CaRPool-seq is out today @naturemethods. Excited to see how multimodal combinatorial perturbation screens in single cells will enable new discoveries. Many thanks for this great collab w/ @alexmenman, @nevillesanjana, @satijalab and other, powered by @cegs_ica.

I was inspired by some Science Twitter debates about postdocs that occurred after AAI this year. So, I wrote it up in this month’s editorial for Immunology. Potentially spicy takes ahead, but that’s what you get with me! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
