Replying to @anshulkundaje
Stator is not merely a cell annotation tool. Here, we demonstrate cell states can be highly *non-localised* (ie non-proximal) in expression space across multiple subtypes. So the real question is: what would be achieved by low-dim visualisation, and what question would it answer?

Disturbing visual similarities aside, which is worse? A laughably flawed AI anatomical hallucination that nobody took seriously, or a massive NIH project misusing UMAP hallucinations that wildly exaggerate genetic differences between races?

Everyone going apoplectic about someone publishing Midjourney hallucinations in a @frontiersin paper, but they're totally fine with people publishing T-SNE hallucinations in @nature.

Interesting insight into student motivation. We've a group leaderboard in our coding module for engagement with online material. The winning groups get tokens to exchange for donuts. But several students prefer to keep the token as a record of achievement than get the donut.*

*we let the students keep both. But perhaps students are less easily bribed by sticky treats and more interested in tangible proof of their effort. Next I'll consider whether we should convert our virtual badges on Moodle into physical stickers...
