I don't know about you, but I enjoyed President Musk's first oval office press conference. He even brought his kid and some sort of orange puppet to entertain him. He's a nice dad.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

You know, when the AI comes for our jobs, people who can manipulate little marine creatures with actual tools will be the last people left with jobs....man career advice got weird these last few years.

Its paid summer intern time! Come join us for a summer of ML, regulatory genomics, and human genetics. Also maybe a crazy idea involving neanderthals. roche.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ROG-A2O-GENE...

Gotta say, nothing brings back the pain of opportunities missed like seeing the rounds of fall academic job openings.

Two excellent pre-prints today reminding us how hard it can be to translate genetic findings to the clinic (but still excellent work ;) ) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Katalin Karikó on the status economy of academia. She’s the hero we don’t deserve. Source: josephnoelwalker.com/147-katalin-...
There is a “centre” where the money, the fame, is; most likely your proposal gets funded because it’s on the most favourable topic. Maybe today, RNA is [most favourable]. If you are working with mRNA, maybe that's the centre there.

And then there are people in the periphery. There is no fame, there is no money, no nothing there. The only thing in the periphery is freedom. You can do what you like to do, what you feel is important.

Here’s what a proposal is: why they should give me money. And they should question that. “She came from university nobody knew about.” “She never had a mentor who was famous.”

And somehow it gravitates always to the same people, same circle. They get published there, they get the money. And that's another explanation: I was not famous enough or didn't have anybody who would support me in a way that somebody that’s a famous and well-established scientist stands behind you and says, “Oh, look at this, it’s good.”

Congrats to Karikó and Weissman on the Nobel for mRNA modifications! Their work was not appreciated by the university or reviewers at the time, but has saved millions of lives. A great example of the value of discovery science and reminder to not limit academic research to immediate applications.

Let's all say it again -- distance on a UMAP is not good evidence for cell type similarity and I'm not going to be a happy reviewer when I read that.
