Totality

Heartbroken to hear of the loss of Bill Catterall today. Thank you, Bill, for inspiring me to continue asking questions.

At a tiny conference in Italy in 2011, a buzz started going around one afternoon: Bill Catterall had solved a voltage gated sodium channel structure, and he was going to share the structure publicly for the first time. (1/x)

[Greg Starek @GregStarek]

When all I could see was my project come to an end, Bill only saw new questions. This was the beauty of science: new findings lead to new questions which lead to new findings. He didn’t have answers, he insisted, but evidence that needed to interrogated, *especially* with theory.

@EstebanNG_ @BenJedlovec @ZelusAnalytics Incredible hire!

[Michael Baym @baym]

I wonder to what extent the growing fetishization of translational and applied research is just an end-of-history illusion: the inability to imagine that there are things we don't understand leading to the idea that we simply need to try harder to apply what we think we know

@johncole1 I worry about the long-term stability of these tools for this very reason. As more and more online content inevitably becomes AI-generated, if we are unable to reliably determine artificial information, AI will be producing its own training set, thereby baking in its own biases.
