*Every single* cure for a disease ultimately flowed from basic exploratory research. Stopping basic research is like stopping the mountain rains and expecting rivers of cures to still flow. Examples: 1) studying saliva of Gila monster -> GLP1's 2) studying funghi -> first…

As a taxpayer (irrespective of whether you’re a scientist) would you would be in favor of more of the @NIH budget going to fund efforts to solve specific diseases at the expense of basic exploratory research? Which diseases?

explainer for the tech bros. 60% is added on top of direct cost (and equipment are not included). So for every dollar that goes to a scientist, roughly $0.80 is allowable. Then you add 60% facilities/admin costs on top ($0.48). Uni’s final cut is $0.48/$1.48 =0.324 of the grant

Your math is wrong dude. Let me get this straight. All this time you thought a that an indirect cost rate of 60% meant that Universities took 60% of the grant? 🤦‍♂️

Can you believe that universities with tens of billions in endowments were siphoning off 60% of research award money for “overhead”? What a ripoff!

Ok that's it I'm done here. I'll leave this account up to avoid it being eventually commandeered. but will not be posting/interacting.


#MLCB2025 will be Sept 10-11 at @nygenome in NYC! Paper deadline June 1st & in-person registration will open in May. Join our mailing list groups.google.com/g/mlcb/ for future announcements. More details at mlcb.github.io. Please RT!


Our first foray into (noncoding) rare variant association testing! gruyere learns functional annotation importance & finds associations missed by existing methods. @_anjalidas did a fantastic job with model assessment & scaling! Joint w @towfiqueRaj medrxiv.org/content/10.110…


The fantastic Machine Learning in CompBio #MLCB2024 papers are up at proceedings.mlr.press/v261/ (thanks @lawrennd !) Reminder that all the talks are available on our yt channel youtube.com/@mlcbconf. Please RT!

Two @TroyanskayaLab alums — @zhou_jian & @ChikinaLab — giving keynotes at #MLCB2024! Jian now talking about sequence basis of transcription initiation in the human genome. Tomorrow, Maria is talking about biophysically interpretable sequence to function models.

Looking forward to #MLCB2024 later this week! Really happy to see the wide variety of work being done. Sometimes, in the past, it seems like the field converged on the same set of problems... Sad that I won't be able to be there in person this year. :(

#MLCB2024 will be streamed live from YouTube this week (Thursday and Friday). Get the link from here: mlcb.github.io

📢I am elated to share that I will join the Center for Neural Science & Dept. of Psychology at NYU as an Assistant Professor in Sept 2025! My lab will use the remarkable food-caching behavior and active vision of chickadees to study the neural basis of episodic memory 🕊️🧠👀🏙️✨
