I am so happy to share that our paperis officially published in Cell Genomics! In this paper, we describe TESLA-seq, which combines pooled CRISPR activation with targeted single-cell RNA-seq to map enhancer-gene connections at high sensitivity. Link to the full story: www.cell.com/cell-genomic...

To evaluate computational models, we rely on trusted benchmark data and metrics So what if a metrics is widely used… but plain wrong? It means that evaluations in dozens of papers are meaningless. This has happened in single cell genomics… (1/)

Finally!! “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue” Harvard president Alan M. Garber www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

Why Harvard Decided to Fight Trump

The Trump administration will freeze over $2 billion in federal funds because Harvard refused to comply with a list of demands. Harvard leaders believed saying no was worth the risk.

Many of the NCBI resources and eRA Commons were run by contractors. However, many of these folks were apparently converted to Fed positions at the end of last year to protect them. This means that many of them were probationary NIH employees... Trying to run this down... 2/n

In which employees of a private company gain total access to files of every citizen, and government offices are stacked with ‚loyals‘. It makes me wonder, dear friends in the US: do you see it differently? Because from here, it does look like a coup. With a lot of added noise for distraction. 2/2

Tonight, the US correspondent of Austrian public broadcasting expressed consternation at the laissez faire of the American public that they are essentially victims to a coup. Not a military coup but one in which a billionaire‘s employees take over the government and fire public servants at will. 1/

Important study from Pia @prauten.bsky.social in the lab: some popular evaluation metrics for #singlecell analysis #benchmarking are intrinsically flawed and report near optimal scores even when methods completely fail. This issue is found in dozens of papers. Read her thread for the whole story!

So. the cowardly abandonment of fact checking and content moderation at #Meta makes it more urgent - how can we let our children use any social media? How can we educate to make use of the good things and support facts while not promoting fascism, autocrats, xenophobia, lgbtqia+phobia etc?

Happy to have you visit! For anyone in Berlin - the seminar is Tues 14th at 4pm.

Very excited to visit the Berlin Institute of Health/Max Planck next week and give some updates about what I've been working on at the BIMSB seminar! Looking forward to seeing any of you who happen to be around. Any recommendations on things to do in Berlin?
