I use computational tools to understand chromatin dynamics, transcriptional regulation, neurodevelopment, and human evolution.

Excited to announce that applications are open for the Asilomar meeting on The Ethical and Societal Implications of Neural Organoids, Assembloids, and Their Transplantation!

As the technologies & applications of 3D neural models evolve, a number of ethical and societal issues are emerging.

The nature of Neolithic society is one of the most debated topics in archaeology–a debate that's almost impossible to settle w/ conventional methods alone. Now, new DNA data from a site in Turkey called Çatalhöyük points to a significant role for women: www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org
Stone Age farmers’ households passed from mother to daughter
Moms and daughters were at the center of the family in ancient Çatalhöyük, ancient DNA and archaeological evidence suggest

@berthetmelissa.bsky.social et al. report that bonobo (Pan paniscus) vocalizations have nontrivial compositionality, challenging the belief that this is a uniquely human trait. Bonobo communication involves complex meaning structures, not just simple combinations! 🧪

So glad to see this work preprinted. Thanks @ludoritz.bsky.social for spearheading this massive effort with me and Mariana. There are so many good things in this paper. Thanks to Giuseppe and Raymond for guiding us. Thanks to collaborators, and #HVDAS families. #ADNP #neurodevelopment #multiomics
I'm happy to share our work on the neurodevelopmental impact of ADNP mutations in ASD and beyond. It has been an exciting ride to share with @alessandrovitriolo.bsky.social, Mariana, and the people of the Testa and Poot Labs.

🚨 New paper on ArXiv:

“Uncertainty quantification and posterior sampling for network reconstruction”

TL;DR; We present an efficient method to sample the entire ensemble of possible network reconstructions that are compatible with an indirect observation, e.g. a dynamics.
