Excited to see Moscot (moscot-tools.org) published in @Nature! We scaled Optimal Transport (OT) in single-cell genomics & added multimodality together with spatiotemporal trajectory inference, finding exciting new biology in the pancreas! 🚀 Read at www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I've stopped posting on Twitter and Threads. I'll stop interacting there and lock those accounts at the end of the week. If you have colleagues who used to follow me on those platforms, feel free to let them know, and that they can follow me here or Mastodon instead. 🙏

“The PhD stipend is $33,511 … well below minimum wage of $47,627” “Universities can raise the stipend to a maximum of $52,352, but a ACGR survey found none have done so. The highest stipend is just over $40,000 … with the average at $34,244.” #RaiseTheStipend

So pleased to be a part of this brilliant effort! Thank you to all involved especially @haowen-zhou.bsky.social and @stephaniehicks.bsky.social !! This project was borne out of the need for consistent and scalable clustering across many (atlas-scale!) spatial transcriptomics samples 💻📈🧬

Something that's been bugging me for a while in bioinformatics data analysis is this overreliance on packages, workflows and what's been called "cargo cult science". Can we have more conceptual thinking, more theory? Asking for what we really want to achieve and what we need to do gets us there.
