Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I'm honored my research was garnered this support and proud of everyone in my group for their contributions to the work. I'm thankful to be able to continue mentoring my lab as they find their own paths.

Early-stage investigators proposed innovative high-impact research ideas for the @NIHDirector’s New Innovator Award. See the projects the awardees will pursue: commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator/A… #NIHHighRisk

A "most read" for anyone interested in complex systems and biological information processing. Also add to that Simon's "Architecture of complexity". ps. I highly recommend the series of "Foundational papers in complex systems" from @sfiscience and can't wait for the 4th vol!

#TBT 1973 – Herbert A. Simon published “The Organization of Complex Systems in Hierarchy Theory,” a far-reaching and reasonably accessible account arguing that complex systems can decompose neatly into digestible components. SFI’s External Professor John Kaag…

Feeling energized after reading PLAYING WITH REALITY. @kellybclancy's neuro-basis exploration of our naive optimism in game theory and its influence on AI is an absolute delight and an all-time favorite read.


Later today I will sneak through a construction site, slip into a server room, and plug in a USB drive that I can boot up remotely… This is the most cyberpunk I will ever be, except for the part where it’s my server and I’m on day 3 of installing Ubuntu.

So excited to announce our new method for multiplexed RNA imaging in bacterial cells: bacterial-MERFISH! A huge congratulations to the team of @AriSarfatis, Yuanyou Wang, and Nana Twumasi-Ankrah! Check out the following thread or our bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) 1/12


I don’t think I should have 1 on 1 meetings in my office until this finishes blooming.

Not having dated earlier in life, I am not emotionally equipped to break up with my supercomputer cluster. Reddit is surprisingly unhelpful with this challenging life event.


I’m in a Southern CA coffee shop and they are rocking the 90’s LA “young and depressed” playlist. Really takes me back to the pile of records/tapes/CDs that I needed to survive my teens.

What drives fMRI signals to go up or down? Beyond conventional “neurovascular coupling”, our latest work @NatureComms reveals critical factors in the striatum by controlling and measuring key cell types and circuits across scales, modalities, and species: nature.com/articles/s4146…

I screwed up my graduation forms so bad I had to return to NYU a year later. Joel met me at the admin office and said. “I want you to know you are only the second worst administrative headache we’ve ever had and #1 is now a PI at Columbia.” A truly kind person.

The world lost Joel D. Oppenheim last week. One of his mentees reached out to me. Here are some of the words she chose to share with the many other mentees who are hurting. All of you are in my thoughts. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 psychologytoday.com/us/blog/optimi…



For a small fee I will email your enemy an apology for missing their talk.


I wrote a grant but realized my collaborator would do a better job on the project and I should just co-advise students so I made them the PI upon submitting. Based on all the administrative emails received this week, this is insane behavior.


Friday night centrifuge panic! Lid not closing in the middle of a protocol! I call it “craft night at the BioProtean lab.” 20 min fix of a spring housing with expanded aluminum mesh.

I also got the R21 Trailblazer so I get to skip 2 NIH cycles as a treat.


After almost a year of wrestling with a problem, my systems bio collaborator suggested cMonkey. The algorithm that introduced me to Bayesian methods 15 years ago and he had rewritten in 2015 I was too caught up in current tools to see one that already worked.


All of my students need to get unstuck and I have chosen lab over emails. I can already feel the consequences looming.
