willing and happy to talk about: sled dogs, graduate student mental health and burnout, 3D genome, and @yourewrongabout episode on Kitty Genovese
I had a blast recording my first podcast ever! Thank you @jmschreiber91 and @bioinfochat for having me on and nerding out over chromatin architecture ๐งฌ and matrix factorization
In the latest episode of @bioinfochat, I talk with @dyneofdata about her latest method, GRiNCH, for identifying genomic regions that cluster together in 3D space and then stealing their presents to put a sad look on their face. Check it out! bioinformatics.chat/grinch

Study of the evolution of gene regulatory networks in African cichlids, from @TK_mehta, @sroyyors, @ScienceisGlobal and co. Based on RNA-seq data from six tissues in five species, they find rewiring of regulatory networks between species eg in opsins genomebiology.biomedcentral.โฆ
Science answers: how do dogs know other dogs are dogs? @BlairBraverman#uglydogs Thank you @SusieGCG for always sensing and sending me what I need in my life
Every intro to cognitive psychology course has at least one chapter where we ask how people know that dogs are dogs - after all, they look so different from each other.
This research one-ups our question and asks: HOW DO DOGS KNOW THAT OTHER DOGS ARE DOGS??
I made some little games for my lab mates kids' using @BioRender and I wanted to share with you all! Feel free to print them and give them to kiddos who love (or who you are slowly convincing to love) science! Happy Holidays everyone!
Iโm ashamed I only learned about @timnitgebruโs work after her firing. Thank you @math_rachel for pointing me to @timnitgebruโs high-impact body of work on ethical AI (and @yourewrongabout for teaching me that you lose sight of a person by focusing on the spotlight around her) 1/
I have long admired @timnitGebru for her brilliance, moral courage, clear voice in speaking up for what is right, & influential scholarship. It is truly terrible that Google would do this.
In this thread, I want to share some of Timnit's work I love

6/ Iโm training to be a computational biologist. Based on @_KarenHaoโs summary of the paper that led to @timnitgebru taking a stance, this work also speaks to ethical concerns in my field, particularly for large deep models like AlphaFold. technologyreview.com/2020/12โฆ
Itโs a (morbidly) fun exercise to read through the article and think about which ethical concerns would be transferable to AlphaFold, or whatever model youโre working on. I recommend it as a light Saturday morning family activity ;) I look forward to reading the full paper. 7/7
