This is a troubling read -- now added to my 4th year tutorials on research reproducibility, robustness and reliability: "No raw data, no science: another possible source of the reproducibility crisis" molecularbrain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Conservatives are increasingly disappearing from our politics, to be replaced by anti-democratic revolutionaries who disguise themselves in conservative clothes ⤵️

A LOVE SUPREME is the greatest. KIND OF BLUE is the best. The other two are perfect

In press now and with a beautiful graphical abstract by Margot Riggi! Great work everyone including the 🧺🗑️ for posing for our 📸 #teamtomo keep on snapping cellfies!

Our latest work has been published in Genome Biology - link.springer.com/article/10.118… where we explore the evolution of GC-content in protein coding genes and show that it evolves in a non-adaptive manner.

Happy 65th anniversary to Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue", released on this day in 1959.

This is another indication that the scientific publishing industry is broken. Whiny wannabe big-shot scientist complaining that he can't publish in the fashion mag. 🙄

Jorge Ben Jor, Sérgio Mendes, Gilberto Gil - Mas Que Nada (1979) 🥲

I'm mourning the death of Brazilian music star Sérgio Mendes (1941-2024). This track from his famous Brasil 66 band still sounds fresh and vibrant, so many decades later.

Delighted to see this study on systematic identification of RBP networks out in Nature Communications! A fun collaboration between the labs of Hani Goodarzi, Vanja (Ivan Kulakovskiy), and us! Massive congratulations to Matvei Khoroshkin and other authors (including Martin)! 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4146…
