Summary
I completed all the publication and course requirements for the PhD portion of the MD/PhD degree at UVA, and despite being fully funded by an F31 I left the program to perform independent research. As an independent scientist I developed a popular TCGA data portal (OncoLnc), created a search engine for preprints (PrePubMed), and developed methods to detect error and fraud in the literature and exposed one of the most famous cases of academic misconduct. I then returned to the dream I had in grad school of applying computational methods to the increasingly available genomics data being generated and took a position at Johns Hopkins to help usher in a deep learning revolution for genomics.

The GRIMMER test: A method for testing the validity of reported measures of variability
I realized how to apply granularity testing to test statistics, i.e. the fabled GRIMMEST test. I blogged about it here: http://www.omnesres.com/research/grimmest/ The post ha...
