I'm not referring to any particular tool. I'm referring to how scientists are presenting their science and that of others. It's getting so bad that it's impossible for any non-domain expert to believe anything anyone claims. This is extremely troubling for credibility of science.

Excellent example of the core issue I was trying to get at wrt "virtual cells" - optimizing a prediction objective will not necessarily provide an accurate representation of physical or biological phenomena. It's extremely important to be very clear about this. 1/

NYC's public college system paid Oracle ~$600M to build our course management portal. It's built on top of Oracle's PeopleSoft suite, which they refused to customize without an extra $400M (to hit $1B).
New Yorkers got the image below and pay $5M+ / year for *hosting*.

Fascinating study @NatureComms from @RohacsTibor showing that phosphatidic acid can regulate PIEZO2, the mechanosensitive ion channel — and so glad to see yet another application “in the wild” of optoPLD, @ReikaTei’s optogenetic membrane editor for phosphatidic acid! #lipidtime
I always had a hunch that phosphatidic acid regulates ion channel function. This paper from @RohacsTibor and colleagues shows this nicely.

Tried to express and purify your own Tn5 transposase only to run into stability or activity issues? Our new @biorxiv preprint describes OpenTn5: a robust, high-yield protocol for producing a stable pG-Tn5 transposase fusion. Spearheaded by @Jan_Soro.

We posted a new preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…). We've been thinking about how to characterize TF function. One challenge is that function and occupancy are difficult to disentangle. We use a simple model and a simple system to test how promoter features change function.

I am beyond proud of our McGill iGEM team, who won the Grand Prize, Best Therapeutics Project, Best Part Collection and Best Presentation Special Prizes in the undergrad category of #iGEM2023 competition. Well done all! Together, we can do it!

McGill:
Through their project “Proteus”, they created a modular system of chimeric fusion proteins that kills cancerous cells while sparing healthy cells that could expand the treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients.

Please check up on folks around you. Most folks around who read the news are struggling but some people are ‘really’ struggling. Be the obnoxious boss or colleague who does not take “fine!” for an answer. Dig deeper. Keep Kleenex handy. – at Morrisville, NC

Super fun to be featured along with my @uvmvermont @UVMLarnerMed colleagues (@poisondartfrog7 , @jwocro , and Jason Botten) on the most recent episode of TWiV (#1055) with the one and only @profvrr : microbe.tv/twiv/

Mahishasuramardini" marks the commencement of Debi Pokhkho, the period when it is believed goddess Durga descends from Kailash to visit her parental home on earth. The story of how this magnum opus was brought to life, amidst debate and hate mails, is no less interesting. 1/22
