Right time at the right place 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Judge Reyes just became my favorite person.

This is, by far, the best and most complete description of what is currently happening to biomedical research in the United States. Derek Lowe normally writes an incredibly level-headed column on drug discovery in academia and the private sector. www.science.org/content/blog...

The word "bit" (as the unit for measuring information) was coined by Shannon in 1948 in the paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" (... and suggested by JW Tukey). #randomfact

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Of course, Nature is owned by Springer, which has as its majority shareholder Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, which is owned outright by the Sheinhardt Wig Company.

Hoy es el #DíaDelBiólogo: yo no lo soy de formación, pero llevo toda la vida 😉 estudiando bioquímica, biología molecular, microbiología... Y tengo el placer de trabajar (dentro y fuera de mi grupo de investigación) con grandes biólogos/as. Seas de bata o de bota, ¡feliz día!

Really interesting paper 🧪 🤩 Immune evasion through mitochondrial transfer 😮 Ikeda et al find that #mitochondria from cancer cells can #transfer over to T cells - altering their #metabolism & reducing antitumour immunity www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/d41... @nature.com

What’s the most influential course I’ve taken for computational genomics? Hands down: HarvardX’s Data Analysis for Life Sciences by Rafa Irizarry & Mike Love. Here’s why 👇 rafalab.dfci.harvard.edu/pages/harva...

The 2024 edition of the scariest cli-fi movie series ever made is out ... and it is more scary than any other ... and this is not a movie but reality. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5450/

Some years ago I wrote a simple R app to explore colors in HCL space. While it's clunky, it still is my preferred way of selecting colors, because it offers features other color selectors don't normally have. Today, thanks to shinylive, the app is available standalone. 🧵

Meta announced it would end fact-checking on its platforms, instead moving to an X-style “community notes.” But, X users say their efforts feel futile.

Interesting... CLI tool that uses a genetic algorithm to improve a LLM prompt, fitness evaluated by an LLM. github.com/shobrook/pro... Details in optimizer/utils.py 👀 @moorejh.bsky.social

Journals: DO NOT ASK ME if I tried to download, install, and run the software described in the paper I'm reviewing if you provide NO GUIDELINES on reviewing software in your instructions. Sorry - it's just an entirely different process that would be great to link to paper review but who has time?

Every day I get requests from folks to look at suspicious papers, to ask for help with suspicious PIs and dishonest labs - so many emails, so much work 😢 It is hard to say no, but there are so many bad papers and labs! But I cannot possibly take on anymore work. What should I do?

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form. It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

Valuable structure-function study of this receptor. A little pet peeve: "a structure was not available when our experimental work was carried out, so we used AlphaFold2 [...]". Fine, but no comparative figures or analysis outside of saying "it was consistent", no AFm version, PDBs couldn't hurt...

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ta...

Season’s Greetings & Happy New Year to everyone, especially to the friends & colleagues with whom I share a passion for Science & knowledge. I'll be moving altogether to BlueSky soon (still in X 🤷‍♂️) to continue the conversation on SynBio, Env Microb, big questions, occasional complaints & much more!

Improved enzyme functional annotation prediction using contrastive learning with structural inference www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Wow!!!! Look at that!

Muchas gracias por la invitación! En este número explicamos distintas áreas de la Biología donde la #IA ha transformado o está transformando nuestro entendimiento de la Biología.

Full room at today’s Xmas talk @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social Francis Mojica who discovered the CRISPR sequences. Really looking forward

Today the #XmasCABD celebrations have started! This session of talks is being hosted by Maria José Sanchez and the first speaker is Rafa Daga!
