- I'm looking forward to re-teaching: Rethinking Data Analysis — A researcher’s guide to avoiding missteps and misuse This is an advanced short course on developing a mental toolkit for rigorous practice & critical consumption of statistical data analyses. 🧵 1/4

- Our Perspective article on Computational Strategies for Cross-Species Knowledge Transfer is now published in @natmethods.nature.com! This was a collab b/w @krishnanlab.bsky.social & @fishevodevogeno.bsky.social, led by the amazing Hao Yuan @yhbioinfo.bsky.social. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- 2/10 #ResearchOrganisms like 🐭 & 🐟 are crucial for studying genes, functions, cell types, & disease. But translating findings to 👨⚕️ is tricky. We explore data-driven methods to bridge the gap & introduce the concept of "agnologs" — functional equivalents identified independent of evolutionary origin.

- Congratulations! Kudos to @richabdill.com & @samanthagraham.bsky.social for leading this huge project! Thanks for bring us onboard! Mansooreh Ahmadian & Parker Hicks lead the part of the work on inferring study annotations from unstructured metadata and text from the linked publications.
- A favorite! Interestingly, Goodhart stated (in 1975): “Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.” Marilyn Strathern generalized it in 1997 to its famous version👇🏽 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
- Reposted by Arjun KrishnanRegularly tempted to write in my NIH grants innovation section: "Funding software that already exists and works well would be highly innovative for the NIH." (I bet half the panel would break down ROFL, but I'm also highly skeptical that I'd get a good score, or that the PO would be amused.)

- Monday motivation from the wonderful @pracheeac.bsky.social: “[I hate the term] incentive structure… if you ask people to do a thing that they perceive to be against those processes and principles, well, you can't ask that — that it's somehow unacceptable…
- Reposted by Arjun KrishnanI participated in a faculty panel a few weeks ago in which senior (ahem) faculty gave advice on careers in academia by pretending luck had very little to do with our success. One piece of advice riled me up, in which it was argued that a reason for their success was their ability to say no. 1/

- As a fan of the super @nightsciencepod.bsky.social (highly recommend it!), I enjoyed listening to the latest episode of another favorite — Work Life — where @adamgrant.bsky.social talks to Nathan Myhrvold about invention and creativity! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

For each fellowship, we provide a description, $ amount, deadline, link to funder and eligibility criteria (such as citizenship). Good luck! Download freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...
- Reposted by Arjun KrishnanThank you to everyone who joined our Town Hall on Opportunities for Allyship in Computational Biology last week, our largest event yet! We are grateful to have partnered with Chrissie Bonner of Illustrating Progress, who provided a live graphic recording of our event. 1/2
- The world doesn’t need one more blog, and yet I started one and plan to write semi-regularly! compbiologist.substack.com/p/computing-...
- Very much looking forward to #MLCB2023, meeting folks & learning a lot! Do checkout our PMLR poster, led by Renming Liu: Open Biomedical Network Benchmark: A Python Toolkit for Benchmarking Datasets with Biomedical Networks Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2023... Code: github.com/krishnanlab/...

- Everything you said + Google Scholar citation & author alerts + Semantic Scholar email digests.
- I strongly recommend getting a paid account on Interfolio, asking your letter writers to upload their letter there ONCE, and you sharing the letters directly from there for all your applications, even those that request referee emails!
