My first "first-author" paper after a long struggle is finally online! 🥺
We put a lot of work in it with @iLivius @SessitschAngela @NebTheSilly

Researchers just found that gas stoves are responsible for 12.7% of childhood asthma cases.

Recently I read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality.

I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests.

Here's what I learned.

Here are my 12 guidelines for data exploration and analysis with the right attitude for discovery:
1. You never really finish analyzing a dataset. You just decide to stop and move on at some point, leaving some things undiscovered. 🧵

[Cintia Cs @sci_ntia]

Thanks @iLivius for your codes over the years. They were like flower bouquets, getting more subtle over the years and I could always pick and place some flowers into my own to make it better!

[Cintia Cs @sci_ntia]

I learned the most from people when they shared their code with me. Especially if it was a person occasionally sharing their code over years and I could also see how differently they were doing things as they also matured.

1/
During my years in the lab, I observed that some people hoard their scripts and do not want to share or teach others.

I was the opposite. Although I was a beginner, I taught all that I knew and share my scripts with other lab members who were beginners too.

1/ Learning bioinformatics
the old way:
1. Take a bioinformatics degree in a school
2. Read programming books
--------
my way:
1. learn by doing a project
2. learn by reproducing a figure in a paper
3. learn by teaching what you learned
4. learn from online resources

Researchers have discovered the first known "virovore," an organism that feeds on viruses. Probably there are many others like it -- an entire, previously unknown food chain.
One day into 2023, and already things are going topsy turvy.

@JasonSouthwell @fedetibaldo @BilltheConquer @CriticalCupcake @elonmusk How many more scientists do you need to summon here to comment how we actually have scientific consensus on things while it doesn't mean that we stopped doing research in those topics? We constantly disprove ourselves if there's enough evidence... It's all statistics and math.

[Cintia Cs @sci_ntia]

@SondereggerEma1 @JDougLittle @CrashBanditsss @CriticalCupcake @elonmusk Although he was talking about actual scientific peers and not people who would have claimed 1+1 equals 3.

@Ryan06974467 @david_perell For me reading an enormous amount of books since I was 6 did the thing. Later on as I learned foreign languages I also started to read in those languages. Enhanced language skills can be achieved through several ways.

@hisotalus I know institutions and countries pay for access but are there individuals who ever pay for single publication access?

[Cintia Cs @sci_ntia]

@hisotalus Honestly curious, is really anyone who is paying for accessin scientific publications? Like, who is that "everyone else" actually?

[Cintia Cs @sci_ntia]

@MushtaqBilalPhD These are really great and useful ones! Thanks for compiling this list!

We should never forget that humanity is part of nature and as per biology, we are part of the Animal Kingdom. Forgetting and forcing our mindset out of nature is the reason we are standing here in the middle of a changing climate, mass extinctions and diseases of civilization.

Two Moon rockets, 50 years apart. On this day 50 years ago, the Apollo 17 mission had just completed its wet dress rehearsal. Today at @NASA_Kennedy, NASA's Artemis mission sits on its launch pad, ready for launch at 1:04 am ET.

[NASA @NASA]

We are going.

For the first time, the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion fly together. #Artemis I begins a new chapter in human lunar exploration.

@wayuu_PhD @AparnaKupps @Anxious_PhD @PhDForum @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice I did exactly this. Embroidery and knitting. Just the perfect mix of creativity and immersion. Plus you can develop your technique,slowly increase the complexity of the pattern and so on. Just don't forget to stretch your fingers, hand and back afterwards.

[Cintia Cs @sci_ntia]

@BioMickWatson Plenty of highly populated countries already heavily rely on meat import, which also increases the emissions through their transport. I promise soon I will also dive into FAOstat and generate charts from these.

[Cintia Cs @sci_ntia]

@BioMickWatson If the wordlwide meat-consumption follows past trends (doubled in the last 3 decades) then we start to have a problem. Formerly poor regions and countries climbing up the income ladders and suddenly millions are able to afford more meat.

Them: nice graph, how long did it take you?
Me: thanks, 4 years.
