My message to Trump’s NIH Director? No one in America wants us to do LESS cancer research.
No one is asking Trump to make it harder to cure Alzheimer's disease.
Yet Trump is cutting all of this NOW and demanding an $18 BILLION cut to NIH next year. Not on my watch.

According to a 2021 report, the University of California system:
• generated $82B in economic activity in California
• supported 529K jobs in the state
• generated $21 in economic output for every $1 received
Public divestment from higher ed makes no sense, even in the narrowest economic terms.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

I'm excited to release what I've been cooking up the past few months at @arcinstitute.org
BINSEQ is a family of binary file formats for sequencing data built with paired records and parallel processing in mind with big performance gains (2x-40x) over gzip-fastq with similar storage

I am excited to announce the release of our BioRxiv preprint: “Network-aware self-supervised learning enables high-content phenotypic screening for genetic modifiers of neuronal activity dynamics”. 1/
Network-aware self-supervised learning enables high-content phenotypic screening for genetic modifiers of neuronal activity dynamics
High-throughput phenotypic screening has historically relied on manually selected features, limiting our ability to capture complex cellular processes, particularly neuronal activity dynamics. While r...
