Ya-Chieh Hsu Stem Cell-Niche Interactions during Homeostasis and Stress Today, 11/21 at 5 pm NW 353
Today's limerick was written by a parallel-universe version of me who is inundated by dozens of complaints about the quality of the food at QBS. Exasperated, he decides to switch the food order to something that has a stronger taste, perhaps an egg-based savory pie.

“Understanding pattern formation processes of single-cell walls through pollen” from Asja Radja, today at 5 pm in NW 353.
This week, our speaker is all-in On plant grains (from the sky fallen). We'll think through causation Of pattern formation. It's phase separation in pollen.

It’s the last QBS of the semester! NW353 at 5 pm.
For patients whose outlook is bleak It’d be great if we could just peek Inside of the brain When it’s under some strain We’ll develop in vivo Perturb-seq Xin Jin, “In vivo Perturb-Seq: A systematic genetic approach for psychiatric disorders”

A smell just might earn a fly’s favor While completely repulsing its neighbor. The same difference is found When flies look around. What circuits drive different behavior?

Today. 5pm. NW353. Be there or be square.
We have lots of sequence, in brief, But the meaning rests on the belief That binding is better On some sets of letters. Neural networks can learn these motifs! Peter Koo, “Representation learning of genomic sequence motifs with convolutional neural networks”

You’ve heard of these proteins, I bet, And we’ve learned lots through blood, tears, and sweat, But ‘til now were thwarted Re: what gets transported Through ATP binding cassette. Sri Srikant, “Substrate selectivity in ABC transporters”

Today in NW353, we’re doing a workshop about strategies for brainstorming and executing ideas in science.
In poems and science, you see, We think inspiration is key. So, um, um, well, um, Wait, shoot… um um um …how can scientists think of ideas? Jim Valcourt, “How to Brainstorm, Develop, and Project Manage Ideas in Science”

Here’s recent QBS speaker Jon Bloom on whether the brain could implement backprop
In 1987, Stephen Grossberg explained why the brain cannot learn like machines do. Yesterday at MIT, I begged to differ based on some simple math. On Monday, we're having lunch. I ♡ Boston! RT the talk to your neuro friends if you enjoy skeptical looks. :)

Come to NW 353 at 5 pm today to see Chris Rycroft confront whichever member of his lab decided to publicly roast him.
Today's limerick/roast comes from a semi-anonymous member of Chris Rycroft's lab: Chris makes his figures in gnuplot. His code twists and turns like huge knot. He'll talk reference maps, So bring thinking caps. A "scientist"... maybe a crackpot?
