Tahoe’s vision is becoming real! It is exciting to see @iamjohnnyyu, @nalidoust, and the @tahoe_ai team bring years of focused building to this point. I have watched firsthand how many pieces had to come together to make this possible. This team took the platform we built in the

Almost used this expired water for my qPCR! Glad I caught it! Phew!

1/n. The travel ban was upheld by the SCOTUS and as an Iranian American I am devastated by this decision. This imposes a blanket ban, no ifs and no buts. Setting aside what it does to my personal life, it will have a catastrophic impact on the lives of grad students and postdocs.

A month ago we @vevo_ai announced that we have generated the largest single-cell perturbation atlas in history, Tahoe-100M. Today, we announce that we will fully open-source Tahoe-100M in Feb, as part of a collaboration with @NVIDIAHealth to train cell state models.

Joining twitter, my goal was to get exposure to political and scientific discourse. Now, more and more, the scientific questions seem woefully trivial. It's impossible to take a primer on GenBank seriously, when the post above and below outline the ways our society is collapsing.

Super excited to see the launch of @exaibio. When @lisacfishsci and I started our search for orphan RNA species (oncRNAs), never did we imagine it will lead us here. Now some of the smartest people I know will be working on this problem! @babak_alipanahi @lisacfishsci

As the incoming graduate students start to pick their rotations, this is my take on what they should consider when they pick a lab: 1. One of the key virtues of academia is that you get to choose who you work with, so take full advantage of that.

Excited to announce Vevo’s launch! What started as coffee chats with @kevansf close to 7 years ago has now given us an opportunity to rethink how we do drug discovery.

This year, miRNAs won the Nobel Prize—small non-coding RNAs (smRNAs) have arrived! But the biology of many smRNAs remains a mystery. With Decoy-seq, we’re bringing smRNA genetics into the new decade. @hsnajafabadi @choi_benedict
