Sigh. The level of profound confusion in the scRNA-seq analysis field keeps surprising me. I've now run into people that, in a discussion about technical artifacts of scRNA-seq, where I claimed there is no evidence for zero inflation, first insist that it does exist, and then 1/n

Is scRNAseq creating more problems than it can solve? I wonder...

Well... that "bump" has a statistical significance of 5 sigma, corresponding to a p value of 10^-5. Biologists often claim an effect with p<0.05. So it is quite the contrary of what you wrote: biologists do not ignore any bumps, they actually considering even weaker bumps as this

It is time to assign grants at random.

"Until 2017, my vision was 99% nonsense. Now it's 96% nonsense. This proves we're on a journey to the Moon." Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

Brilliant paper by Stefano Zapperi & Caterina La Porta Università degli Studi di Milano where they estimated #network patterns of #rumours #diffusion at the early onset of the 1789 #French #revolution. A nice example of how quantified #simulation models can help explain relevant puzzles! doi.org/10.1038/s41586…
