OpenAi is kind of amazing. Just pasted in our science paper (https://t.co/qFa3nSwTUu) and asked to explain to a second grader got back out:

Scientists found that a single transcription factor (a special protein) was responsible for both, and that the pathway could help cells save resources when the food supply is running out.

So how exactly is the rape exception for abortion going to work? Is a victim going to have to prove in a criminal case that she was raped? And if she can't will she go to jail? It is estimated that only 1% of rape cases lead to convictions.

I'm beginning to think our holiday card should have had the four of us holding needles with the caption 'freedom through science'.

@JanSkotheim Wow! You don't think the background gives away your location?

[Mike Springer @mispri2]

Okay nytbee. You consider pettifog a reasonable word but not Neptune or pluot? Did someone really not like their science classes?

@BrahStevovo @dallandrummond Wait, they actually curate the words? I was assuming they were using some bizarre dictionary. I mean I can get that the scrabble word list is a bit loose but there are plenty of lists that contain basic scientific words. Although 'troponin' might be on the edge.

1/ Our preprint, in collaboration with @IsraelMOH, @TechnionLive, @HebrewU, @KalksteinNir and the Gertner Institute “BNT162b2 vaccine booster dose protection: A nationwide study from Israel” is out https://t.co/yx7OpKgaSu

8/ 12 days or more after the booster dose we found an ≈10-fold decrease in the relative risk of confirmed infection, and a >10-fold decrease in the relative risk of severe illness. Under a conservative sensitivity analysis, we find ≈5-fold protection against confirmed infection
