Underrated life advice: Be more enthusiastic. One of the most attractive traits is genuine enthusiasm. It's energizing to spend time around people who show real excitement for life. For people, ideas, and tiny moments. It takes courage to care so openly. Enthusiasm is contagious.

Come work with me! TT Professor opening at Purdue University; Quantitative Neuroscience!
I’d love to recruit someone working on high throughput image data. It's a great place to be, Purdue is a top-30 US university (12th among public universities):

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's a dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Gilbert Lab retweeted
🎉bioRxiv & medRxiv are now managed by openRxiv, a new independent nonprofit. This transition allows for more flexibility and innovation. Our community-centered mission remains being a free service to authors ensuring rapid sharing of scientific information before peer review. 🧵

Thrilled to share LUNA🌕 – our new generative AI model that reassembles tissues from dissociated cells! Think of it as AlphaFold for cells 🧬
From the MERFISH mouse brain atlas to the scRNA-seq atlas & Slide-tags datasets, LUNA is widely applicable. Bringing us closer to virtual tissue modeling 🧠
Super proud of @yistyu – what a way to start her PhD!🙌 And huge thanks also to all our collaborators @thecekbote @stephanedascoli @pafrossard Nikita Morozov Jiashuo Fan
Curious about LUNA? Check out our paper Tissue Reassembly with Generative AI: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

So excited to share the first paper from the lab!
We identified CD34 as a marker of the heart’s SAN pacemaker cells enabling their isolation from stem cell differentiation cultures, advancing future disease modeling and biological pacemaker applications.
