It is clear empirical reality and arguably a fundamental axiom of science that you cannot accurately predict what research will prove to be important in the long run. And yet we continue to pretend that we can, and, what's worse, we put incredibly high stakes on the outcome.

Hi @DaleJohnsonESPN, is it strange for the AR to be wearing the watch with the GLT signal? On the video you can see her raise her arm in response to the buzzing.

So proud of this work lead by @CMUPittCompBio student Neha Cheemalavagu with collaborator @DoctorF. We systematically identify genes in global transcriptomic data that are predicted by dynamic signaling features and kinase perturbation.

Excited to present a rule-based #CellCycle model that explains location and dynamics of 16 observables at #ICSB2022 ! Check out the #SBML, @bionetgen and #PEtab model specifications on GitHub (bit.ly/3COdtEM). Feel free to improve/extend model or data with a PR. #sysbio

To deny gender-affirming resources to trans kids and to threaten their parents and guardians with claims of child abuse is MONSTROUS. If you want to help, support groups like @EqualityTexas. #protectTransKids

Paper just published in Briefings in Bioinformatics - A protocol for dynamic model calibration ift.tt/3oPOf22 #bioinformatics Great collaboration with @AlexFVillaverde @dilan_pathirana , @JanHasenauer and @fabfrohlich in the context of the @CanPathPro project
New paper out - how to calibrate dynamic (ODE) models. Step-by-step instructions, and code! Another nice collaboration in the framework of @CanPathPro

My team has just updated our already large database of PhD/Graduate fellowships and graduate student research funding opportunities. We found 200. For each fellowship, we provide link, description, deadline, eligibility, etc. Download here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding…

In this #TWiV Moshe and Ivet discuss their finding that MIS-C after #COVID19 is a consequence of a superantigen in the spike protein of #SARSCoV2 that activates a skewed population of T cell receptor bearing lymphocytes, leading to hyperinflammation bit.ly/3BulY4R

via @NYTOpinion. Excellent read. My take home: an accident involving release of pandemic causing virus could have happened many places and we should investigate the origins of the current one thoroughly not to punish but to prevent nytimes.com/2021/06/25/opini…
