Ralph Baric and Ian Lipkin in the NYT raising the alarm on a new Cell paper where Wuhan Institute of Virology scientists experiment on ANOTHER coronavirus that can infect humans under grossly inadequate biosafety precautions.
“could have significant risks for people worldwide.”
I love @paperpile, but it really needs an option to destructively remove all its links in a google doc #academicwriting
I just released version 0.9.7 of the #clustermq #rstats package: mschubert.github.io/clusterm…

Please check it out; feedback is welcome!
New paper out! 🚨🥳
We thought that passenger gene amplifications can drive cancer vulnerabilities and show that RBM14 does so via cGAS-STING modulation 👇
@veronica_rendo @BenDavidLab @RameenBeroukhim @Foijer_lab
So excited to see our paper describing the class of ARGOS genes in cancer out in @NatureComms! 🤩

This is the result of a giant effort led together with @_ms03, and executed under the mentorship of @BenDavidLab, @RameenBeroukhim, and @Foijer_lab.

I remain of the view that the disengagement of academics from this forum was a hugely self-defeating gesture. It scuttled what had been an unprecedented resource for academic communication and a valuable platform for public outreach.

"Quitting science", as if industrial research doesn't exist and/or there is shame in putting your *very* expensive degree to work in high level tech support, consultation, contract research, tutoring, entrepreneurship, etc, etc. Weird culty language to say leaving academia, tbh
Nearly 50% of researchers quit science within a decade, huge study reveals go.nature.com/3Y9H9a9

Our Review on “Aneuploidy as a driver of human cancer” is out in Nature Genetics. Check it out! 🎉
The Ben-David lab wishes everyone Shana Tova — may the new year be much better than the ending one, bringing peace and stability to all! 🙏

It's great to see my first paper of the PhD published in @NatureBiotech! go.nature.com/47ARizC. This describes our scRNA-seq method, scITD, for analyzing how the transcriptional states of multiple cell types are linked across patients. A few highlights from the paper:

Can cells adapt to aneuploidy? Our new study reveals that reducing chromosomal instability and inflammation is key to adaptation. Thanks for everyone that contributed! @_ms03 @marsotordlt @JonneRaaij @MedemaRene

Do Americans realize how much damage this whole "science is not neutral so we might as well use it for activism" thing does?
For only the second time in our 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is @KamalaHarris. | Editorial bit.ly/4daH36q

When dealing with a complex problem with many unknowns, humility is key. If you think you know what you're doing, you probably don't know what you're doing. Be aware of your own biases & weaknesses, and hedge your potential mistakes.
Don't be fooled by confidence -- it's often a mask for ignorance.

Premature abstraction is WAY more prevalent and worse than premature optimization and really handcuffs code bases for years and years.

Attention grant reviewers: power analysis is an exercise in box ticking that we can all do without.
