The retina contains numerous cell types. To what extent are retinal cell types conserved across species that greatly differ in visual needs? Our new preprint attempts to shed light on this question by integrating single-cell transcriptomic data from 17 vertebrate species.

Our webinar to introduce and release Seurat v5 is tomorrow at 12PM ET! Sign up to learn more about new methods for spatial, multimodal, and highly scalable analysis.
We've been working on Seurat v5 for two years and are excited to share it with you soon! In a webinar w/@10xGenomics and @ScienceMagazine on 3/29, I'll introduce new methods to analyze spatial/multimodal datasets that scale to tens of millions of cells: view6.workcast.net/register?…

How to start a presentation? Most people start with all the boring info (e.g., repeating everything your host just said) and unmotivated technical details. 🥱 After a few mins, everyone starts checking their phone! 😱 How to avoid this? Here is a simple template. 🧵

Introducing Video PreTraining (VPT): it learns complex behaviors by watching (pretraining on) vast amounts of online videos. On Minecraft, it produces the first AI capable of crafting diamond tools, which takes humans over 20 minutes (24,000 actions) 🧵👇openai.com/blog/vpt
