Reviewer Question:

If the manuscript is in english but the variables and comments of their source code is in another language, is it fair to ask the authors to at least write code comments in english? Common language for code would really help make the project more reproducible.

1/2 This mifepristone ruling by the Texas judge is unbelievable. Not only is it terrifying with regard to reproductive rights, it also is terrifying to read the judge’s ruling. He did not only justify this on anti abortion grounds….

Key aspects of the mind are under metabolic regulation.

Good example here where social behavior in mice is modified by the organism’ systemic metabolic state.

@evornithology How about only coloring the median or max-min individuals for each site. Grey out the others.

New preprint from our group. Q: How accurate is bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing? A: Not as accurate as we expected. In fact, at the single-cell level, PCR bias has a significant effect. We quantify this experimentally. A 🧵 https://t.co/xXAMe1ajGB #SingleCell

When trying to program in a new language/framework/environment, just getting started feels demoralizing and slow. ChatGPT takes care of all that bureaucracy. It's very freeing.

Protip for asking computational biology/or any questions: 🧵
1/. State what kind of data it is
I am not putting you on the spot. I received DM like this a lot. It seems to be single-cell data.

Society needs a group of people that knows how stuff works but doesn’t get rich off it. Impartial judges so to speak. I fear the increasing role of $$$ in academic hiring is limiting the pool of impartial experts when we need them the most.

Thoughtful @nature news and views by Allan Balmain @UCSFCancer @UCSF on how air pollution promotes lung cancer through inflammation, summarizing an elegant study by @CharlesSwanton. https://t.co/g6esOJHRUR

@Jeff_Mold We’re all slowly turning into selfish replicators aka cellular monocultures.

Nature will find a way indeed!

I think our secret weapon is the brain. Its studying the cancer and tweaking the antitumor immune response to outcompete. oncologists need to be more like ethologists

[Charles Swanton @CharlesSwanton]

Today our important study on air pollutants in the promotion of lung cancer has been published in @Nature led by @WillHilliam @LimEmilia @DrClareWeeden @SwantonLab ...Thread below🧵https://t.co/q1ICykmVox

Looking to study chromatin interactomes with proximity labeling? Check out our new paper in @Nature, where we combine our split-intein expertise with uMap technology from the @MacMillan_Lab to map the microenvironment of chromatin state changes.
