The Whispers of Biology

  I had to analyze data from 96- or 384-well plates — each exported as a CSV file with thousands of rows. Sounds familiar? Yes! 96 or 384 wells — the well plates from the wet lab. My data came from 2D cell culture imaging, where I had to analyze single-cell information. I opened each file, searched for specific values, and repeated the same thing again and again. What I faced were: - Finger pain 😂 - Human weakness → human error after half a day of doing this - Forgetting to save → all work gone - Changing cut-offs → meant redoing everything from the start (and you know how often supervisors change them!) I realized all of this was just repetition. I knew every step — I just had to do it again for every well (or many plates). So I told my supervisor I wanted to use coding/programming to automate it. His answer? No. He wanted me to do it manually — “by eyes” — to get results faster. But I believed I could do more. So I decided to learn coding (R) secretly. I didn’t tell him — I ...

🐧 Penguin → the Linux mascot. Unix command line is like a rare language. I chose to learn it after Prof. Xiaole Shirley Liu taught me in STAT115, and with Tommy’s encouragement. Many said: “Just use no-coding tools, it’s easier.” Yes, that’s possible — but in the long run, harder paths build stronger skills. Today, I’m grateful I took that way. ❤️ Iron Man armor → transformation is never easy. Like Iron Man, the process is tough, but it makes you stronger — a scientist’s version of becoming a superhero. 🧪💻 Hybrid identity → test tube in one hand, laptop in the other. This penguin represents my journey as a hybrid wet–dry lab researcher. ⸻ 💡 Transformation is hard, but that’s what makes it powerful. You can do it too — keep going! 🚀 ⸻ Build a greater science together with me! 🌸 Thai language: NO CANCER FB page / Blogger https://lnkd.in/gQa3apBc 🧬 English language: The Whispers of Biology (LinkedIn / Blogger) https://lnkd.in/gRTnrpRz ⸻ #TheWhispersOfBiology #HybridResearcher #Data...

 How to remember commands/code? Easy: just type it 100 times yourself (when you actually need to use it),   INSTEAD OF copy-pasting. 😂   Old days: read docs → adapt → remember.   Now: LLMs prep everything → brain remembers nothing (not even a simple line of code 🤯) ========== Build a greater science together with me!

From Cell Line🧫 to Command Line💻  & The Most Headachest person🤫 Me as… 🧫 Wet lab = Headache 💻 Dry lab = more Headache 🧫🧬💻 Hybrid Wet-Dry = The most Headache 🤯 Anyone else feel like a human ping-pong ball between the wet lab and dry lab? 😅 I made the leap from bench work to bioinformatics hoping to be the ultimate translator... turns out, sometimes I'm just fluent in headache (on both sides! 😂). Seriously though, open and early communication between our wet lab wizards and dry lab dynamos is KEY! Instead of waiting for the data to land, let's chat before experiments, during analysis, and really understand each other's world. It's a two-way street, folks! Bridging this gap isn't just about fewer headaches for us hybrids; it's about getting the absolute BEST out of our amazing skills and resources on both sides. Let's talk more, collaborate better, and make some awesome discoveries together! 🚀 For everyone who transform from wet to...

 "Vibe Coding: When everything in coding is thrown to AI." 🤖  That was the real eye-opener from yesterday's Sunday AI Webinar, where I got to hear from some super smart folks in AI, economics, and medicine. What's Vibe Coding? 🤔 Basically, it's when you just tell AI to write your code or fix your errors. You know, like, just copy-pasting the error message and letting the AI do its thing. At first, it's awesome! Super fast, seems like a shortcut. But then, as one of the speakers, Dr. Piyalitt Ittichaiwong , pointed out,  you can end up feeling super bummed out.  Why? 'Cause you hit a bug and get stuck in this endless loop you can't get out of. And for real, that's exactly what happens! 😵‍💫 I'm not even a proper coder myself – I actually studied pharmacy!  My first coding attempts were pretty messy, and I totally hit that "build it, break it, repeat" cycle. That's when I realized I needed to go back to square one. Why Fundamenta...
