The postdoc may end, but the bitterness lasts a lifetime. Developing next generation gene therapy vectors to combat aging and complex disease.

@FrankieDHeyward I shouldn't be surprised, but who are we talking about here?

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@samjlord @mbeisen I was going to do this in my last paper, but thankfully a statistician stopped me. The concept of statistical independence is not clearly defined for biologists at all.

Honestly, these songs are pretty great, if your kid is into trucks (and what kid isn't).

@antonioregalado My guesses:
Series B: 1.6 mil
Series A: 800k
Seed: 75k

@TMGFlorida Don't think you know what a buzzword is, if you think "racist" and "fascist" are examples of one.

@AlekseyVBelikov @mkaeberlein What's behind that age-acceleration is probably the immune surveillance of cancer falling apart, rather than, say, the rate of oncogenic mutations really taking off. But the effect is the same (slowing aging=fewer cancers).

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@AlekseyVBelikov @mkaeberlein you sure?

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@Atlassian2020 @mkaeberlein Potentially. But more likely, at least in the near term, you'd be compressing the window of morbidity (chronic disease) and having more people die of things currently defined as "sudden unexpected death", which tend to be various types of ruptures in the circulatory system.

@BrundoCoban @mkaeberlein Tell that to a bridge.

The root cause of aging is the passage of time. But the damage caused by the process isn't irreparable.

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@mbeisen Because neutral good is better, if all you care about is doing good. Chaotic good constrains the options you have for doing good, and needlessly puts you at odds with social orders.

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@JoePostingg Also the generalizing of "mental health problems" to be just "any situation I feel unprepared to handle".

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@statesdj @OmicsOmicsBlog @antonioregalado Except for men under 40, apparently. Although it's such as small delta, you could really only detect it with the millions and millions of vaccinated patient records they have access to. So I'm not sure what they wanted public health officials to do.

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@kevinnbass @mgpolitis Pay closer attention to the numbers in that study. The only reason they can suss out any interaction at all is because they had literally tens of millions of patients ( of which 2000 contracted myocarditis). There is no way to detect that low level of risk in trial.

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@jasongesser @StephenKing That just means it's not a first amendment issue. It's still wildly hypocritical, capricious and arbitrary.

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@100CIA_Medica @OdedRechavi I think the point is that it is a lot more work, and possibly a predatory arrangement, that the postdoc might have stumbled into unknowingly.

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@vectorgen @mbeisen It's kind of ridiculous that universities *don't* pay their own employees in the first place. Grants should be for regents and equipment. Full salaries shouldn't be routinely paid off non-training grant mechanisms.

[Zenobiotic @zenobiotic]

@mbeisen People have been pointing out this inevitable issue for 30 f-ing years and now they have the gall to act like its a suprise.
