Does it matter whether oral contraceptives are taken in the morning or at night? We combine circadian hormone modeling with PK/PD models to show that daytime dosing may align better with hormonal rhythms than nighttime dosing.

kallisto sped up RNA-seq quantification by 50x. Now another 50x speedup... quantify hundreds of millions of reads in a few seconds.
This seems too good to be true. But it's true!
Incredible accomplishment by @pmelsted.
Excited to share this preprint that describes my latest work on using GPUs to accelerate processing of RNA-seq data.
The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

A simple message with big meaning: "I am somebody." We are grateful to Rev. Jesse Jackson for helping teach generations of children to believe in themselves and in one another. Thank you for being part of our neighborhood. 💛💚
Chapter 39 in SLEEP AND HEALTH is focused on "Sleep and mental Health in Children and Adolescents." Led by Michelle Short, Kate Bartel and Mary Carskadon, this chapter outlines how sleep and circadian health play important roles in pediatric mental health concerns. This is especially important as mental health issues in these populations are increasingly causing significant consequences for society. And sleep may be an important way to help!
