Wow, Snakemake 8 really fudged up Slurm support. Good grief.
Congratulations Alison Etheridge of @UniofOxford, newly inducted NAS international member! #NAS161 #NASmember #mathematics
FIRE is deeply concerned by law enforcement actions to detain student protesters at Emory University, including the deployment of tear gas and tasers. While colleges may restrict conduct — such as establishing encampments — that violates reasonable, viewpoint-neutral policies,…
New paper from the lab! Epigenetic silencing of transposons is widely considered a good resolution of host-TE conflicts, but is it? Especially, we showed that this silencing could lead to harmful local enrichment of repressive marks, even in genes (Huang et al. 2022 eLife). (1/5)

Cultural Revolution in China, Iranian Revolution, Hitler Youth in Germany, Khmer Rouge (which led to the Cambodian genocide) all had student support against the ruling class. University activists must actually study history at their universities, and not just engage in activism.

How do cells efficiently respond to stress? Transcriptional stress responses are well-known—and in our latest study, we discover that cells use biomolecular condensation to redirect translation from old to new mRNAs 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The trip from SAN to SFO is probably the prettiest flight I’ve taken. The descent zigzags up the coast and peninsula of California.
A major threat to Mojave desert tortoises is the massive growth of raven populations (index from Harju et al. 2021), which take advantage of anthropogenic structures to build nests. Baby tortoises are yummy raven snacks.

How do we predict the statistical associations between mutations that spontaneously emerge in an evolving population? Excited to share some new work w/ @zzzhiru_liu and @benjaminhgood that approaches this question!

Very sad to learn of the passing of Dan Dennett. Huge influence in the field and very generous in personal interactions. dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…
Big deal to get INLA in Python!!
Dropped in a different numeric integration algorithm, and suddenly everything started working beautifully. Numeric computing is hard; a lot feels like inside-baseball. When it works, pure magic.
We're maybe 1-2 years out from AI being good enough to take all of that horribly complex, highly optimized, amazingly engineered numeric code that underlies R and SciPy and convert it to beautiful Rust. I cannot wait. Rust sadly lacks a good numeric integration library.

This "Magic and Empiricism in Early Chinese Rainmaking" is fascinating (authors @KevinHong1991 @slingerland20 @JoHenrich ). Also many places where we might replace "rainmaking" with "statistics" and sense remains similar. Article: doi.org/10.1086/729118

Good critique of some signs at the Harvard encampment, while also avoiding hysteria. I'm curious what the protestors would say in response.
1/ Had a few minutes before the faculty meeting yesterday so I stopped by the Harvard Yard encampment. An interesting mix: a bunch of people quietly hanging out and listening to a teach-in lecture, amid handmade signs glorifying violence and urging the destruction of Israel
