Professionally #spatial #transcriptomics and cell biology. Privately houseplants, easily distracted, doing my best ⭐
After seeing the ad for NDT's Masterclass with him saying "One of the great challenges in life is knowing enough to think you’re right but not enough to know you’re wrong." I keep thinking it is either poorly worded or a complete misinterpretation of Dunning-Kruger effect. Just had to let it out

My favourite talk so far, @mich-lipi.bsky.social from @broadinstitute.org presented stacked #Illumina spatial slides of the mouse brain transcriptome with subcellular resolution #AGBTGM
I'm sold on spatial now...

Fascinating work showing that ants working in groups outperform individual ants in solving the piano movers’ puzzle. Human groups do not show such improvement and can even perform worse than an individual person, if communication is restricted. #neuroscience 🧪 🧠
Ants Solving A Puzzle

When ants work in groups, their performances rise significantly.

What a cell does depends on its location. Experiments like single cell sequencing strip away signs of where a cell was in its original organ or tissue. New spatial -omics techniques collect in-depth molecular data from cells while retaining that spatial information. Learn more: youtu.be/izhZ9VB1jRM
Spatial -omics: "Location, location, location" applies to biology, too

The Broad’s Spatial Technology Platform supports scientists who want to study cells and tissues with spatial context. In a Q&A, STP director Sami Farhi explains how the team makes spatial tools more accessible and employs them for scientific discovery.
Q&A: How a Broad team uses cutting-edge spatial technologies to enable new science
Sami Farhi, director of Broad’s Spatial Technology Platform, describes how the group, launched in late 2022, supports scientists who want to study cells and tissues with spatial context.
