Wrote part of a chapter in the am and cycled 45km around the island in the afternoon, I think this is work life balance? 🤷🏼‍♀️ ✍️ 🚴 Tapoka Mkandawire

Thanks to Björn F.C. Kafsack for this great spotlight on our latest addition to the #MalariaCellAtlas! Soon to be rounded out with some gametocyte 🌙 work coming from myself, Andy Russell and @SunilDogga

Bik, who won the John Maddox prize for standing up for science in the face of harassment, intimidation and lawsuits, said the intense pressure to publish papers is leading to a “dilution” of the quality of scientific literature. theguardian.com/science/2021/d…

Until the pre-print posts, I figured I would put together a thread for those who want to see the data. Many thanks to Wilfredo F. Garcia-Beltran, MD, PhD, @kstdenis29, Evan Lam, Adam Nitido, Vivek Naranbhai who have been up at all hours of the night both at the bench and writing the paper! 1/16

I must admit that this annotated Nature abstract remains a useful recipe for constructing a summary paragraph. I show it to my students every time we get started.

After more than three years of work, our analysis and reinterpretation of RNA velocity is out! Main take-aways: - beware embeddings - beware normal distributions - model biophysics are key - many models can be solved exactly, but fitting them is an open problem

Happy International Women's Day! It's a privilege to work with so many great women in science every day. To celebrate, I chatted to @CranageA with Dr. Juli Cudini, @petrathepostdoc and Marilou to share our experiences 🦋🪰🧬 sangerinstitute.blog/2022/03/08/mak… #InternationalWomensDay.

Happy spring! What plant is your mental health irrevocably tied to the success of? Mine is this avocado 🌱

How you know it’s time to log off on a Friday afternoon 🥲👋

Proud to see the work of an excellent PhD student, Arthur Radley, now published in StemCellReports - a cool method to do feature selection in single cell data mitigating noise cell.com/stem-cell-repo… Work together with Austin Smith, Elena Corujo-Simon and Jenny Nichols

Massive news: eLife to abolish accept/reject decisions: papers will just be “peer reviewed”. Others can argue about this, but lots of interesting consequences. 1/9 elifesciences.org/articles/83889

Really excited to see this work come out, and a huge thank you to @SunilDogga and Dr. Arap Rop for their hard work pushing this over the line🦟🌙
