Inspired by our own (@rhea-longley.bsky.social) complex calculations, we hope this will save some valuable time ⏱️ for others!

Disclaimer: please remember to check the results with your grants team and the grant application guidelines.

Feedback is more than welcome! πŸ“

It was design with NHMRC Investigator Grant Applications in mind, but can be used for lots of purposes, like calculating the cut-off date for publication going backwards in time or when you fall out of eligibly for grants/awards based on post-PhD years.

NHMRC Investigator Grant Career Disruption Calculator Free online calculator for NHMRC Investigator Grant applications. Calculate FTE years and document career disruptions.

Researchers, if you have career disruptions e.g. parental leave πŸ‘Ά, and would like a simple way to calculate full-time equivalent (FTE) years you might like our new calculator, eramezani.github.io/career/ - Written by @eramezani.bsky.social‬ πŸ™Œ. Feel free to share around.

Seems like LLM might not be the best for that sort of thing, or at least not yet. Out of interest did you try any of the models that do reasoning?

This is disappointing to learn... absolutely no hope for the future of humans. Although, names are pretty tricky, so I'll forgive it that.

Is there an AI that can rewrite CVs according to the needs of each grant application? Genuinely interested. Imagine how much research we could do if we weren't reformatting CVs constantly.

Isoform-level discovery, quantification and fusion analysis from single-cell and spatial long-read RNA-seq data with Bambu-Clump Single cell and spatial transcriptomics have dramatically changed how we can profile RNA from heterogenous biological samples. Combining single cell and spatial profiling with long read RNA-Seq promis...

Very happy to release the single cell and spatial long read RNA seq module for our transcript discovery and quantification tool Bambu (Bambu-clump)

Our new paper examining how to analyse longread RNA-seq with no reference genome. We compare approaches for assembly and downstream analysis, from transcript accuracy to differential expression. Lead by @alexyfyf.bsky.social. Thnx to all contributors incl. @qgouil.bsky.social for the pea data!
