When we arrived in Canada we received permanent residency upon landing at the airport. This made us a lot less vulnerable and gave us a fair shot in Canadian society. By comparison, temporary foreign workers are thrown directly to the wolves.

When you become a math graduate student and Terrence Tao calls you mediocre 😭

"As figure 1 clearly highlights..." Figure 1:

Congratulations on this incredible achievement, Jeffrey!!🎉

Every day, I am thankful I did not become an IQ researcher.

Everything is hard. Choose your hard.  Academia is hard: crap-shoot job market, reviewer2, steep hierarchy, power abuse Industry is hard: mass layoff, job insecurity, cog in the machine, corporate politics Entrepreneurship is hard: insolvency, getting sued, chaotic schedule🧵

First person in the family to become an academic: Cons: - No money - No investments - Questionable career prospects - Wearing a backpack Pros: - more peer-reviewed articles than siblings

My 3 favourite things about being a scientist: your full time job is to solve mysteries (how cool is that!), constantly being amazed by how beautiful & surprising the natural world is, getting to work with people who are smarter than you & have skills you only dream of having.

I’m thankful for every grad student who is putting in work today writing, reading, and analyzing, instead of slopping around watching parades and other nonsense. Stay the path. Get it done.

Best part of academic publishing is pirating your own article because you don’t have journal access

It sure has been fun to become a scapegoat for the far right’s qualms with academia for a couple of days.

1/ 🧵 So excited to finally share our preprint! Long-read sequencing of hundreds of diverse brains provides insight into the impact of structural variation (SV) on gene expression and DNA methylation- A new genomic resource for brain research! 🧠✨biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

longcallD is a new variant caller for genomic long reads. It jointly calls phased small and structural variants. Single binary, one command line for the whole process. Comparable accuracy to mainstream callers. Great work by Yan Gao. github.com/yangao07/longc…
