Congratulation, you're officially a scientist now.

2. The Slow Path: Go slow, verify everything, achieve frustration

This is the “responsible adult” mode.

The engineer tries to:
- read every line
- reconstruct intent
- validate assumptions
- check invariants
- write tests the model should have written
- rewrite, refactor, and fix all things

Do they have it after infecting the fish with bacteria as well ?

Insanely cool

I have a joke about poor data management, but it's not FAIR.

Elle peut aussi essayer de demander à un labo ou un incubateur.
Genre le shaker (Génopole à Évry) ou biolabs par exemple.

And now they are about to reach the pinnacle for biology with full length protein with PTMs.
I see a future where every "mass spec" facility runs a Promethion and it is glorious.

I would say it went to where we are today, but some ideas take longer to reach reality than others.

I think ONT's strategy was and still is the correct one: start easy with DNA (stable, 4 letters to discriminate, massive application in diagnostic) and climb up the value chain.

Wait, so ONT demonstrated that they solved protein nanopore sequencing, including three PTMs, on peptides with a few zeptomolar accuracy (1e-21 !, 6 molecules/mL) almost a year ago (finally catching up London calling 2025) and no-one made a big deal out of it ??

This is actually insane.

Very interesting read, making the important distinction between software dev and data analysis workflows. Data analysis is more iterative than software dev because you mostly don't know what the final state of the analysis should look. Iteration is key.

Will definitely try the positron databot.

Did some of the perpetrator's name fail to be redacted as well or did the DOJ work with proper diligence for those ?

Treatment of a teenager with an ultra-rare condition is a medical milestone It will change regulators’ rule books

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

Anyone with non existing reference in their paper should get publicly named and shamed, and barked from any scientific role forever.
The continuity of knowledge is too important, we have to be able to trace the source of scientific claims.

Our job is to engage with, build upon, & further the academic literature! If you don’t take that responsibility seriously, feel free to find a better-paying job that you’ll be better at.

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one.

It's not totally impossible with everything they throw at the cancer and the Russians' expertise in virology.
I'm curious about the side effects though, no way they could dose every cancer patients repeatedly with 4 viruses.
Then comes the question of patient inclusion and mRNA manufacturing.

Cancer Vaccine - biotech solutions in the fight against cancer diseases Oncolytic and personalized vaccines - clinical trials and patient enrollment for Phase I begins as early as late 2024, early 2025

Anyone knows more about the new Russian cancer vaccine ?
The most reliable info I could find in English is that it's 4 viruses. The new press releases also sound like the full treatment involves personalized mRNA and that it was tested in 48 patients with 100% success

Yeah, LLM suck at data retrieval...

Please delete.
This lazy AI crap should not be encouraged. This dumbass could not even be bothered with getting actual pictures of all European leaders for this collage when then each have dozens of official portraits.

Je m’arrête là dessus un instant, car je vois souvent cette étude citée pour dire qu’en gros le recours à la clim augmenterait systématiquement la température de la ville de 2 à 3°C et que c’est bien la preuve que c’est pas une solution.
Ce qui est complètement partiel et trompeur.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Great model for both science and the journals viability.
Everyone just need to convince philanthropists to fund their favorite journals and everybody wins.

The strain on scientific publishing Abstract. Scientists are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume of articles being published. The total number of articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science has grown exponentially in recent years; ...

If I could change one thing about #ScientificPublishing I'd ask funding bodies to stipulate all work they fund be published in non-profit journals.

The knock-on effects would alleviate most of the strain on #AcademicSky.

This isn't hard. It's big, but actually, it's pretty easy.
