@AnnaVathrakoko1 @BioinfoAdv Congratulations! Deconvolution is such a finicky method - a standardized, context-aware pipeline is a huge boon to the field

New: Employers and HR vendors are using AI chatbots to interview and screen job applicants. We found that OpenAI's GPT discriminates against names based on race and gender when ranking resumes. W/ @daveyalba and @Leonardonclt gift link: bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…

🎉 Congratulations to @Kamran_Khan360 for this great article! In the #humancellatlas era, modelling atlases for cell-type #signatures is tricky. Our #plugin for #CIBERSORTx eliminates #multilevel #unwanted #variation, improving signature selection! 🔗academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

@mattyglesias @Alicoh1 Accounting for region (place of birth, migration, etc.) in genetic studies erases the corr. between genetics and intelligence/education. Studies that don’t account for these factors are lazy, self serving, and perpetuate eugenic falsities through willful ignorance or malice

@UNCBBSP Update: I dug a bit deeper and some wonderful department admins helped sort it out at no cost to me! Grad students, ask around if you have issues with academic bureaucracy. Info can be spread unevenly in higher ed

Does anyone in academia have a reasonable explanation for why I (a low-pay graduate student) need to front $1,170 to register for a conference? Not to mention that my T32 paid me a lump sum in January and won't again until next month
