When I was an undergrad in Genetics, one of my professors use to ask us about papers "Did you find it convincing?" When I ask myself that these days, the answer is too often "No" or even worse: "I don't even know what I'm supposed to be convinced about"

Russia's whole economy depends on oil and gas exports. So the more the world relies on fossil fuels, the more power we put in the hands of Putin. We need more clean energy for the sake of our planet and for the sake of democracy and freedom around the globe.

Feels great to officially be done with the PhD. Thanks to PennSurgery, CAMB Graduate Group, my co-residents, labmates, friends, family, and most importantly Hilary Bollman for the endless support and encouragement over the last 5 yrs. Special thanks to jon epstein for doing the hooding.

Firearms were the leading cause of death for American children and teens in 2020.

On this Memorial Day I want to thank my friend and colleague from PennSurgery and Army Medicine for his and his family making the ultimate sacrifice for our country. He died at FOB Diamondback in Mosul Iraq. He is not forgotten. Replacing him was the greatest honor of my life.

Honored and incredibly excited to have matched at MD Anderson Cancer Center for Society of Surgical Oncology Fellowship. Thanks to everyone at PennSurgery, CAMB Graduate Group, friends, family and especially Hilary Bollman for all the support that made this possible.

Most Americans believe the decision to have a child is one of the most sacred decisions there is, and that such decisions should remain between patients and their doctors. Today’s Supreme Court opinion will live in infamy as a step backward for women's rights and human rights.

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

Forced birth in a country with: —No universal healthcare —No universal childcare —No paid family & medical leave —One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations This isn't about "life." It's about control.

I just want to be really clear about something. Abortions will still happen whether it's illegal or not. The difference is that more women will die because they won't be safe, and it will fall hardest on poor women + women of color. We must fight this with everything we’ve got.

It's officially #SarcomaAwarenessMonth. Will you retweet to raise sarcoma awareness?

I am writing a book to help wet biologists to learn computation. Below are some of the chapters I have in mind. What else do you want to know? what problems and frustrations did you have when you started? I will keep them in mind. #rstats #computation #Bioinformatics RT please

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by Cigna Healthcare) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file. Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

It took me ten years to learn computational biology. It should take you shorter with a clear roadmap. Get this guide from me with a lot of learning links I collected during the past 10 years. From zero to hero: six steps to learn computational biology divingintogeneticsandgenomics.ck.page/6steps
