1/n I'm excited to share our preprint *Large-scale clinical interpretation of genetic variants using evolutionary data and deep learning* biorxiv.org/content/10.110… from a great collab with Pascal Notin Mafalda Dias @AidanNGomez Dr. Kelly Brock Yarin (OATML_Oxford) Debora Marks 🧵

I'll relax once I submit this paper. I'll relax once I submit my thesis. I'll relax once I defend my thesis. I'll relax after I get a post-doc. Damn! I guess I'll have to relax after I get a permanent position. No. The future always gets busier. Schedule proper breaks NOW. 💛

So excited to share my first ever publication as 1º author Molecular Cell!! 🌟🥳It has been amazing this collaboration between M. Carmo-Fonseca @Taka_Nojima and Nick Proudfoot labs! Check out our POINT technology paper, where we shed light on the nascent RNA world 🔎

Great first day at GECCO 2026 with Alcides Fonseca and Pedro Barbosa! 🤔 Interesting talks 🤸20 km walk around the city 🍝 Cosy dinner with @ecoscisuc, Giorgia Nadizar and others

A 🧵 on burnout Yesterday I learned that when people are burnt out, their amygdala enlarges. For all you non-neuroscientists, here's what that means and why it's important. 1/ #AcademicChatter Academic Chatter™ Academic Encouragement

And we did it again! Today we received at INESC-ID 25 participants from several portuguese institutions for the #Workshop on Decoding the Genome with #deeplearning with Bernardo Almeida. Thank you Bernardo Almeida for your amazing talks and hands-on sessions. See you all soon! 😊

Genetics is just beautiful 🤯

Glad to finally see this out! 😀
