Honored to have contributed as part of this outstanding team, and so excited to see this out- just in time for fall faculty recruitment in Biomedical Engineering (and beyond)! This paper highlights key strategies + a structured toolbox for operating a faculty search in higher ed!

Clustering algorithms report clusters even when none exist. In single-cell RNA-Seq pipelines, novel cell types are often identified by clustering algorithms. Expanding on Kimes et al.'s work, we introduce significance analysis for single-cell RNA-Seq data: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Happy birthday, Steph Steltzer !!

🙌🤩💙💛
We are so excited to welcome Nicole next month!!!

Shoutout to micah johnson who is the awesome SURF fellow in our lab!

It's already week 7! Lucky for us, Micah J., an F-CVC SURF student in our lab from UPenn, is crushing it with LeeAnn Flowers ! We're so fortunate to have such an awesome team this summer. 🌟 🙌🤩💙

Congratulations Ed Sander !

Also to add that this is not only aimed solely at PIs. Any scientist can choose to be a good role model in the lab. You can discuss what make rigorous science, debate results, even argue about things, but no one should be belittling anyone to get their point across.

Happy 4th of July! Here are some fireworks for you 🎇
