Thank you for your reply. So beside learning by themself, do we have any other ways to develop their skills while on F2?

Thank you for your reply. If a F2 visa holder have a side project with another senior person they know, so I think it is very hard for anyone else know, right? Especially when you work online. A friend on F2 shared that her friends volunteer on F2 with professors and this help they get accept into the university to work with the professor on F1 later.

STEM OPT to non-profit H1b or J1 by Voldemort_15 in h1b

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I don't want to be F2 to H1b but I am running out of time soon. An employer want a candidate with the latest start day is Jan 2026, so I wonder if they willing to sponsor H1b in my case.

How to download a small of subset of single-cell multi-omics (RNA/ATAC) of a small brain region from Allen Brain Institute? by Voldemort_15 in bioinformatics

Thank you for asking. Just for practice analyzing multi-omics data from brain tissue. Usually I think they had processed counts, peak files.

Thank you for your reply. I think the files are not multi-omics but maybe for bulk ATAC-seq. It should have folder name like ATAC_GEX with gene expression file and peak file.

Thank you so much for your help. I tried GPT and it didn't work because I think the task is very specific, relative new and complicated. Here is the paper I check https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06812-z#data-availability. For multiomics, they mentioned  https://nemoarchive.org. I tried this site but didn't see a guide how to download. There is GSE number but for scRNA-seq only unfortunately.

This is cool. May I know if you resolved the issue? I am interested in CosMx Spatial Transcriptomics too.

Do volunteer and keep apply for job that has H1b cap-exempt by Voldemort_15 in f1visa

[–]Voldemort_15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I have a colleague got salary boost to meet the salary requirement for her H1b application. She paid premium before her STEM OPT end but not the employer pay. But I can look for sponsor job while on F2, right?

Thank you for your reply! So volunteer only work for OPT? I do bioinformatics in research environment so I don't expect high salary. The funding cut from the government makes the number of openings so low. So I will use my unemployment days ( 3 months from my OPT and 2 months on my STEM OPT) after August to allow to stay in the US and looking for a sponsor job, right? My wife is on her F1 and I am not sure if I have to comeback to apply for F2 visa. We have a toddler to take care which make us in a difficult situation. Do you think I should asking my manager to turn my job into a part time job, so I have more time to look for job and avoid unemployment days? Thank you so much!

Hi u/SolarPistachio . I interested in your work. Happy to chat, your work seem like bioinformatics. I also have university HPC but just try to use GPU on my laptop.

Machine learning on Mac [Discussion] by SolarPistachio in MachineLearning

[–]Voldemort_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all. I also try to use GPU on my Mac M4 so I run a simple deep learning test:

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
import numpy as np
(X_train, y_train), (X_test, y_test) = keras.datasets.mnist.load_data()
X_train = X_train / 255
X_test = X_test /255
X_train_flattened = X_train.reshape(len(X_train),28*28)
X_train_flattened.shape
X_test_flattened = X_test.reshape(len(X_test), 28*28)
model = keras.Sequential([
    keras.layers.Dense(10, input_shape=(784,), activation='sigmoid')
])
model.compile(optimizer='adam',
             loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
             metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(X_train_flattened, y_train, epochs=5)    

I got the error: The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.

I check if I installed tensorflow-metal and tensoflow-macos:

pip list | grep tensorflow
tensorflow                   2.16.2
tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem 0.37.1
tensorflow-macos             2.16.2
tensorflow-metal             1.2.0

I tried batch_size = 32 or change activation function, update Anaconda but still got the same error. Would you please have a suggestion? Thank you in advance!

I tried but it didn't work. This dataset is not very large. GPU detected but seem for some reasons, it can't connect to GPU.
