Happy upcoming Pioneer Award Application Day to all who celebrate. I was mentioning that the best review comment I've ever gotten came from the related DP2 (New Innovator) mechanism. Enjoy this throwback to #GrantReviewGreatstHits as the deadline gets closer! May you all do better than I've done!

What is the point of published abstracts?? Does anyone find them useful for anything? As if we don't already have enough clutter in the literature 😳

Thread: Multi-omics sounds cool—until you actually try it. Here's are the nuances.

You’ve got RNA-seq.
Methylation.
Proteomics.
Time to “integrate” the data.
But how? And why?
Let’s break it down.

This is a lovely thread of self-introductions from members of the compbio/genomics crowd on BlueSky. It feels a bit more friendly and warm than a starter pack

Casey Greene @casey.greenelab.com · Nov 12

There are so many people moving over that I'm sure I'm missing folks. Can we make a #compbio / #genomics intro thread to get reacquainted?

I'm at the University of Colorado. I often say that if you pick two of three from #transcriptome, #ML, and #publicdata, my lab is probably interested.

Life-saving treatments exist because of decades of research, but cuts to NIH-funded research put that progress at risk.

When the unthinkable happens, will the care we need still be there? We must protect this lifeline.

Last year, I was surprisingly diagnosed with AML. Attacks on science that we currently face threaten future scientific discoveries that can benefit individuals' health. This should scare us all. Read more about my story and thoughts on this below (with @casey.greenelab.com).
