These sound almost like what our current government offices should be renamed in light of recent political changes.

This is horribly misguided. Preprints are nothing more than vehicles for disseminating work that is nominally unreviewed. Preprints don't serve an anti-science agenda outside of how they are employed. Scientists are already skeptical of journals they aren't familiar with. I don't see the difference.

"Patterns of crossover distribution in Drosophila mauritiana necessitate a re-thinking of the centromere effect on crossing over" Oh wow, THIS is what Scott Hawley and I exchanged some e-mails about last year! Definitely gotta read this now. academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...

Why is bioRxiv loading so poorly lately. In the last week, I've seen EXTREMELY (a minute or more) response times. This is the latest, and it appears to be on bioRxiv's end, not mine or Cloudflare's.

Does anybody know if NIH advisory council meetings have resumed? I'm curious if the council meeting for NIGMS on February 6th will be held on Wednesday as scheduled?

So far, my most significant/consistent use of LLMs is to ensure my e-mail correspondence is polite and concise. I'm still not confident in doing more than experiment on using it for anything else. To be clear, I haven't coded too much lately, so maybe it will shine there when I get around to it.

Hello Bluesky friends! I am a #newPI starting at UC Irvine in April, interested in gene regulation and functional genomics in stem cell models of development (esp neural crest). We are hiring at all levels – please reach out/spread the word! sskimlab.org
