Thank you for this! There is unfortunately a lot of pressure in publishing and grant-writing to do science this way. Volume-driven science gets published more often in CNS and shiny new omics technologies get the big grants, which, as you mentioned, puts us that don’t have at a huge disadvantage.
Put so eloquently what many have been saying for years. Quantity/fishing expeditions do not equal quality, even if you tend to find these types of stories in top journals. I find myself seeing these bombardments of -omics plots and thinking, “so what?!”
Y’all should read this, it’s so well-said.
“Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority.”
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

My heart is with my friends, family, and neighbors in Minnesota. Solidarity and love to the heroes peacefully protesting (some arrested) in subzero temperatures. You are on the right side of history and the world is watching—you give us hope even in these dark times. ❤️

Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal government doesn't act extrajudicially. Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”
People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to switch from Calibri font back to Times New Roman. But let's be honest, this is a Comic Sans administration.

We are all Dr. Brunkow 😴

Happy 30th anniversary to one of the greatest, most life-changing albums of all time, What’s the Story, Morning Glory? #oasis
Congratulations to Gina and her team on the hard work and great effort; happy to be included in such a cool story! #immunosky #immunometabolism
Only single cell sequencing of the all these post docs will reveal why
Still riding this high of seeing one of the greatest gigs of all time with some of the greatest people 💕 #oasis #murrayfield #feelingsupersonic #morningglory
Dear Europeans who like to suffer through the 30+ degree weather, unable to sleep:
Just out in Infection and Immunity!
Our latest review explores how neutrophils balance antimicrobial defense with tissue protection during infection, with a focus on metabolic signaling and NETs.
Read it here: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

A comparison of mouse vs human tumor microenvironments shows a major difference.
Mouse TMEs have more macrophages, while human TMEs have more T cells.
Chemokine expression patterns are also different.

Can we use what we’ve learned so far about #immunometabolism in macrophages and neutrophils as cancer immunotherapy? Not yet, but someday. I’m happy to share our latest review, summarizing the state of the field in the context of #myeloidcells and #lungcancer

P-hacking
Removing outliers, using alternative statistical methods and running extra experiments are some methods that could be used to change the P-value. Be careful not to fall in this trap! Stay sceptical! Null results are a normal part of science.
