Post on LinkedIn that reads: Some exciting professional news! After 3.5 great years at Optimal Counsel LLP, I'm moving to Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt LLP, where I will continue representing emerging tech & CPG companies and expanding my investor-side practice! I'm deeply grateful for my colleagues at Optimal, who have shaped me for life. Being part of a firm's founding team is a singular, extraordinary privilege - I can't thank you all enough for including me on the journey. I will be taking a breather between my last day at Optimal (today) and my first day at Reitler (March 9) to rest and reconnect with the many excellent people in my life - especially ones I haven't yet met IRL (#virtualofficelife), or haven't seen in ages. If you're in the tristate area and would like to catch up, drop me a line. Needless to say, my schedule's pretty open! :) Cheers to the next adventure!

We all have a (very tiny) glow of light, no movie magic needed Normal cellular processes in living things — from germinating plants to our own cells — create biophotons, though escaping light isn’t visible to us.

Did you know that every single living thing GLOWS.

A tiny, tiny bit. It produces photons as a byproduct of just...cell stuff. But...does it MATTER? What does it DO!? www.sciencenews.org/article/glow...

An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

Timeline cleanse. Here’s Cedar in her brand new pool.

Thrilled to be starting my new role at Atropos Health, using AI and ML to accelerate the generation and use of Real World Evidence!

Santa says she had a v busy night last night and deserves more treatos. All the cookies were tasty but insufficient.

Even with all their layers of abstraction, someone (perhaps the actual scammer, perhaps a misdirection) left their gmail address visible in the SOA DNS record for the site as the administrator...

We just sent an email to abuse@namecheap.com, so hopefully that gets somewhere...

Refund and Returns Policy - NoodleMagazine At Noodle Magazine, we make returns easy. Clear, simple steps for refunds, so you're always satisfied with your purchase.

The plot thickens: this phone number is also used (weirdly, since it's a US number) as the customer support number for a UK website called Noodle Magazine (noodle-magazine.co.uk/refund-and-r...)

omg omg

That's me! Most of my experience and published research are in healthtech, ML for cancer research, and applications of RWE and EHR data - though I'd be thrilled to contribute to products in other science-y domains! Please reach out if your team needs some more technical firepower 🧪

Pinned to Home! 💙

Picture of Adam and me in the waiting room at the restaurant Jont in Washington DC. we are sitting on a bench and smiling. I’m wearing a floral dress and he’s wearing a blue blazer and khakis.

Okay, I need a quick sec to talk about Jônt, the place @adamstasiw.com and I went in DC last night for his belated birthday. Not only was the food unbelievable, but they also surprised us with to-go dog treats for our puppy Cedar, IN A BOX WITH HER FACE ON IT. I’m still shooketh. Worth the trip!!

Celebrating a dear friend (who is not on this app yet) and all the good things she has accomplished, because those things matter goddamnit 💙💙 (See alt text on second pic)

Hello everyone! Re-introducing myself here. I’m a startup attorney, supporting early companies with formations, financings, M&A, and all their general corporate needs in between. I love referrals so please reach out! 🥰 www.optimalcounsel.com/team/elizabe...

Of course! Happy to help however I can

I'm sure y'all will find something that fits! I've personally found a lot of success from "cross-pollinating" techniques and ideas across disciplines, so hopefully these are helpful suggestions from someone with absolutely no biogeochemistry knowledge 😅

If anyone's got ideas on visualizing location-based multivariate data, I'm sure Dr. Bond would appreciate your insights! 🧪

Haha yeah always fun to dust off old techniques!

This probably entails venturing into a much more creative realm, but you might be able to co-opt some techniques from spatial transcriptomics papers - very different datasets, but the whole point there is mapping genomic data to cellular locations

The Art of Effective Visualization of Multi-dimensional Data Strategies for Effective Data Visualization

Not sure how useful this might be, but this page showcases some good techniques for visualizing multivariate datasets: towardsdatascience.com/the-art-of-e...

Depending on what you're looking to demonstrate, you could also potentially use a dimensionality reduction technique like PCA or UMAP

That face! What an expressive angel

So many good dogs - that's a very good photo

You know that episode of the Office when Jim listens to Kelly talk about famous people for 10 minutes, is like “okay, but what’s new with YOU” and she blinks and goes “I just told you”? That’s me between now and Nov 5.
