@washingtonpost@nytimes@maggieNYT@PhilipRucker Reading through Bannon's indictment, and the list of accounts (34i) holding the fake charity money is curious. One of the account holders is an organization called America First Medical. That's odd (continued)
The company is headed by Kolfage, indicted with Bannon,
The mask broker industry is the wild west. Some in it sell counterfeit masks. Some compete with states and hospitals that need masks, causing short supplies and amp'd up prices. (continued)
It's worth noting that some mask shipments were confiscated by Trump during the height of the epidemic confusion. You can imagine fraudulent dots to connect. Here's a link to the story on America First Medical, from March. reuters.com/article/us-healt…

The mask broker industry is the wild west. Some in it sell counterfeit, knock-off masks. Some resell masks whose source is unknown. Some compete with states and hospitals who are legitimately going to use the masks, causing short supplies and amp'd up prices. (continued)
The company, America First Medical, claimed to have access to tons of masks, which they would re-sell at large scale for a "small" profit. The company is headed by Kolfage, who was indicted for the Build The Wall fraud (continued).
Stunning and mind blowing. Perhaps you'll finally understand and value federal funding for scientific research and the value of having robust scientific programs in the govt? Nah, just ask for help on twitter.
The latest from our lab!

"The art of using t-SNE for single-cell transcriptomics" by @CellTypist and myself was published two weeks ago: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…. This is a thread about the initialisation, the learning rate, and the exaggeration in t-SNE. I'll use MNIST to illustrate. (1/16)
more evidence that you should not be losing sleep over tSNE vs. UMAP. Initialization is always one of the most important things. ;). You should instead be losing sleep over what you are planning to do with your tSNE/UMAP. 😃 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Mitch McConnell came to our NJ town for a re-election fundraiser? So we organized a flash rally to show people that former fighter pilots - like @AmyMcGrathKY and @RepSherrill - make much better Congresspeople than oligarch-owned obstructionists! Video: tinyurl.com/rgxx87s
Wow! : "Finally, we illustrate the importance of informed choices by showing that a good scRNA-seq pipeline can have the same impact on detecting a biological signal as quadrupling the sample size." From: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We're losing one of the lab's first staff, Aidan Winters, to graduate school really soon. Nice to see him present his excellent work at #CYTO2019. Nice job, Aidan!
Well, I suddenly have a bunch of Twitter followers! So here's a shout out to all of you who came to CYTO2019! Major drivers at this year's meeting: real world application of algorithms, translational science, and new technology. Really outstanding meeting!
