Week 48

11/06 - 11/10

Done and To Do

• Spent most of the week working on CHOP project, tasks included:
  • moving code over from lab 1 to lab 2
  • writing SQL functions to extract relevant variables from lab 2 datasets and saving data to csv files
  • reorganized lab 2 repo to make it more flexible for running ML pipeline (takes in feature, target, and participant spec files that can be easily configuarable)
  • rewrote train/test splits so that we’re balancing across sex, race, and suicide attempt
  • did a basic summary including the new BHS data (we now have data up until Apr. 2023)
  • unfortunately, everything takes a bit longer in the virtual machine (it’s glitchy and requires rebooting often)
• Met with Elina, Harsha and Meryem about CHOP project. Meeting notes here
• Did some work on OHBM poster with Yibei
  • Mostly identifying subject groups + other relevant phenotypic information for inclusion in analysis
• I’ve been appointed as lead author on an MIT Science Policy Review paper, which will focus on Precision Medicine. Met with the team this week - meeting notes here
• Met with Ran Rotem from Marc Weisskopf’s group at Harvard to discuss a potential collaborator on the developing cerebellum. Meeting notes here
• Did some reading on the SCPAB Transition to Independence Award and I think I’m interested in applying. Deadline is rather soon (mid-January) so will need to get working on the application soon.
