Another year, another conference! Thank you to all the speakers, sponsors and organisers. We couldn’t have asked for a better spread of events, and it’s all not possible without our community spirit. Until next year! #cbc23

UMAP and t-SNE are widely used in single-cell genomics to identifying features of interest, and visually explore data. In a new paper w/ Tara Chari we find that extensive distortions and inconsistent practices make such embeddings counter-productive.🧵journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… 1/

This is a great nuanced summary of this paper. It gives the author's praise for the very cool idea they have, while (rightfully) criticising them for their thesaurus swamp of a writing style and their attempts to massively exaggerate their research

Check out this great spatial transcriptomics paper I helped do analysis on. It was a great experience to work with such cool data and try out all the new fancy spatial techniques. Watch this space for more interesting spatial work! #visium #spatialtranscriptomics

Was great to be able to present the work we've done on a T. Cruzi single cell transcriptome atlas at #KMCB. Thank you to Manu De Rycker and Dr Marta Garcia Sanchez for the collaboration on what has been a fascinating scientific journey! Thomas D. Otto

After four interesting years I officially passed my PhD last friday! This would not be possible without all the amazing people in the institute and the support of my supervisors: Thomas D. Otto, Richard McCulloch, Keith Matthews and Emma Marie Briggs.

Excited to share the work we've been doing in collaboration with Manu De Rycker and Dr Marta Garcia Sanchez on the first Trypanosoma cruzi scRNA-seq atlas. If anyone has any questions please reach out, I am always happy to discuss this cool project!
