This is amazing to watch. But also it just looks so painful.

This cartoon very much speeks to me today.

It’s a pleasure to read theses that demonstrate the new doctor deeply understands a subject, and how to best convey a message. Beautiful representation of a peptide going below LLOQ in Skyline.

Great read. Really interesting from the perspective of a blue eyed none tongue roller. Every year in secondary school genetics lessons; the same question: "What you can't roll your tongue?".

'Omics has suffered from the imbalance between the great amount of effort that has been put into generated more data and the lack of any significant effort into the more difficult problem of how to use the resulting information effectively.

I would love to see more research teams employ data managers. While roles like data scientists and research analysts are crucial for analyzing data, those roles often don't have the time to develop standardized and documented processes that lead to better data. #databs cghlewis.com/blog/hire_da...

LOL. Savage (but accurate I guess) Also, another well written 'Big Story' from @wired.com 👏

I'd bet one consequence of mainstreaming LLMs for "brain-dead" low-stakes language work will be a linguistic & intellectual sclerosis—little challenges like "how to write this check-up email without pissing off Jeff in Sales" keep us fresh and ready us for big ones

The closet technological approximation I have thought of to LLMs: The Microwave! Excels in niche contexts, broadly used, but never loved. The results are universally acknowledged to be pretty crap when applied to general cooking tasks. Saves labour at the margins, but probably cost very few jobs.

But the "subservient everything else" includes acquiring high quality data acquired in well designed experiments that engage with important scientific questions and all the logistics that make that happen. The work to make the writing possible is still 90% of the struggle.

Great to see another article standing up for DEI in science too www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"If science is to honour one of its core values — a commitment to the truth wherever it might lead — scientists must stand up when DEI matters" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Fabulous addition the How-it-started : How-it's-going genra. Makes it obvious that outside the resurrecting extinct animals framing, all there is to see here is a freeky transgenic mouse. Freeky trangenic mouse stories are very common.

I had the opportunity to give my perspective to The Analytical Scientist about recent events. With this article, I hope to give a voice to others who may not have the ability to speak out. #StandUpForScience theanalyticalscientist.com/business-edu...

I feel like I talk about data quality ad nauseam. Every week I see new examples of datasets that are going to be difficult for anyone to use because they were managed/organized poorly. So I am going to keep talking about it because I am hopeful that awareness can change practices. 🤞

Sunday morning coffee by the fire…it’s too damn cold to go outside (for those wondering, it’s 21°)
