Paper alert! 🤓 Cells talk to one another all the time using cascades of protein interactions. Now, we know for quite some time that proteins from different cascades can interact with each other. It's called crosstalk. But doesn't it defy the logic of clear communication channels between cells? 🧐

Author copies of our new book on statistics (mainly) for life scientists arrived recently. After three years of work, this is exciting, especially as we really hope it can help make a positive difference. What's so special about it? 🧵

I am heartbroken about the loss of many labs at the Weizmann Institute yesterday in the missile attack. Dear scientists there: please know that you are not alone. Like many many others, I support you and am standing by to help you in any way I can.
