Today we are shining a light on #WorldLupusDay and taking a moment to show support for the millions affected by lupus. Our wonderful social committee hosted a bake sale and competition for the team supporting Lupus UK , one of our charity partners.

We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses! Explore the connectome: codex.flywire.ai Reconstruction paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Annotation paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6

We want to take a moment to thank our readers, authors, reviewers and Advisory Board members for their support and trust in our journal. This week we received our first Impact Factor of 17.0. While this is only one of the many metrics that could describe our journal, we are

📢 Bridging direct cell reprogramming and cancer immunotherapy: our new study on reprogramming cancer cells into antigen-presenting dendritic cells (Tumor-APCs) is out Science Immunology. Read on bit.ly/3PPtVeO to know more. #ScienceResearch #reprogramming

Clustering algorithms report clusters even when none exist. In single-cell RNA-Seq pipelines, novel cell types are often identified by clustering algorithms. Expanding on Kimes et al.'s work, we introduce significance analysis for single-cell RNA-Seq data: nature.com/articles/s4159…

✨✨ New Package ✨✨ Happy to announce that I am soft launching another R color palette package, {MoMAColors} today! Currently has 35 palettes based around artwork at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art. Download Instruction and Palettes here: github.com/BlakeRMills/Mo… #r4ds #dataviz #rstats

Saying farewell to ⁦Yuriy Baglaenko⁩! The lab won’t be the same without you!

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Assistant Professor at Cincinnati Children's! The Baglaenko Lab is live (baglaenkolab.com) and hiring all positions. Feel free to reach out if you have an interest in human immunology, genetics, and genomics.

1/ Today in Science, we train a neural net from scratch through the eyes and ears of one child. The model learns to map words to visual referents, showing how grounded language learning from just one child's perspective is possible with today's AI tools. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A huge congratulations! Great to see all of your hard work pay off🎉👏👩‍🔬

Excited for my first AACR conference! We have two great presentations: Hongcheng Yao and Alexander Tang will talk about T cells in MAPK+PD1 inhibition (talk 6555) and Mukta Palshikar shares on our CRC MERFISH efforts (abstract 5492) with Nir Hacohen, Jon Chen, and Karin Pelka

Thrilled to announce that I got promoted to professor at Keio University School of Medicine (Department of Microbiology and Immunology) Keio University. I will manage two labs at Keio (faculty.med.keio.ac.jp/en/research/fa…) and Riken (riken.jp/en/research/la…).

Big thanks to CZI Science for the opportunity to keep working on Harmony with Martin Hemberg and Soumya Raychaudhuri সৌম্য রায়চৌধুরী! If you haven’t already, check out the much more scalable Harmony v1 on CRAN and GitHub/immunogenomics

Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍 NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations! all freely available in the public domain. Retweet and spread the message! bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Grateful for the invitation to share some of our work in spatial methods! Stay tuned for our corresponding preprint on Tessera, led by PhD student Daniel Stein, coming early Dec '24
