Hi! I am a scientist who works with #biomedical data to better understand #neurodegenerative & #neuropsychiatric disorders and ovarian #cancer. My research is funded by the NIH and nonprofits. If you have Qs about how recent changes are impacting #science, I'm happy to chat

Common research gaps you should know: ⬇️

Health officials: "anyone who was at LAX Terminal B on Feb 19 between 1 and 4 p.m. may be at risk of developing measles.”

In our newest preprint, we think about a conceptual framework for building a training data corpus that maximizes the performance of deep learning models in single-cell. Had so much working on this with Ajay Nadig during his internship at Microsoft Research! Check out his thread below!

Geospatial data science is all about having access to good data. Here are a list of my favourite free geospatial resources:

Software update: Dan Kowal was kind enough to include an implementation of our hierarchical Bayesian bootstrap in his SeBR R package (which also has other great regression tools!) - complete w/ help files and examples. drkowal.github.io/SeBR/reference… degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

Many students find Bayesian linear regression confusing, especially when it comes to sampling the posterior! 😕 To help, I coded a Metropolis-Hastings sampler from scratch 🔄 and added extra content on MCMC methods, along with model visualizations 📊 and links to my YouTube

Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science openrxiv

Does science make you rich? No. Is there good work-life balance? No. But at least it’s easy, right? Also no

This week, I teach you how to do your own research. Link in replies.

Thinking of her this March 31st (and also all other days)

Geospatial traffic data is incredibly tough to find. To make things easier for you, I've compiled a comprehensive list of traffic and mobility datasets:

Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

Are AI Tools Replacing Scientific Writing? Here's what some leading scientists have to say ⤵ Repost & Save (with 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘦.𝘮𝘦) — Tools like ChatGPT are good helpers (but poor creators) — AI can speed up writing (but it's not ready to take over scientific thinking). —

So here's a thing I got asked when I was talking about teen birth rates and the national birth rate generally: "If girls/women are most fertile from 15-30, why are we losing more than a decade to that for education for no good reason?" I'm not going to entertain "why 15-17 year

I’m teaching a 3-hour session on Bayesian causal inference at Penn Causal Inference Summer Institute, 5/27-5/30. Virtual attendance options are available. There are sessions on many other really cool topics as well -check out the agenda: dbei.med.upenn.edu/news-events/20…

The report HHS sent to congress to justify the changes in vaccine recommendations for healthy non-elderly people and pregnant women has all kinds of misrepresentations and errors, as outlined by this report, and clearly does not accurately reflect the state of the scientific

It can be a nightmare to find official sub-national shapefiles. Luckily, there are a number of sources that make the job easier:
