I try to convert coffee into code and ideas for uncovering biological mysteries.

Some interests: single-cell, lineage tracing, computational biology, cellular variability, premalignancy, resistance...

Training other methods on the same data may not be feasible due to compute limitations. Training on other much smaller data won’t be the same task. Training your implementation or with your compute limitations is not representative of the original method.

Academics also can be driven and intelligent, but the driver is often personal curiosity and understanding, with a fair bit of showing off (academic egos are something else; I am self aware enough to realise I am not immune to this though I do try to tame it).

Are professors who don’t teach or mentor, just academic executives who raise money and market other people’s work? When did teaching stop being an important part of this job?

Benchmarking should be a continuous effort by some sort of stable community (e.g. scverse), in a thorough and independent way, e.g. dreamchallenges.org

It's a VERY important point. Rather than benchmarking within a paper (which obviously is not independent btw), I'd prefer comp method papers to be (i) detailed in technical explanations, (ii) easily and fully reproducible, with multiple case studies. 1/2
