www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... Dear Canadians,

I even like Marchand.

It never ceases to amaze me how researchers are still making breakthroughs with AIMS, a method we published 10 years ago with @hallettmiket.bsky.social . Now, AIMS is proving instrumental in revealing BC subtype switching before and after neoadjuvant treatment. tinyurl.com/bdday25t

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University, is seeking applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Cancer Immunology and Therapeutics. PLEASE REPOST ! www.nature.com/naturecareer...

So the meth head that lives in the apartment below me just told me that he wouldn't break into my apartment if I could show that I was more serious about controlling the flow of meth into the building. It's best in these kinds of interactions to just nod your head yes and quietly walk away.

I have never been so happy to see all of my NASDAQ stock is down.

I think Canada should have let Bud Lite through .... just for the poetry.

Ok so Canada needs an endogenous car company. My vote is to resurrect the Manic GT, retrofit it as an EV, throw some snow tires on and we're good to go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRUN...

📢 Excited to share our latest work, now on bioRxiv! We've used deep learning to uncover functional archetypes in the adult human gut #microbiome, shedding light on interindividual variability microbiome stability, and disease associations: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #AI #microbiology 🧵 1/n

When I was a young hacker (armed with my TI 99/4A), I thought this new tech world offered such promise to everyone. Sure, there was Bill Gates/Microsoft but they were merely boring; nothing in comparison to the excitement of Unix, Open Source, GNU and even Apple.

Good.

I so believe this.

If the coming Zombie Apocalypse has a fungal origin, I am pretty certain ground zero is some teenager's hockey bag.

I teach a class on data science here at Illinois and during the seminar I host a competition for the class called "The Hunt for the Worst Data Visualization." This was my most popular post on Xitter, so reproducing some of the best submissions from previous years here:

I have created wwater.ca to provide graphs of #COVID19, RSV, and flu levels in regions across #Canada using the Government of Canada's #wastewater initiative data. Inspired by the Ontario government shutting down the crucial Wastewater Surveillance Initiative on July 31, 2024.

Fun collaboration with Nikki Case and colleagues; my contribution was to extend our Candescence software for host-pathogen interactions.🧬🖥️ journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

Excited to share our latest publication in @elife.bsky.social! Introducing a refined single-cell transcriptomics technique applied to thousands of C. albicans cells, shedding light on drug tolerance mechanisms for more effective antifungal treatments @hallettmiket.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

🧬 🖥️ What are your best resources for the history of machine learning? Books? papers? interpretative dance? that describes the main mathematical/algorithmic trends since the 50s?

🧬 🖥️ 🧪 That fresh server smell 🤍. The promise of vast empty fields of storage ⛰️ 🌼. The pristine structure of a freshly installed, yet-to-be-mutilated operating system 🧽 🛁.
