Reading a nice polished CV is useful & everything but the most important part of my scientific training, the 18 months I spent on a project that failed, which taught me resilience, problem solving, humility, & other such wisdom is nowhere to be found on my CV. So CVs have limits

Check out how different omics methods can be combined to investigate neuronal specification. Very glad to see this part of my PhD published. – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
Great work on the formation of GABAergic projection neurons by @chr_mayer @edvoretskova @MayHo_ and collaborators, now put in @NatureNeuro 👇

New preprint on scGPT: first foundation large language model for single cell biology, pretrained on 10 million cells. Just as text is made of words, cells are characterized by genes Some thoughts on how cool this is & why it challenges the status quo of single cell analysis🧵🧵

Had a blast at #SCG2022. Felt rather surreal to have accomplished speakers present cutting-edge results on stage only to party alongside you mere hours later. 😂 – at Utrecht, The Netherlands

Some students were asking me what advice I have for being successful. I have thought about this now for days and I have only one single piece of advice: have good people around you. Make sure the people around you are good people. That is it.
