Understanding the impact of regulatory variants on complex phenotypes is a significant challenge because the genes and pathways that are targeted by such variants are typically unknown. Furthermore,...

I had a blast recording my first podcast ever! Thank you @jmschreiber91 and @bioinfochat for having me on and nerding out over chromatin architecture š§¬ and matrix factorization.
In the latest episode of @bioinfochat, I talk with @dyneofdata about her latest method, GRiNCH, for identifying genomic regions that cluster together in 3D space and then stealing their presents to put a sad look on their face. Check it out!

Science answers: how do dogs know other dogs are dogs? @BlairBraverman #uglydogs Thank you @SusieGCG for always sensing and sending me what I need in my life.
Every intro to cognitive psychology course has at least one chapter where we ask how people know that dogs are dogs - after all, they look so different from each other. This research one-ups our question and asks: HOW DO DOGS KNOW THAT OTHER DOGS ARE DOGS??

I'm just going to do these myself because grownass woman who loves science also deserves fun š.
I made some little games for my lab mates kids' using @BioRender and I wanted to share with you all! Feel free to print them and give them to kiddos who love (or who you are slowly convincing to love) science! Happy Holidays everyone!

Itās a (morbidly) fun exercise to read through the article and think about which ethical concerns would be transferable to AlphaFold, or whatever model youāre working on. I recommend it as a light Saturday morning family activity ;) I look forward to reading the full paper. 7/7.

6/ Iām training to be a computational biologist. Based on @_KarenHaoās summary of the paper that led to @timnitgebru taking a stance, this work also speaks to ethical concerns in my field, particularly for large deep models like AlphaFold.

5/ Which fields of science do you think can replace statistics in that quote? What about statisticsā cousins (or children depending on who you ask): AI, machine learning, data science, bioinformatics, computational biology? What do we fail to see because our own fingerprints?.

3/ I used to think science is objective, not political. Then I heard @Remember_Sarah (paraphrasing): as soon as one insists journalism is objective, thatās when you start having ethical concerns. I think a lot about how this statement applies to science.

2/ @RottenInDenmark said in the @yourewrongabout Y2K episode that politics is a process of determining who should feel the pain. Iāve been thinking about how science is a political process of determining which questions matter and who gets to decide. Case in point with AI:

Iām ashamed I only learned about @timnitgebruās work after her firing. Thank you @math_rachel for pointing me to @timnitgebruās high-impact body of work on ethical AI (and @yourewrongabout for teaching me that you lose sight of a person by focusing on the spotlight around her) 1/.
I have long admired @timnitGebru for her brilliance, moral courage, clear voice in speaking up for what is right, & influential scholarship. It is truly terrible that Google would do this. In this thread, I want to share some of Timnit's work I love.
