Evan, this is so well written! We should all learn coding and use deep biology understanding to guide our way to analyze the data.

Thank you, I appreciate it! Your writing on the importance of keeping biological context in mind through all stages of an analysis has been deeply influential for me. I've also become more skeptical of all of my data visualizations as a result - I can't make a heatmap without asking if its lying to me now 🤣

This is amazing read! Thanks Evan...

Couple of years ago I realized that Western Blots in the lab though powerful but can only take me so far. I NEED to learn a little bioinformatics. Today I am (quite) proficient in RNA-seq and scRNA-seq, but deep inside I feel I am still scratching the surface, as I don't really know how a certain function works (with what assumptions) behind the scenes. Always gets me the imposter syndrome.
