Mulkey owns Brooks. Same as it ever was. Look at the box score of the Final 4 semi 2023 VT/LSU. Came back in 4Q. Feel for Georgia Amoore.

Was just saying to scientist friend they’re rolling back 100 years of discovery and clinical implementation. Bring back phrenologists and blood letting!

Great episode. Many years ago a colleague down the hall, working on giardia, used a-amanitin in a cell culture expts to distinguish host v giardia protein synthesis. So much prep, review and security involved. As parasitologists, thought you’d appreciate it

It’s not just California and Massachusetts. Alabama via UAB and Huntsville has big NIH funding. Louisiana has LSU, Tulane and Pennington

Glad you’re here. No more pasting your links for me.

Thanks for the insights. I’m looking forward to confirmation. After Nahum Sonenberg et al discovered internal ribosome entry sites on picornaviruses, a shocker, I decided to be open to strange things.

And when Brian May joined his band on stage in 2024 it’s believed the only time 2 STEM PhDs with platinum albums played together

The NJ dairy industry is minuscule and there is little poultry aside backyard hobbyists. Perhaps this is from excreta of wild avians?

Topic appropriate to suggest edyong209.bsky.social ‘s excellent book “I Contain Multitudes”. He addresses this topic I heartily recommend this and his “Immense World” to scientists and they are wonderful discussion to lay folk

A agree that predatory journals and preprinting are not analogous but how does one police unscrupulous submissions? Even PNAS USA modified it's self-communcation ms policy in 2010 to combat missuses. We are in a time of great doubt of science. See cause of firings of Stanford & Harvard presidents.

The change technology is bringing to society echos the changes of the turn of the 20th century. Both are disorienting.
The sci-fi author and futurist Arthur Clarke stated “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Interesting that ABC piece does not mention the Canadian teen who as hospitalized in November with #H1N5 whose genotype was closest to wild geese.

People just can’t comprehend relative risk. Years ago, daughter’s APP Chem tried hard in some exercises. Smart kids but not intuitive.

Can’t speak to clinical medicine but was involved with review and validation of a research facility for molecular biology, cell biology and microbiology. It was a useful exercise. We occupants were much happier and efficient than we might have been

Good point. Reviewers should be looking for this during their process, too, and asking for inclusion.

Appreciate your podcast. Like a Lunch and Learns from my research career but without the pizza. Great episode.
The literature on the appendix’s role in ulcerative colitis and Parkinson’s Disease is contradictory but provocative

Altmetrics are fascinating be it from "Altmetrics" or Plum Analytics, but be aware that one one cannot directly determine good versus bad media interactions from the score. It's scalar not vector. It does show engagement but click through to see specifics

I am sympathetic but it’s always been the donors. Worked with Gladstone, Whitehead, Broad, and Pennington collaborators. Maybe do the academics should do the sports dept thing. “X” department at “Y” bldg like Coach K court at a Cameron arena

To your first post, besides efficiency of a larger n under an administrator, do you think it is better to have diverse people and skills in proximity? Was it better or worse to have immunologists and virologists together in same depts as HIV was elucidated? You see my bias in the question.

Gadankenexperiment: was it catalytic or inhibitory to have immunologists and virologists often in the same department as HIV pathology was determined?

Don’t know Dr. Kelly but worked with 3 of his former post docs and all were top quality scientists who sung his praises.
As grad student saw immunologists try to free themselves from the shackles of microbiology. This was right when what would be what was identified as HIV was being identified.
