Some awesome work coming out of the @cecamEvents ECM workshop 🥳 @CicelyKrystyna and I are blown away with how much everyone is achieving! Can’t wait to share more tomorrow 👌🏻

@itsnashflynn If you find yourself calculating the half life of the "dose", that's when you have a problem.

[Joseph Abrams @Joe_Scientist]

@itsnashflynn I'm probably a lunatic because sometimes I use stand-up comedy instead of loud music to save my ears, but I also flirt with the minimum lethal dose of caffiene.

Not sure yet what to make of this, but a very interesting thread.

[Richard Sever @cshperspectives]

Massive news: eLife to abolish accept/reject decisions: papers will just be “peer reviewed”. Others can argue about this, but lots of interesting consequences. 1/9 https://t.co/FedRxI62iC

Holy shit

[Denis Wirtz @deniswirtz]

We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc).

Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.

So today I'm speaking at an NIH meeting on animal model systems in cancer prevention.

An organoid person says "I'm a bit of an outlier here."

One of the most misleading things about learning mathematics is that you are seeing the *output* of a great deal of trial, error, sweat, and tears, presented as if it’s obvious, or at best a product of cleverness.

Quick little thread on how this paper came about, and a really unexpected finding... 1/14 🧵

I'm pleased to announce (and would like help from #MathTwitter) in spreading the word about THREE tenure-track positions in Applied Mathematics @ucmerced

A very innocent man.

This was shared with me before, but it's worth repeating. Automation is coming to your lab, and it is always better to embrace/incorporate new technology than to get steamrolled by it.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

This autonomous robot can complete chemistry experiments 1,000x faster than a human scientist. Over an 8-day period the robot has chose between 98 million experiment variants and discovered a new catalyst for green technologies [read more: https://t.co/i9zUQuFm8W]

@micahgallen Thank you for asking this question. I hope at some point someone collects all the twitter stats questions and sticks them in a stats book as examples. These answers have been tremendously useful for my understanding of Spearman's.

#geometrynodes .. so ok I kind of made a solver with gnodes that uses generated flowmap to distribute rocks. Scale of the rocks affect how far they travel. #b3d

If you were a busy Ph.D. student, and you were going to teach yourself GPU programming, would it be a better use of time to do it in python or C++? #coding #AcademicTwitter
