¡Gracias Sean! Ya lo encontraron sano y a salvo 🙌🏽

¡Gracias Ana! Si, al final fue un buen susto 😨. Pero solo eso. Uff 😥

fue físicamente a esa casa a buscarlo.

En fin, ya pasó el susto y al final de la historia, lo importante es que está bien Julio.

¡Gracias por ayudarme a compartir la info!

¡Hola!

Ya encontraron a mi primo Julio D. Velázquez Torres. Está sano y a salvo. Si lo asaltaron y le quitaron todas sus pertenencias y dinero. Así que se estaba quedando en casa de un amigo, que tampoco tiene celular. Por eso se quedó incomunicado hasta que su hermana

Excellent first post Marina!

Welcome to BlueSky and #RStats + #Bioconductor

#RStatsES 🙌🏽 🇲🇽

Discovered miRBaseConverter (Bioconductor) this week and thought it was cool 🙌

It translates miRNA names across miRBase versions and retrieves sequence info programmatically, making dataset integration smoother.

Already saving me future headaches.
Thanks to Taosheng Xu 👏

Posit::conf(2026) Call for Talks - Posit posit::conf(2026) is coming September 14-16 to Houston, TX, and we're looking for talks!

We spend >1 hr per week officially learning about new tools 🧰 & resources 📜. This keeps us adaptive!

To scale up, we clone ourselves thanks to public YouTube videos which allow us to build customized training lists.

The documentation website provides information about config files, accessing common software on an HPC, templates, and “blog”-level docs that can be updated but are not tested daily.

I’d like to share about how I’ve organized the @lieberinstitute.bsky.social “Data Science team 1” (Translational Neuroscience Division) since I took over its leadership in September 2020. By having a team documentation website, an emphasis on continuous

New postdoctoral opportunity @lieberinstitute.bsky.social working w/ @tsawada1.bsky.social and our Molecular Neurogenetics team using human induced pluripotent stem cells to investigate molecular, cellular and neuroendocrine mechanisms by which impaired placental function impacts brain development

Hehehe :) I’m glad that you liked it ^^. Though I’m afraid that 300 🧩 pieces won’t last long hehe.

Though you can remake it several times. I’m curious to see 👀 how fast you’ll be able to put it together by memory hehe 🙃

FIRST post here on Bluesky - we’re excited to share that our large spatial transcriptomics study of the human dlPFC in schizophrenia is now available on bioRxiv📄: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... (1/9)

Happy new year!! 🧧🎉🎇🌑🐎

If you study microbiome Time series (gut, soil or mangroves -> like me) you want to know this...

#miaTime (new on #Bioconductor3.22) gives you:

🟢 Divergence
🟢 Short-term change
🟢 Bimodality

Today I had the opportunity to teach as a guest instructor in a bioinformatics course at #LCG-UNAM 👨🏻‍💻.
We built academic websites with #postcards (thanks @seankross.com!), inspired by @hadley.nz and @jtleek.bsky.social.
Thanks to Dr. @lcolladotor.bsky.social for the invitation! 🚀

#RStats

Looking forward to contributing to a course session this week at #LCG-UNAM 👨🏻‍💻
Grateful for the opportunity to learn through teaching! 😊

In a recent journal club, I covered the SOFA paper by @wkhuber.bsky.social and colleagues. It's especially cool how you can guide the factorization approach with known covariates.

Check out their preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2024...) and our discussion (youtu.be/WKs-g4lXzZs)!

A colleague Geo @geopertea.bsky.social found out a cool trick to get Positron working with full support at our computing cluster JHPCE (remote file explorer, Positron assistant seeing the remote R session). Game changer for my work at LIBD! Check out his demo video (youtu.be/CnmaJG8VPp8) #positron

you don't need to copy/paste from that preview! the rendered reprex, in a friendly md form, is already on your clipboard 😆

the htmlpreview is for your 👀, but the good stuff is on the clipboard waiting to be pasted in the relevant venue (default is github, but slack can also be requested)

Thanks Jenny!

The me from 2020 didn't know that 😅. But it's great that you clarified it! I've just been playing a bit with Adobe Express clip maker to make these clips. Though first I had to remove filler words and pauses :P

In any case, I love #reprex and want to spread the love around =)

That's exactly why you need to include the library() statements showing which packages you're actually using 💡. I emphasized that all of this - the whole #reprex approach - is simply about making it easier for other people to help you faster⚡🤝. These are the main advantages of the reprex package! ✨👍🏽

I explained why including context is crucial 📚! I pointed out that someone could just paste code like "GRanges from 1 to 1000 plus..." but then I would be confused 😕 asking "where does this function come from? What package is this from?" 📦❓
