How to make your own fabric face mask 😷 in <15’ by my good friend and colleague @HelmholtzMunich, Markus Brielmeier and his daughter. Awesome! Not sure though I’d make the 15 minutes 😂 #FlattenTheCurve youtu.be/NSq02CG2ffM

Great initiative and virtual conference by @ELLISforEurope to leverage machine learning for helping to fight #COVID19: live streaming of the workshop now at ellis.eu/covid-19 #ELLISAgainstCOVID

That’s me, 43 years old, home schooling my kids for the last 2 weeks while in home office. No big deal. #COVID19

Having some time to think about next career step? A good and nicely illustrated 10-rules @PLOSCompBiol on how to become a PI. I like ‘learn to juggle’. 😂 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

Thoughtful editorial by @j_timmer @arstechnica on planning and the communicating how to deal with the #COVID2019 pandemic: ‘everybody involved with public communications needs to recognize the limits of their expertise.’ arstechnica.com/science/2020/0…

We stand by Italy during these trying times. Share your Support for our Italian friends, They are our colleagues, friends and family. Cari amici, siamo con voi. #COVID19 #WeStandWithItaly

In the darkest of times, A superhero rises: AseptoMan

Interesting first finding from our human lung cell atlas @humancellatlas for #Covid19: #SARS_COV_2 entry genes are most highly expressed in nasal goblet & ciliated cells in human airways, differently e.g. to MERS-CoV. arxiv.org/abs/2003.06122

Slide-seqV2 by @macosko and Chen labs is out: higher efficiency and impressive plots, amongst others trajectory reconstruction with #scVelo to describe spatiotemporal development in neocortex. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Germany’s major news magazine @derspiegel covering questions wrt #COVIDー19 - amongst others ‘Does Corona helps against Trump?’ 😂

Our lab is going full virtual mode starting tomorrow, for the next 5 weeks at least. Less meetings but more research? And wonder how online-only progress reports work 🤔

Found this new #DeepLearning term on the whiteboard recently @MarrCarsten 😂

Interesting short review @NatureBiotech on single-cell RNA-seq analysis software. Major conclusions: "scRNA-seq still requires a marriage of bioinformatics and wet-lab expertise" and "the ultimate challenge is integration". Agree to both! rdcu.be/b2M5l

Dear Twitterverse, @ICBmunich we have been looking for a good solution for live streaming our seminars without much setup hassle. Unsuccessfully so far. #COVID19 is reenergizing this search. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thx! 🙏

@MatthiasBethge talking about our brain as a decision making machine and how to abstract that in a computer. #helloHelmholtzAI

Nicole Ludwig @KITKarlsruhe talking about #MachineLearning for energy time series eg for smart meters. #helloHelmholtzAI

Sami Haddadin @TU_Muenchen talking about embodied #AI = robotics at #helloHelmholtzAI workshop.

Jennifer Schröter @KITKarlsruhe presenting #AI Infrastructure for @helmholtz_ai at our kick-off - Super useful thanks! #helloHelmholtzAI

@MatthiasTschop kicking off our @helmholtz_ai workshop, bringing together researchers across all of @helmholtz_en around #AI. Looking forward to a fun day! #helloHelmholtzAI

Excited to give a talk at the #AI commission of the @bundestag together with @PhilippHennig5

@EU_Commission's strategy on trustworthy #AI. In particular "authorities should be able to certify the data used by algorithms," and data used should be unbiased. There's no real unbiased machine learning, but fairness in #AI is surely becoming big. ec.europa.eu/info/sites/inf…

European Union @EU_Commission aims to create a "Common European health data space", with the long-term goal to "improve accessibility, effectiveness & sustainability of healthcare." Not working well on national level, would be great if fixed on EU level! ec.europa.eu/info/sites/inf…

Interesting read on "telework". Some of the recent backlash on remote teams may simply have been stealth layoffs. @ICBmunich we often work remotely, but still struggle how to solve the "serendipity hallway discussion" problem. Any suggestions? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

Ben Engel @bengeliscious at townhall @HelmholtzMunich talking not only on his amazing work on investigating molecular architecture of the cell via electron microscopy but also on his contribution to stop #globalwarming via studying marine algae. 🤘

@MarrCarsten @ICBmunich presenting recent work as well as his @ERC_Research funded plan on understanding blood dynamics at today‘s townhall meeting @HelmholtzMunich.

Michael Gorman @michaeljohng presenting @HelmholtzMunich townhall meeting his plan of how to setup a new Museum called BIOTOPIA @Munich to ‚explore life‘ - looking forward to exploring this with my kids!

Ulla Protzer @HelmholtzMunich explaining #coronavirus biology & epidemiology at townhall meeting today. Risk of CoV contact @Munich only 1:100,000.

Fun beer&pizza poster discussion after a full @MunichDS interview day. 🍺🍕

Really happy how well the new #scanpy stickers turned out - happy to share, eg at next conferences (Hinxton, Florence). 🤓

We're excited to release a #scanpy update for the analysis and visualization of #spatialTranscriptomics data, focussing on @10xGenomics Visium and MERFISH, thx @g_palla1. Tutorial at nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/theisla… Support for different data types and integration with #scRNAseq soon!
