Graduate school is a dangerously vulnerable place
this vulnerability can enable tremendous growth
choose your community and your mentors carefully. Be kind to yourself and each other
Mentors, it is an honor to support people in this stage. and this is painfully easy to forget.

Would you want your whole face to be seen while wearing a #mask? Brazilian artist Jorge Silva Roriz paints parts of customers' faces onto white protective masks, ensuring that details like facial hair color and skin tone would be closely matched to his customers' faces.

A stat-graph problem! answer might be trivial? Suppose a two block stochastic blockmodel on n nodes that is below the reconstruction threshold. an oracle puts every node into one of n/k "pre-groups" of k nodes. no group has nodes in both blocks. can you reconstruct? idk.

Large-scale applications of SURF to 104 RBP datasets from @ENCODE_NIH indicate a diverse involvement of RBPs in ATR events and highlights broader positioning preferences for their interaction with RNA. (4/5)
