Yes.

Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.

Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

[Jason Locasale @LocasaleLab]

Academia runs on grant writing, not science.

And the longer you stay, the more you forget there’s a difference.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Great day for getting out with the kids. Let’s all celebrate our Canada, the very best country in the world!

[Joao Pereira @jdpereira]

Hey everyone: haven’t done one of these in a while, but please remember - you are doing great.

Doing science is hard, and sometimes everything fits in nicely, sometimes nothing makes any sense.

You are doing. Great.

We’re proud of you.

Really, it doesn’t matter where you are.

[Dr. Stephanie Shames @shames_lab]

@BertSalvail Congrats, Hubert!

Thrilled that our work on this problem with @KarelBrinda, @ZaminIqbal, and others is out in @naturemethods today!

We used phylogenetic compression (described in the thread) to compress every microbe ever sequenced onto a flash drive so that it can be searched with a laptop!

In fiscal year 2024, the report found, NIH awarded more than $36.9 billion to researchers, supporting more than 408,000 jobs and generating over $94.5 billion in new economic activity nationwide.

Zymogen activation is a ubiquitous strategy for regulating enzyme activity. In our @jbiolchem paper led by @HuiquanDuan, we show that blocking this fundamental process is used to inhibit the first proteolytic event of the classical #complement pathway 👇

@darbysaxbe No, the point is to suppress science, using protesters as an excuse. This action doesn't stop a bunch of undergraduates from doing whatever.

They could have targeted something else on campus, but there is a war on NIH, and this is a convenient excuse.

[Dr. Stephanie Shames @shames_lab]

@YMerbl @Nature @WeizmannScience @Sys_Immunology Beautiful paper and very exciting work!!! We also found a non-Ag presenting role for immunoproteasome subunits in cell-autonomous immunity but hadn’t considered AMPs! https://t.co/IjtqZGRLey

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Never before in our history has Canada been as united & patriotic. Millions of us are now doing the exact same thing when we wake up every morning - we check to see if “it” has finally happened. We’ll keep checking until that glorious day finally arrives.
🇨🇦🤟🏻😏

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

Donald Trump has called for MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow to resign due to her critical coverage of the administration. He continues to try and attack the free press - but we won’t let him win.

RETWEET if you stand with @Maddow against Trump!
