I’ll be mostly abandoning this platform in favor of @bluesky! Please find me over there instead!

Lots of scientists are also migrating over #ScienceTwitter 🧪👩🏽‍🏫

@tangming2005 Thank you for these videos! I've been re-learning R as part of my new postdoc position, and your videos have been incredibly helpful!

@sebatlab I feel that social media isn't necessarily the best way to gauge what did or didn't go wrong unless you look across multiple demographics of profiles 🥲 Things inevitably turn into a self-curated echo chamber ...

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

"Public trust in science could far exceed that engendered by opaque and bureaucratic institutions if the scientific community stops acting like them. That means being more forthcoming and accessible, showing that scientists indeed update ideas when new data come along, and putting people and the public interest ahead of money and status for the powerful," writes H. Holden Thorp in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://t.co/47HflD2HGV

I'm glad to see an updated definition of #LongCOVID -- hopefully, it'll lead to greater support for people affected by it!

[NEJM @NEJM]

Because of the novelty and diverse expression of the condition, a variety of terms and definitions have been advanced for long Covid. Members of @theNASEM describe the process and rationale for the development of the 2024 definition. Read more: https://t.co/bT4lyV21vt

It's official! Super excited to join great colleagues at the @universityofga Center for Molecular Medicine and Complex Carbohydrate Research Center

This is a fantastic update for building #bioinformatics pipelines! Great job to the @SeqeraLabs developers on this tool!

[Seqera @SeqeraLabs]

We are thrilled to announce the release of a new major version of the #Nextflow VSCode Extension! 🚀

The #Nextflow VSCode extension now offers a modern developer experience with:

🔹 Precise errors and warnings
🔹 Syntax highlighting and auto-formatting
🔹 Code navigation
🔹 Hover hints and code completion
🔹 Parameter schema support
🔹 DAG preview for workflows

The VSCode extension is powered by a new Language Server for #Nextflow that elevates Nextflow beyond a DSL and into a language in its own right.

At this point, this blog post by Jay Sitter is quite old, but it's a wonderful breakdown on how GNU screen's hardstatus works! (I know, I know ... lots of people use tmux for multiplexing 😅)

As an #EndoWarrior and biomedical scientist, seeing efforts like this to advance research in our understanding of endometriosis makes me really, really happy! Congratulations to @WUSTL on this award!

[ARPA-H @ARPA_H]

What if a blood-based assay could identify & quantify endometriosis pain levels informing treatment?

@WUSTL @washumedicine will help address critical unmet challenges in women’s health for our #SprintForWomensHealth! 👏

For new PhD students in social science (and some old professors - I sure needed this a few years ago!): prepared some notes on what the "2024 PhD Tech Stack" should look like. Goal: your research is replicable, accessible, and efficient. 1/9

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

Your research paper shouldn't take 6 months to outline.

Most junior academics overcomplicate this process.

Here's a simple lo-if mind map I've used:

This PDF is one of my favorite documents that I think about often — the comparison of Pepsi to the smiley faces lives in my brain rent free! #GraphicDesign

Elsevier is one of the largest, most hated and most influential academic publishing companies in the world.

A thread🧵

[Michelle Franc Ragsac 🇵🇭🇺🇸 @mragsac]

@bakkermichiel @ScienceMagazine @mhtessler @summerfieldlab @GoogleDeepMind I haven’t deeply read the paper yet… but I was wondering what would happen if individuals stated any facts along with their opinions that were historically inaccurate in practice? Would those facts get flagged or annotated in addition to the model’s group statements?

Urrrrrr...All major papers of Victor Ambros are shared with his wife Rosalind Lee....

Does the nobel committee just hate women called "Rosalind"???

This feature is extremely important for everybody to read! Wonderful work @callimcflurry — I heard whispers of this incident happening in @UCSDNeuro but wasn’t aware of the full story

[Calli McMurray @callimcflurry]

Science is built on trust. What happens when someone destroys it?

My first feature for @_TheTransmitter investigates the emotional and existential fallout for one lab in the aftermath of a misconduct case.
