Interesting sign on top of Meridian Mall. Looks like there's an important story behind it. Perhaps a previous building? #DunedinSabbatical

Building a knowledge graph for biomedical tasks usually takes months or years. 😰 What if you could do it in weeks or days? 🏃 We created BioCypher (https://biocypher.org) to make it easier than ever, but still flexible and transparent. 🧵⬇️
I find this bioRxiv report quite exciting. With very old mice, the injection of AAV to deliver Yamanaka factors doubled the remaining lifespan. I am surprised at the level of success. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.04.522507v1 #donotdothisathome
I'm excited that we've put up a new #preprint on a project that I think of as the "thing explainer." The goal of this project was to, for a pair of biomedical entities, provide the simplest hypothesis for how they might be connected (after, of course, correcting for things like node degree, node type degree distribution, etc).
Conceptually this is simple. In reality (the parenthetical), it's pretty hard. Software & conceptual advances to make it possible.

The introduction of seamless, accessible electronic medical records is overdue.
To ensure the delivery of appropriate, effective care across the #CDNhealth system, @clairehsnyman underscored that patients and providers require timely access to the information they need.
A great @UBC faculty position for a senior geneticist is open for applicants. I'm looking forward to working with you in Vancouver. https://www.med.ubc.ca/careers/professor-tenure-donald-rix-british-columbia-leadership-chair-in-genetic-medicine/
