Proof?
• Improved breast cancer subtyping vs PAM50
• Links to survival + tumor mutational burden
• Free R package + web app for the community

The solution: kPPA-CART
It digs into those low-signal regions, integrates transcriptomics, proteomics & methylation data, and finds real biological meaning others miss.

What’s the problem? 🤔
Most computational tools in bioinformatics only detect strong, obvious signals. Subtle, low-intensity features (the ones that really matter for biology) get lost in the noise.

Like Dj Khalid, another one from the KarakachLab!
We just dropped kPPA-CART in @narjournal.bsky.social, a new machine learning method that finds hidden signals in messy multi-omics data. From kidney aging 🧬 to breast cancer 🎗️, it uncovers patterns others miss.

Keep Dal Strong
Dalhousie Faculty Association

Hey @dalhousieu.bsky.social, does this qualify as an own goal?

I gave a symposium talk at the European Society for Evolutionary Biology 2025 (#eseb2025) meeting last week and this was my title slide showcasing how I was speaking as an independent scientist because @dalhousieu.bsky.social @dalhousie.bsky.social has locked us out.

All welcome to join DFA's 1st rally in 23 years! In front of the Killam Library, Friday August 22 at 12 noon, half an hour only. See you there! Help us to #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @nsgeu.bsky.social

Here’s where we stand:

My union moved on salary and was willing to talk: Dal mgmnt was not interested

My union offered to find ways to save money: Mgmnt said no.

My union wanted to work together to build new child care: Mgmnt didn’t care.

Let’s #KeepDalStrong, we said. No, they replied.

The last post in our series re: the Aug 11 letter from @dalhousieu.bsky.social Pres Brooks to DFA Pres Westwood. RESPECT, VALUE, RECOGNITION of faculty have NOT been reflected at the table. Dal must do better to #KeepDalStrong. @cupe3912.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

Struggling to make ends meet, many early career faculty need second jobs or side-hustles to support their families. And @dalhousieu.bsky.social - the largest university in Atlantic Canada - thinks a 2% wage increase is acceptable? Think again. #KeepDalStrong @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

Hahahaha

I don’t know enough about this E. DRC conflict but the @economist.com has one of those irritating western centric opinion pieces today that makes me think that chaos in DRC is highly desirable for a lot of people.

This is a no-brainer: a Granny who wants to volunteer at a school lunch program has to get a security clearance.
And yet Pierre Poilievre who lives in a 19-room mansion funded by the taxpayer refuses or can't get a security clearance.
Something stinks here.

Good one, but it speaks about median, not average. I see a pattern in this list though. These are countries where civil war was not the driving factor in emigration

Glad my favorite person on twitter is here. This content is really helpful for students, postdocs and even ECR’s like yours truly.

I’m glad my favorite person on twitter moved here

Every time you open your social media feed, you're bombarded with headlines, statistics, and claims that could reshape your worldview.

The terrifying part?

And many of us can't tell which of these are true anymore.

But the consequences are reshaping entire democracies.

Mostly fine today; a few lingering flurries this am esply Ann. Valley.
An intense storm over NL Sunday spreads snow & very strong north winds into PEI & E NS. Avoid travel esply in Inverness-Victoria CB in blizzard conditions.
Prepare for outages. Ugh.
Gradually eases off Monday
