Nothing has changed since I demonstrated with my dad 6 years ago for more funding for science. That's why we are marching once more tomorrow for workers day denouncing the lack of scholarship and grants in Canada.

⁦Support Our Science⁩ in Victoria

Great demo today with Support Our Science. We demand a living wage, more scholarships and grants for science.

Voici la nouvelle équipe qui compose désormais l'Aébinum. De droite à gauche, nous avons Cécile Poulain, Simon Paquette,Thomas Renne, vice-président secrétaire, Alexis Nolin-Lapalme, David Hamelin, président, Sam Pedro, Léa Kaufmann, Vanda Gaonac'h-Lovejoy et Sayeh Kazem 🎉

We pretended to be freshman students at UNSW for a day 😎

Second poster (#149) from The Smith Laboratory tonight at #LorneGenome LorneGenomeConferenc by @BiologistQuirky: A comparative benchmarking of conserved RNA secondary structure prediction tools for the systematic annotation of non-coding RNAs. Ask Vanda about R-scape, SISSIz & lncRNAs

You know where to find me between sessions LorneGenomeConferenc

Last day in Lorne today 🥲What a wonderful conference LorneGenomeConferenc was. Great weather, fascinating talks and wonderful people 🥰.

The 12 types of ML papers. (created by Natasha Jaques Max Kleiman-Weiner) #MachineLearning #ML #DataScience

Me after writing one paragraph of my paper (which I’ll likely delete later)

I'm glad to share our most recent article with Shaun Lovejoy in the The Paleontological Society journal "Paleobiology" presenting so called Fractional MacroEvolution Model (FMEM), which reflects key features of macroevolution - scaling and long memory doi.org/10.1017/pab.20… 1/n

I recorded nearly every* breastfeeding session with my older daughter over 1.5 years. Mostly so I could someday make some charts. Yay charts! *I only missed a very small handful of feeds!

False eyelashes are incredibly popular but can I just say as an ophthalmologist, they look horrifying under 10x magnification. The lashes are so densely packed that they trap all the dead skin cells, dirt, and oily secretions from your eyelids. It’s a sebaceous swamp in there and

Looking forward to the next few days🤓

Incredible talk on generative ai and how it can transform biomedical research by @jameszou #ISMB2024

First day at work.

Do long non-coding RNAs form conserved, functional secondary structures?🧬䷰𐂷 How can we systematically assess this? We compared 2 tools fit for this task (SISSIz & R-scape) across 2 genomic benchmarking strategies. Spoiler: machine learning wins (🧵/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The great thing about interpretable ML is that you can look at feature importance in the resulting classifier, which exposed some interesting findings. Notably, minimum free energy is somewhat important! (9/)

This eventuated with ECSfinder, a pipeline that can be used to detect evolutionarily conserved 2D structures (ECS) with greater accuracy than individual tools. All work led by PhD candidate Vanda G-Lovejoy with significant contributions from Martin Sauvageau and John Mattick (10/10)
