🥳Happy to share our latest manuscript - out today in @NatureCellBio. 💜 Congrats and thanks to @Wenlong_Li1 and @Munta04, the whole lab, our collaborators and the funders that supported this important and beautiful 🤩 work! Hope you enjoy the read! nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Details of the inaugural @CR_UK #PancreaticCancer conference to be held in London (7-9 July 2026) below. Early bird registration closes on Jan 9. Abstract submission deadline March 15. cancerresearchuk.org/for-res… Share widely and hope to see you all there! 🇬🇧

Going from biotech to tech was an unexpectedly humbling experience, almost an egodeath. In biotech, doing bioinformatics during a PhD or postdoc is considered highly technical, you’re the “computer person” in a world of wet-lab scientists. But in tech, that experience doesn’t carry the same weight. If you haven’t trained a billion-parameter model or built a platform from scratch, you’re not seen as “technical” enough. The shift kinda forces you to rethink what being “technical” really means. Or perhaps we're in this bay area bubble of accusing each other of not being 'technical enough' till death takes us.

Uh oh: deep learning models in genomics lose badly to very simple linear models. Could they have been over-hyped? (new paper by @s_anders_m @const_ae and Wolfgang Huber) nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Academia must be the only industry where extremely high-skilled PhD students spend much of their time doing low value work (like data cleaning). A 1st year management consultant outsources this immediately. Imagine the productivity gains if PhDs could focus on thinking
