🧵- I spent years underestimating the importance of self-promotion and networking.
I gave a talk last week about this. Who you know, and, more importantly, **who knows you**, is critical. More than just getting a job; it’s about publishing, getting grants, collaborations and getting invited to speak.

Hi bioinformatics, genomics and CS friends! Please help me spread the word. I'm hiring a postdoc! Come work on cutting edge method development in algorithmic genomics with me and my group at @umdscience.bsky.social! 🖥️🧬
And it's posted! If you're interested and eligible, please consider applying through the UMD portal: umd.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UMCP/j....

If you're a PI working in algorithmic genomics (& you can recommend my lab to your top graduating students ;P), please let them know!

This issue is something I've bumped up against myself:

"Only ~40% of studies provided readily usable processed count data that could be reliably mapped to GEO metadata, and fewer than 10% included author-provided celltype annotations"

Strict structure for scRNAseq GEO submissions is needed

Very proud to finally publish Giotto Suite after many years of hard work. It's a big milestone for our lab and will be a massive stepping stone for our ongoing projects and ideas. Take a look at giottosuite.com and feel free to share feedback and ideas for improvement.

I put together a talk on some general #coding and project management best-practice suggestions for #bioinformatics 🧬🖥️ for a meeting I'm hosting tomorrow. I thought I'd share in case others found it useful. Suggestions of other concepts I can add are welcome!
