What I understood is that it seems that events have a BIOS, presumably before they boot into access to attendees and I don’t know why one would want to add that information there.

Schools don’t incentivise learning yourself. The assignment are graded. Form is emphasised over content. Where do you reward making mistakes and learning yourself? There is no moral high ground in stating it makes no sense, if the institutions are literally asking for the opposite.

I am not sure I see that. There is a race to the common denominator on how to present the findings pushed by colleagues, reviewers, editors and the fear to be accepted and funded. Publish or perish has side effects towards the how to publish.

On HLN, Bart Ghesquière, Head of the VIB Metabolomics Core Leuven, shares his expert perspective on a recent large-scale metabolomics study exploring how a simple finger-prick blood test could help identify disease risk long before symptoms appear.

Great. πŸ‘ It is mostly muscles and hardly fat. It’s what makes them dangerous.

Shouldn’t we be more embracing the imperfections and go with the science is communicated in broken English - spoken slowly equivalent of formatting?

I fully agree and I appreciate a professional carried approach.
However, it’s about science and content. If the AI chatbot revolution told me anything, the hard focus on style is at times is not helpful.

Why not provide ebook files, leaving the choice of font to the reader ?
Also likely the better standard than pdf, just saying.

Professor @mancusorenzo.bsky.social just presented his new work at #NHD25.

Some of his key findings include:
‒ GRN LOF→ microglial overactivation and lysosomal failure
β€’ Lysosomal failure β†’ microglial degeneration eventually worsening neuropathology

Belgium had the seat in Europe during that time and is was considered a very productive period!

Also, similar to large genomes redundancy adds resilience !
