If I ever have the need to share something work or non work related it will be here.

Interesting read about the pros and cons about working from home (thanks +Filipe Cadete for sharing this!) in the +The New York Times. In essence working from home promotes productivity and working at the office promotes creativity.

It's exciting to see how big tech companies like Google/Facebook and now also Yahoo try to make life at campus as great as possible to sort of getting you hooked on getting to work. Also by limiting your desk space and closing doors at work to increase serendipitous encounters.

TB vaccine takes a tumble
A leading candidate for a sorely needed new vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) has failed to protect children against the disease in a major clinical trial.
Published today in The Lancet, the results of the trial of the MVA85A vaccine show that it seems to have “no significant efficacy” against either TB or infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The results are a major blow to the TB research community, as MVA85A had seemed highly promising as…

Looks like a pretty simple way of running backend stuff on a cloud in a normal Python environment. Did anyone played around with #PiCloud  do you like it? As they seem to run stuff in parallel does anyone has any input about how many concurrent jobs it is running for you in the background (as in if I ask to run a function 100.000 times how many are running at the same time?). Just being #curious  here 🙂

About me

I am a Lead Data Scientist at Microsoft in the World-Wide Data Insights CTO office focusing on cloud solutions for the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge specialising in Big Data Biology while being based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).

In my previous "academic life", I was working in Ewan Birney's research group. My main subject was understanding non-coding variation using genome-wide molecular assays, like FAIRE and CTCF, onto Human cell line populations. Another research interest was identification of whole-body phenotypes in Human MRI scans using Machine Learning techniques.

Furthermore, I'm the co-founder of Rijschoolvergelijker. The largest driving school comparison website in the Netherlands with European ambitions.
