What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

It’s finally out! The PhD work and first first author paper of @MartinoUgolini: rdcu.be/dD5Vd. Congrats to all co-authors @mkierun, @lanoliin, Hiroshi Kimura, and Haruka Oda for the beautiful work! We also thank @cSabrya @NatureCellBio for the pleasant review process.

Amazing results from @sergekoren. Near perfect assembly of human, ont only. "We found the accuracy of Duplex data to be similar to HiFi sequencing, but with read lengths tens of kb longer, .... assemblies have a base accuracy exceeding 99.999% (Q50) and near-perfect continuity"

Honestly this is probably the single best advice for making it through grad school or a postdoc as well. Just get stuff done. It may feel smart to critique things well, it may even be useful, but ultimately you are judged on what you've gotten done

couldn’t agree more about the need for more computational biologists. More importantly, we must ensure they receive the recognition and support they deserve. Their work should never be dismissed as merely “just service”. Additionally, I’d like to remind everyone of the excellent paper titled ‘All Biology is Computational Biology’. 🧬 💻 – at Vaughan, Ontario
WE NEED COMPUTATIONAL PEOPLE IN BIOLOGY. WE NEED THEM IN DRUG DISCOVERY AND MULTI OMICS. WE NEED HARDWARE PEOPLE TO BUILD SPECIFIC AND PORTABLE DEVICES. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WE NEED DEVS. WE NEED TO MAKE OPEN ACCESS DATA AS ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE. WE NEED COMPUTE GRANTS. GIVE

This is fascinating- same paper sent out to huge pool of reviewers under different names. 23% recommended “reject” when a prominent researcher was the only author shown, 48% when the paper was anonymized, and 65% when a little-known author was the only author shown – at Cork, Ireland

How to build a successful research institute, from the UK/Europe perspective. In the US, @RockefellerUniv is another great example. Key feature in common: “Let scientists focus on the science with a proactive and communicative administration” dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.
