sciRED is now officially out Nature Communications !🚀 nature.com/articles/s4146… The peer-reviewed version includes several new analyses beyond our preprint, so check it out even if you’ve seen it before! Huge thanks to Gary Bader and Tallulah Andrews for their incredible guidance.

I interviewed for LLM/ML research scientist/engineering positions last Fall. Over 200 applications, 100 interviews, many rejections & some offers later, I decided to write the process down, along with the resources I used. Links to the process & resources in the following tweets

How cool is this? Michal Lipinski from Broad Institute presenting stacked #Illumina spatial slides of the mouse brain with subcellular transcriptome resolution #AGBTGM

Interested in exploring Vevo Therapeutics’s massive Tahoe-100M single-cell perturbation dataset? #Scanpy now supports out-of-core analysis, powered by Dask—allowing you to seamlessly work with a single huge AnnData object without loading everything into memory. 🔗 theislab.github.io/vevo_Tahoe_100…

(1/n) The first preprint from our lab is now out in Nature Genetics! We tried to tackle a key challenge in spatial biology to quantitatively characterizing cellular niches by learning spatial gene programs using NicheCompas led by Sebastian Birk. Paper: shorturl.at/b4Hjk

Super happy about this one. Go, try and let us know how Segger is doing in your hands!

I loved working with dana_peer, specifically, how she really doubles down (quite obsessively!) on the biological/scientific rigour and reliability of the method. Highly recommend to take a look at her version of segger's story. I learned a thing or two myself 😅

Stress can either forge resilience or trigger depression. A captivating nature study reveals that a hippocampal-amygdala pathway encodes the resilience trait, and stimulating this circuit can even reverse stress-induced depression.

Imagine if there were no politics involved, Iranians and Jews would’ve made so much scientific progress beyond imagination. Two nations with extreme value for science baked into their culture. Yet, in 2025, we are f‘ed by our blood thirsty govs. Who block potentials. What a waste
