Looks like a bunch of people are trying to make a back-up before it's too late!

For each entity, we show how each of the studies contributed to the Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 lists.

Ryan Morin 🇨🇦 @morinryan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

If we combine the genes from all studies, the total number grows from 81 at the end of 2011 to nearly 700 a decade later. Clearly this is severely inflated. This is because gene lists from each study includes some "novel" genes and many of these are ultimately never replicated.

Ryan Morin 🇨🇦 @morinryan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

According to WHO-HAEM5, there are ~150 DLBCL genes, which is based on Reddy et al. This cannot be complete because several new genes were described in subsequent studies. Comparing gene lists between recent studies shows many genes are unique to the Reddy list, implying it's also inflated.

A genomic study on Follicular lymphoma (FL) in today's issue of Blood provides a foundation that will hopefully lead to new therapies for patients who are unlikely to benefit long-term from standard-of-care. I'll explain how: #bloodsky

Thanks for the inspiration! I will add this new shape to the app shortly:

Ask and ye shall receive. However, if you meant "shape of an actual heart" as opposed to this shape then it would take a lot more work and probably not be recognizable 😜

I rarely use the "vortex" option but it seemed appropriate here

I asked ChatGPT "based on what you know about me. draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like” Nice try. If only my desk was that tidy. Maybe I'll try again after asking for some tips on how to keep my workspace organized.

It's nice to see so many X refugees here. Just a reminder for academics, consider introducing yourself with a personalized word cloud based on your publications in Google Scholar at scholargoggler.com. Here's a cloud based on one of my newest followers

I know it's not a farm animal but I thought this one turned out pretty well too

Here is the full one! Not sure why it crashed. Usually the app is pretty robust but sometimes the Google Scholar servers refuse the request (especially when there's a lot of users trying to make clouds at the same time).

Ryan Morin 🇨🇦 @morinryan.bsky.social · 04/02/2024

The Semantic Scholar version of this app works better in these cases. Here's yours.

Welcome, Anna. I made a word cloud based on your publications. Hope it's accurate.

Ryan Morin 🇨🇦 @morinryan.bsky.social · 27/10/2023

Glad you like it! I highly recommend you try the Semantic Scholar version. It has access to more abstracts than PubMed because it includes other sources (conferences etc). shiny.rcg.sfu.ca/u/rdmorin/se...

New Scholar Googler feature just dropped: shiny interactive chord diagrams based on co-author connections in Semantic Scholar. Good reminder of who your most important collaborators are.

For users interested in generating an academic word cloud to say hi, here's quick update. My latest tool (Semantic Scholar Googler) can now pull words from abstracts instead of just titles. Helpful to fill in sparse clouds such as this example (original vs new version). scholargoogler.com

A few new features: - word transparency based on rank - restricting rotation to only 0 or 45 degrees - some fun canned palettes This cloud isn't based on my research. I wonder if anyone can guess who I searched in PubMed for this (hint: they are definitely on bsky)

So gratifying that PubMedWordCloud and its Google Scholar equivalent have collectively been used by over 2000 people in the past 24 hours alone! That's a lot of clouds. You might even say I'm partially responsible for making Bluesky ... cloudy.
