First - I really enjoyed meeting Joseph Rich this week (who is fantastic, thanks Lior for the intro!). He has done awesome work exploring implementation details, and we talked about ways to potentially work together as well (see the end of this thread)

After feeding all of my life‘s data into a foundation model, it accurately predicts pretty much everything i do. and the explainable stuff revealed only trivia driving my decisions. curious if others have more interesting experiences?

Our Single Cell Genomics Day - highlighting our favorite new sc/spatial methods - starts Friday at 10AM ET!

The most common question we get: is this open to anyone? Yes! Talks are free and live-streamed (no registration required) on Youtube and satijalab.org/scgd

Join us for the 17th Berlin Summer Meeting – AI’s Adventures in Genomics, 6-7 June 2024 to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and prospects in harnessing AI for biomedical research and applications! Registration: bit.ly/bsmAI #mdcBerlin

ok solution: this is the view from albert einstein’s desk from his summer house @ caputh near berlin where he loved to be before traveling to the US and, upon learning about nazi rise to power in 1933, never to return. the house was “confiscated’ by the nazis but today a museum.

the first person who guesses the person sho worked looking through these windows will get a bottle of champagne from me

the most famous venus, right here at the gemäldegalerie.plus 100 more master works. incredible experience. comparable to metr. museum in nyc or louvre in many aspecrs. ⁦Musée du Louvre⁩ ⁦The Metropolitan Museum of Art⁩ ⁦Max Delbrück Center⁩ ⁦MDC-BIMSB⁩

more fun to read than many UMAPs ⁦Lior Pachter⁩ ⁦NimwegenLab⁩

Sometimes the forgotten get some justice….i thought this way incredibly inspiring and original:

When giving a presentation, don’t show anything on a slide that you do not intend to fully discuss. Powerpoint is supposed to help the speaker explain, not impress..

We invite you to the next instalment of 'Spark: creative processes in the arts and sciences,' with pianist SooJin Anjou and jazz musician Reggie Moore at #mdcBerlin | MDC-BIMSB on Monday, February 19th: mdc-berlin.de/de/news/events…

About 'Spark': mdc-berlin.de/news/news/elem… Nikolaus Rajewsky

the original spaghetti carbonara. no cream. straight from heaven. supporting my intense time here at beautiful La Sapienza in Rome with countless exciting discussion/seminars.

while walking through the Tiergarten today i heard sounds wafting through the cold never heard before. Have the gates to hell or heavens opened? the last judgement? Stockhausen? No, hundreds of protesting farmers working their horns.

At the MDC-BIMSB, Nikolaus Rajewsky and I have established a large collaborative effort to push single cell and spatial transcriptomics towards full isoform resolution. Lots of long read data (organoids & mouse models)!

Super excited about our new Spatial Transcriptomics method! Developed in Nikolaus Rajewsky Lab, this was a massive effort from several colleagues over several years :)

Congratulations to Dr Cledi Alicia Cerda Jara who did a brilliant PhD defense about her exciting scientific findings about mir-7 and CDR1As in activated neurons. (check her bio preprint!). and thanks to all the colleagues who contributed!

(my previous tweet was created by chatGPT when prompted “write me a completely meaningless text about modern university policies”)
sounds actually pretty accurate 😃

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern university policies, the ethereal dance of bureaucratic acrobatics orchestrates a symphony of perplexing protocols. Navigating convoluted corridors of institutional legalese, one encounters a surreal amalgamation of jargon, where ….
