@LaptopBiologistI study the evolution of repetitive DNA and try really hard to avoid pipetting. I'm pretty good at not pipetting.

One thing that's remained constant over the years: I don't believe in doing any more math than I have to. One thing that's changed over the years: My definition of "have to."
Scientists: what if we, like, assign a highly specific mathematical meaning to a highly polysemous common-language term and then utilise the term promiscuously to mean both the circumscribed formal thing and like 8 other things simultaneously
We are actively looking for a lab manager/technician to join us! Informal inquiries welcome! #Dros21
Plus, we are looking for a lab manger/technician to join our journey of studying transposable elements evolution in sunny California!! recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF06571
Looking for a postdoc? Interested in TEs, their regulation, or their impact on germlines? DM or email me, I want you to join my lab at UH, funded by an R35. Start date flex. Houston is AWESOME when it's safe to go to restaurants and museums. Plz retweet! nsmn1.uh.edu/eskelleh/
Meg Mitchell, lead of the Ethical AI team has been fired. She got an email to her personal email. After locking her out for 5 weeks. There are many words I can say right now. I'm glad to know that people don't fall for any of their bull. To the VPs at google, I pity you.
Since there was interest in how I addressed this question, here's a thread on what I said in class. TLDR: if you're operating under certain narrow assumptions about what data analysis is, maybe you should worry about looking at data too much. But usually its better not to 1/
A student in my visualization class emailed to ask that I talk about why her social science friends warn her looking at data too much is bad. I have literally never been so happy to create new content! I just hope they know that all guarantees this is a vis class are now off...
Does anyone know someone that recently came to the US from Europe on J1 visa? I would love to learn how to do so (trying to rescue a strained new lab member....). Thank you!
I keep getting more and more excited by JAX. I'm still pretty attached to PyMC3 for posterior sampling (which is now being developed with a JAX backend) but I'm definitely adding this to my list of libraries to play around with.
Repeating one of my favourite productivity tips for new followers. A PowerPoint file (pptx) is actually a Zip file in disguise. If you simply change the .pptx file extension to .zip and unzip, you directly access all embedded media at their original size & resolution. See below!
Just for the record, Minari is an American movie written and directed by an American filmmaker set in America with an American lead actor and produced by an American production company 👀
#GoldenGlobes: #Minari will not be competing in the best picture categories, instead it will be considered in foreign language film because it is primarily in Korean bit.ly/2WF52G8
New post! What I wish someone had explained to me about tensor computation libraries like PyTorch, Theano and JAX. eigenfoo.xyz/tensor-computa…
I like footnotes. I like origami. I don't like pseudoscience. This origami textbook really has it all. ("Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art", 2nd Edition by Robert J. Lang)
This is a neat thread. I haven't read the paper yet, but a framework for quantifying the robustness of results seems like a useful tool to have in the toolkit.
Hello! Tamara Broderick, Ryan Giordano and I have a new working paper out!! It's called "An Automatic Finite-Sample Robustness Metric: Can Dropping a Little Data Change Conclusions?" arxiv.org/abs/2011.14999
I want to normalize this for my fellow computational researchers: It can be very difficult to predict how much time is needed to complete a new large coding project for a research question no one has asked before. It's NOT you. It's the process. #AcademicTwitter #WomenWhoCode

Because women tend to be denied access to regular employment on an even larger basis than men in Japan, they also enjoy a lower degree of employment security. This means that they don't just earn less, but they're also more likely to be laid off during times of economic crisis.
Suicides among women in Japan under 30 are up by 74% over the last year. this concerning trend is likely to be linked to increased job losses in the coronavirus era. www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/2020…
#statistics note to self: For EM-like algorithms (applies to other, real-world contexts): Slow progress is not necessarily an indication of convergence...
