So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

Enjoyed working w/ Stephen & Agnes on this! Gave me a chance to think systematically about where AI 🤖 can backstop human 🧑🏼‍🔬 fallibilities in peer review (fatigue, ordering effects, bias) vs. where human judgment remains essential (novelty, feasibility, creative leaps) while grappling w/ the risks.

Peer review reliability is shockingly low. Meta-analyses show reviewer agreement barely above chance, and grant outcomes often depend more on who reviews than what's proposed. Our new preprint with Agnes Urban and Arjun Krishnan @compbiologist.bsky.social : papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... 🧵 1/

This preprint is now out after peer review! Check it out: www.cell.com/cell-genomic.... Huge congrats (and thanks!) to the whole team that contributed!

Systematic analysis of nonsense variants uncovers peptide release rate as a novel modifier of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

Kolakada et al. discover that the amino acid preceding a premature termination codon influences nonsense-mediated mRNA decay efficiency. They identify peptide release rate during translation terminati...

Excited to share the latest work from the lab, led by Divya Kolakada, the first PhD from our group 🎓🤓🎉 Peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis rate influences the efficiency of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Known for decades: DNA sequence drives nucleosome "rotational positioning" (which face of DNA contacts histones) But: How does this persist when remodelers & transcription constantly mobilize nucleosomes? Our new preprint 1/ : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thrilled to share our new Forum article in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social We (@charmievang.bsky.social @evanbrenner.bsky.social @jananiravi.bsky.social) explore how #MultiOmics + #MachineLearning/#DeepLearning can transform AMR prediction—spotlighting emerging opportunities and challenges!

Transatlantic shout-out to @pinkpetri.bsky.social for these excellent stickers that I gave to @jananiravi.bsky.social, who then immediately stuck them on her office doorway. Since folks keep asking where she got them, go check out the shop! www.etsy.com/shop/pinkpetri
