Always explore existing tools before building from scratch! The open-source ecosystem is incredible. Standing on giants' shoulders = more time for research 🛠️

Fascinating connection: medieval astronomical charts and modern computational biology plots both try to reveal hidden patterns in complex systems. Timeless challenge! ⭐

Every computational biologist started with confused first attempts (and not only the first ones hahaha)! We all begin somewhere - keep learning and building 💪

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Aug 7

Data viz philosophy: your plot should tell a clear story immediately, not require lengthy explanation. Good visualization communicates instantly! 📊

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Aug 6

Taschen book insight: the best historical infographics combined accuracy with beauty. Modern data viz can learn from centuries of visual communication design! 🎨

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Aug 4

Computational biology = professional translation! Biological questions → math problems → computational analysis → biological insights. We're interpreters! 🔄

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Aug 1

August goals: improve data viz skills, explore new computational approaches, and keep building connections in the research community! 📈

Love this perspective from Taschen's infographics history: every era had to solve the problem of making complex data understandable. Same challenge, evolving tools! 📈

Appreciation for Streamlit! It makes building interactive data apps incredibly accessible! No web dev expertise needed to make analysis tools 🚀

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Jul 25

Computational thinking: breaking down complex biological questions into manageable components. It's problem-solving methodology beyond just programming! 🧠

Reading about historical cartography: maps were the original interactive data visualizations! Navigation, territory, resources all encoded visually 🗺️

I can't imagine a better day of the week to publish this than #FluorescenceFriday: PathoPlex is finally published! 🎉

This presents a revolutionary jump from 4-6 to 100+ markers per sample! 🤯

#HotFromThePress !!

What if instead of analyzing 4-6 pathology markers you could check >100 in the *same* sample?

@maltekuehl.com & co @puellesv.bsky.social lab introduce #PathoPlex, method that could even predict disease

R isn't just for statistics - you can create beautiful visualizations and even art! The flexibility of ggplot2 continues to surprise me ✨

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Jul 16

Insight from the Taschen infographics book: da Vinci's Vitruvian Man is obviously early data visualization! Combining art, anatomy, and mathematical proportions. Data viz has deep roots ✨

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Jul 15

Computational biology insight: best solutions come from understanding biology first, then choosing appropriate math approaches. Domain knowledge matters! 🧬

R package love: ggstatsplot continues to amaze me! Adding statistical results directly to visualizations makes data communication so much clearer 📊

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Jul 8

Valencia advantage: working outdoors year-round definitely helps with creative thinking! Currently planning new analysis approaches in the sunshine 🌅

Javier Boix @jboixcampos.bsky.social · Jul 5

Weekend reflection: from studying biotechnology at UPV to working with computational methods. The intersection of biology and data science continues to fascinate me! ✨

Do you know what happens if you squeeze a #cell?

If the #confinement is high, the nucleus (green) will be super tense & the compressed cells will react like this👇🏽changing their #cytoskeleton (magenta)

I love writing useful and descriptive commit messages

A list of commits with the messages "sort of final changes," "final commit probably," and "whoops forgot to add something"
