📣Out now: New work from @yinizhang2011 @ftrevorc & @JosephineLukito on network amplification on Twitter! The paper examined how elites amplify politicized information and how this varies based on
partisan identity of the influencer.

Graduate school is a dangerously vulnerable place
this vulnerability can enable tremendous growth
choose your community and your mentors carefully. Be kind to yourself and each other
Mentors, it is an honor to support people in this stage. and this is painfully easy to forget.

I’m going to begin today with a bold claim: Being an applied statistician is a lot like being an ethnographer.

Would you want your whole face to be seen while wearing a #mask? Brazilian artist Jorge Silva Roriz paints parts of customers' faces onto white protective masks, ensuring that details like facial hair color and skin tone would be closely matched to his customers' faces.

A stat-graph problem! answer might be trivial? Suppose a two block stochastic blockmodel on n nodes that is below the reconstruction threshold. an oracle puts every node into one of n/k "pre-groups" of k nodes. no group has nodes in both blocks. can you reconstruct? idk.

The third phase of the ENCODE project presents an online registry of over 1,200,000 human and mouse candidate functional elements that regulate genes, and the findings are presented in a collection of papers. See the collection here. go.nature.com/2DlgiRe

Congratulations to Eric Wilcots, who's been named Dean of @UWMadisonLS. He's the first African American to hold the position, and we couldn't be happier to move forward under his energy and leadership. @uwmadison bit.ly/3dbYYvj #WeAreLS

Can someone please tell me what game John Ioannidis is playing, and also, what are the rules?
Glad to announce my work with Sunduz Keles finally available @biorxivpreprint! Introducing SURF—a new toolkit for integrative analysis of RNA-seq and CLIP-seq. Read this thread for a quick view! (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.08.0…
Large-scale applications of SURF to 104 RBP datasets from @ENCODE_NIH indicate a diverse involvement of RBPs in ATR events and highlights broader positioning preferences for their interaction with RNA. (4/5)
