#MLCB2024 will be Sept 5-6 as a hybrid event in Seattle (nice time to be in the PNW!) with a great lineup of keynotes from Ava Amini, Maria Chikina, Jian Zhou and Nilah Ioannidis. Registration is free and submission deadline is June 15th. More deets at mlcb.github.io.

#MLCB2024 deadline extended to June 17!!

📢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 🕊️🧠👀🏙️✨

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

#MLCB2024 kicks off in 22h (9am PST) with keynote from Jian Zhou on DL for transcriptional initiation! Full schedule at mlcb.github.io and public livestream at youtube.com/live/reqWvNOKl…. Please RT!

Two Troyanskaya Lab alums — Jian Zhou & Maria Chikina — 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.

#MLCB2024 is live at youtube.com/live/GflTIcI5i… ! First up Jian Zhou on interpretable DL for transcription initiation.

The fantastic #MLCB2024 talks, spotlights, panel & keynotes are now up on our Youtube channel at youtube.com/watch?v=tWzIK1…. Please RT!

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

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

Please could some Pyro folks (Fritz Obermeyer Theofanis Karaletsos Nicholas Mancuso) give me some insight on what I'm doing wrong here? forum.pyro.ai/t/error-with-e…

There are 10 days left to submit abstracts to ProbGen meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…! Fantastic line-up of speakers and topics.

#MLCB2025 will be Sept 10-11 at NY Genome Center 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!

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.

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? 🤦‍♂️

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

*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
