Gave a presentation at the MassBio summit yesterday and someone asks me how to interpret the "piles of dust" on my slides. I now have a new favorite term for UMAPs

Pfizer (the authors here) is the end user, they shouldn't be the ones having to call out papers from @NatureBiotech What is the point of academic research if the hurdle of "trusting it enough to try it" gets so big no one uses academic methods at all?

My silver lining is that maybe this means more funding goes to high quality data generating institutions and technologies, the only reason we have AI in the first place
