Interesting outside perspective on Europe's 2nd wave response from @nytimes #TheDaily. Particularly liked the highlight about Germany's - us being infamous for our sense of humor - Corona-ad. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/why… youtu.be/iZgmIx3FmKc

Great place, great scientists and great opportunity!

Really enjoyed the panel discussions at the end of each session at #GCB20. In particular, great that we got not only detailed answers but also big picture & outlook for each of the different session topics!

Last #GCB20 session: @sisichen presenting multi-seq enabled large-scale drug screen finding multicellular mechanisms of immune modulation; great stuff!

Zoe Steier @YosefLab showing totalVI for joint analysis of RNA and protein data using joint autoencoder-based latent space learning. #SCB20

@dominic_grun presenting his varID method at #SCB20 - his corresponding (single author!) @naturemethods paper here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Rahul @satijalab showing the Azimuth app for reference mapping, together with his Seurat pipeline. #SCB20

Computational session at #SCB20 kicking off with the one and only Rahul @satijalab talking about multimodal single cell analysis and integration, great stuff!

Excited that our paper on data-efficient self-supervised learning is out @NatMachIntell. Led by @holmberg_olle, we apply this to Diabetic Retinopathy screening, needing 75% less annotations & 200x fewer params to reach human performance than before. rdcu.be/cae3N

Virtual coffee break discussion at #SCB20 with fun random chat discovery tool (spatial.chat) - only two rooms are being used, computational approaches and the bar. Wonder what this implies about us bioinformaticians.🤔

Next up @SCB20, Barbara @TreutleinLab talking about human brain organoid development. Pretty cool to see how single cell resolution combined with lineage tracing and computational analyses have helped to recapitulate cerebral organ development steps.

Samantha @morris_lab talking at #SCB20 on her work on cell reprogramming, both via experimental and computational approaches - nicely outlined in her early CellNet work already, and now followed up with many cool now single-cell tools, eg CellOracle and Capybara.

Excited to listen to Guoji Guo speaking now at #SCB20 on mapping mammalian cell landscapes. He reviewed his 2010 Dev Cell paper and PCA visualization with 48 genes, 500 cells. This got me into single cell genomics - thx Guoji :)

You’re fired!

Fitting headline by @CNN - “Trump says he’ll go to Supreme Court; unclear why”

Looking for s.t. to watch with the kids? We just watched Bill&Ted, and they loved it! To phrase it in the words of Abraham Lincoln: Be excellent, and party on! 🤟😂

Excited to share our latest work leveraging RNA velocity! Led by @MariusLange8 and in close collab with @dana_peer, CellRank detects initial&terminal cell populations, predicts fate potentials and visualizes gene expression trends. cellrank.org biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

‘No president in recent history has tried to politicize government agencies and purge them of scientific expertise on the scale undertaken by this one.’ Clear words from @nature’s Biden endorsement nature.com/articles/d4158…

Interested in doing a PhD in machine learning? Come join our #ELLIS network, where we aim to promote breakthroughs in AI and educate the next generation of AI researchers! PhD program's open now, deadline Dec 1st, see ellis.eu/de/news/ellis-… ellismunich.ai

Landscape of intestinal organoid regeneration just published @nature by @priscaliberali lab - 400k organoids imaged&assayed with 2.8k compounds. Amazing achievement+resource of organoid variation! See Prisca talk at @singlecellomics seminar this Friday. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Just read how @gitlab is turning into "world's largest all-remote company". Definitely s.t. to be taken from that for science, such as "watercooler Zoom meetings " and remote processes for "introducing new hires". More ideas in their online handbook, nice! fastcompany.com/90548691/extre…

@k__niki Kilbertus, new PI @helmholtz_ai, on a hands-on project for causal inference, using general instrumental variable models and reformulated as SGD optimization: youtu.be/FgQv0PAesSo

How to take a socially distanced group picture 😷 - here on a short hike in the Bavarian alps.

Now @AlexandervanOu1 presenting at #SCOGtempSC how to integrate multiple lineage measurements towards tumor evolution, asking how to retain temporal information when using single-cell sequencing via lineage tracing. Impressive!

@GioeleLaManno talking at our "Temporal Single Cell Analysis" workshop: good point on the importance of negative control eg by binomial randomization of unspliced reads. btw, pulling quite a crowd (501 participants), nice :) #SCOGtempSC

Happy to see that our #ELLISMunich unit is officially starting today, bringing together experts in #machinelearning and applications from @TU_Muenchen & @HelmholtzMunich. Let's shape the future of #AI in Europe together! Details at ellismunich.ai

ELLIS kick-off live-streaming now, with @bschoelkopf introducing the goals, programmes and units. Let's rock, @ELLISforEurope! 🤘 ellis.eu

Our workshop ‘Temporal Single Cell Genomics’ coming up tomorrow afternoon (CET) - excited about great speaker line-up, expecting fun+insightful discussions. singlecell.de/index.php/even… @GioeleLaManno @dana_peer @N_Rajewsky @AlexandervanOu1 @AE_Saliba @VolkerBergen @singlecellomics

Looking fwd to tomorrow's official launch of the 30 #ELLIS units - honored to co-direct the Munich ELLIS unit, focusing on ML fundamentals, biomedicine, computer vision and earth observation. Kick off at ellis.eu/events/ellis-u… @HelmholtzMunich @TU_Muenchen @ELLISforEurope
