Ok, friends! If you’re a Daniocell user, it’s now available again outside of the NIH. Very sorry for any inconvenience this posed for any of you and thanks for your patience. We’re taking additional steps to hopefully prevent similar outages in the future. Happy surfing 🎣

If you love Daniocell, but wish it could generate analyses specific to YOUR genes & cell types of interest, check out DaniocellDesktop - a new point-and-click app for Mac and Windows that enables reanalysis of the Daniocell data without programming: daniocell.nichd.nih.gov/desktop/ (1/4)

Trenton does really interesting work!! Follow him and check out his research.
Hi Folks, I’m Trenton W. Ford, a Data Science Professor at William and Mary where I direct a research lab on Agentic AI, social media, and misinformation.
I don’t know how the algorithm works on Bluesky, but I’d like my feed to be full of scientists, gamers, hikers, and stationary obsessed people!
