Library scenes - with almost all scientific literature being digital, including textbooks, I wonder how many of these books actually got picked up in the past year. Any insights into library functioning folks?
Leaving them behind with a Loom video guide would be really helpful. Especially if you’re working on HPC and docker. I’m sure it’ll be great! Also many bench scientists (me) struggle with interpreting data from omics/seq rather than the methods themselves. Any pointers there might be helpful! Best!
My brother did the same for his last lab meeting - lots of “oooohhs and aaaaahs” from the audience when he ran stuff from command line. Nearly comical but that combio - benchbio gap is real
Congrats Diedre!
Just like food - junk content and mental obesity will hit the most vulnerable the hardest. In such an environment, we must promote independent thought, nuanced discourse, and sustained engagement with any literature as ever more important skills in the future - starting from primary education. 🧪
I believe we met at a BMES or Gordon Conference - it was great seeing your name pop up on my feed, I’m looking forward to seeing your work ahead!
Congrats 🎉
Yikes!
Growing up in urban Saudi Arabia, I actually didn’t get to see a true night sky until my mid twenties when I visited Cherry Springs State Park, PA. It is almost a grounding experience and one that a huge chunk of future generations might be deprived of.
🗓️Upcoming launch!
Join us live on 26 July from 02:40 BST/03:40 CEST to watch our Vega-C rocket take flight once again.
#VV27 will carry Airbus's four CO3D satellites and CNES MicroCarb mission.
🚀 Launch is scheduled for 03:03 BST/04:03 CEST.
Call me skeptical but at this point it all appears symbolic unless someone’s willing to enforce these laws and see the judgement carried through. Unfortunately, symbolic feels good but doesn’t achieve tangible outcomes.
I made this bluesky account a little less than a year ago. Didn’t use it much because lack of users and low adoption. Thought other social media might bounce back (delusional me). But now I’m convinced that traditional social media has very little to offer. Back on here to give it another chance!
Washington Post published my resignation letter in its entirety (even the damn typos...)

It seems easy to make fun of basic science – for example why would you want to study bacterial immune systems? But then you would have to admit that that’s exactly what led to the discovery of using CRISPR as an insanely good technology for genome engineering.
Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.
1/23 Big news for the #ObenaufLab! So excited to finally share our new study providing another puzzle piece, why immunotherapy fails in many tumors, now out in @Nature 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
First panel discussion of the symposium: (Generative) AI and its implications for bioimage analysis. Panellists are Assaf Zaritsky, Lydia France and Xiaoxuan Liu. Chaired by Amy Strange #CBIAS2024
The goal is not to have a zero risk project; those are generally not worth working on. People with a good relationship with risk are definitely not avoiding it. They are super honest about it and they basically make it their goal to slowly chip away at it.

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on?

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
a cartoon with two panels panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there" The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons
Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏!

Would love to be added! And glad to connect with another HNC researcher 😃
Some of us also just need to get out of our own way. For me, the beginning stage of writing is the most intimidating because it brutally exposes all the flaws in my logic and gaps in my knowledge - much needed but also just a bit scary
Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the skyline
We need to have a ‘code of conduct’ for reviewing manuscripts, like (1) if you say that something is not novel then provide the reference. (2) If you propose an experiment, state precisely to which claim it is crucial. (3) If you want to say something nasty then sign your name.
Too often we spend only two weeks choosing a problem and then many years trying solving it, but this limits our potential impact.
A must read for PhD students: Problem choice and decision trees in science and engineering.

Appreciate it
Please include me too! Thanks
I’d love to be added, thanks!
