Just another reminder about reproducibility: when your paper has a figure such as attached, and then you write in “code availability” that the “paper does not report original code”—this is not true. Parameter choices, outlier filtering, package versions etc are all important

Yesterday I came across a moving documentary by Elie Honig on the trial of Adolph Eichmann. This year marks 60 years since it commenced on April 11, 1961. The documentary brought back memories of my visit to La Cumbre near Córdoba, Argentina in 2005.. 1/ x.com/eliehonig/stat…

Fitting a figure into 400px wide is probably an academic way of doing icon design

📣#NeurIPS2021📄 Why are we still debugging neural nets by staring at loss curves? We present Cockpit, a visual debugger for deep learning. Joint work with Felix Dangel & @PhilippHennig5 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2102.06604 Code: github.com/f-dangel/cockp… Video: youtu.be/wQsjgx3zfkQ 🧵

Finished reading Authority and american usage last night. It's been a while since I got so much intellectual pleasure and sense of insight from a text. I think it has a lot of valid criticism of academic writing, along with ideas on how to do better, and I hope to follow them.

I am proud of the work of our team on the flight of the smallest beetles, published in the third issue of nature this year. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/9

Someone at University of Virginia Library deserves a gold star for this amazing quiz about costs of the Big Four publishing contracts. You have got to see this. “What costs more?” virginia.libwizard.com/f/what-costs-m… #OpenAccess #Publishing #BigFour

Our review about zeroes in scRNA-seq data: clarify statistical and biological concepts; introduce 5 mechanisms of adding non-biological zeros for fair method benchmarking; compare 3 input data types: observed, imputed, and binarized counts: tinyurl.com/2p8rtfvd Genome Biology

More fun publisher surveillance: Elsevier embeds a hash in the PDF metadata that is *unique for each time a PDF is downloaded*, this is a diff between metadata from two of the same paper. Combined with access timestamps, they can uniquely identify the source of any shared PDFs.

If you work w/ single-cell RNA-seq & are performing RNA velocity analyses, you might find this Gennady Gorin et al. preprint w/ Meichen Fang & Tara Chari of interest. It's a deep dive into the method, and navigation of the 67 pages may be aided w/ this🧵1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm Belarusian. Seeing more and more hate against Belarusians as a result of Lukashenko's participation in Putin's atrocious war against Ukraine, I have a few things to say.

Key takeaway for me: spike of new accounts and account activity since Russia's invasion in Ukraine, apparently correlated with the messages (hard to actually see in the thread). Why important? “The world” is not just US&Europe&China&Japan. Talking with all others is important.

Я лингвистка и мне надоели мифы,которые используются в пропаганде. Тред с аргументами,вдруг пригодится Структура 1. «рус,укр и бел – диалекты одного языка»(нет) 2. «сограждане на основании языка» (нет) 3. «защита рус языка»(нет) 4. «Зеленский притворяется,что забыл рус»(нет)

I share same concerns: “truth” won't be enough to make people not act upon lies/misinformation (also because there are no facts). Good to see someone proposing other approaches

Both major medical journals agree: this decision will kill women.

Happy to share our work examining lung T cell responses during severe pneumonia—including #COVID19: nature.com/articles/s4159…. Huge lift 💪 from The NU SCRIPT Investigators NM Pulmonary and Thoracic Surgery Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. Kudos to Nikolay Markov @[email protected] Ziyou Ren & Karolina Senkow 🧵
