I saw a group post this and have to say that it is amazing.
OpenAI announces ChatGPT is now at the level of real scientific reviewers, “It just tells you to do single-cell RNAseq in response to every query” says Sam Altman
It is impossible to imagine Eisenhower saying he would fight “without mercy” even against the Nazis; nor would he have reveled in the thought of death and destruction.
He would have regarded it not only as deeply un-American but also beneath his dignity as a serious career soldier.
To simulate an asteroid impact in the lab, researchers put bacterial cells on a membrane and shot them with a gas-fired projectile that struck the microbes at up to 480 kilometers per hour. The bacteria largely shrugged off the cataclysm. Cool story by @jakebuehler.bsky.social at @science.org

We live in a bizarre world where longevity influencers tell millions to take rapamycin, sit in hyperbaric oxygen chambers, blast themselves with red light therapy, and take 50+ supplements daily. Meanwhile something that cuts dementia risk by 20% Is invisible.

I am an Epic Chat conscientious objector (ICU, not ID) for 2 reasons. 1- It is a constant interruption. 2- Communication (big C) is important and Epic Chat is usually low quality (little c) communication. If someone needs to talk to the ICU there are many ways and Epic Chat is not the right one.
Don't give up!
On the one hand, I think it's great that someone mapped Bluesky users. On the other hand, I'm a bitworried that I map at some kind of Lagrange point between "Biomedical Research Scientists" (totally makes sense) and..."Brazilian Young Adults on Bluesky". Where's the cycling group?

I like my thylakoids the way I like my pancakes:
Stacked so densly it causes iridescence and apprears blue when lit at the right angle.
Honestly. There is no easy fix to <waves in GenX> alla this. But a starting place could be to address the CRIME of Citizens United. Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. And the place we're in right now? Owes a LOT to those two things being perverted by Citizens United.
We've got ISSUES. Literally.
We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

How does SARS-CoV-2 infection lead to dysregulation of the immune system in severe and #LongCovid?

There must be an ICU snack that treats the headaches.
Spicy kimchi on baked potato.
As with Shakespeare, I always found myself coming out of a Stoppard play feeling more intelligent than when I went in.
A display of cheeses. Two in the front are vaguely torus shaped, sliced in half so you can see the shape, like a bagel cut in half to make two u-shapes. They look like drawings of the disk of matter around a black hole, narrow in the middle and flared on the outside.
For the astronomers: I found an accretion disk diagram cheese. A quesar.
A screen shot of the antibiotic personality quiz
It’s World AMR Awareness Week, and this year I had the honor to re-imagine and doodle the antibiotics in the antibiotic personality quiz 😇🖍️
Thank u @brxad.bsky.social for this amazing and fun opportunity!
C’mon, take the quiz, it’s a #WAAW tradition 😉💊

My residency director used to say never have more than 2 if you're on call.
It is not often that a new flow cytometry protocol makes the newspaper! I also got a kick out of seeing our science tagged as "quirky"!

Nature suggests you use their "Manuscript Adviser" bot to get advice before submitting
I uploaded the classic Watson & Crick paper about DNA structure, and the Adviser had this to say about one of the greatest paper endings of the century:

An alien fleet appeared in Earth's orbit, and broadcast a message:
"Having studied you furtively, we now seek formal contact, and want to meet your greatest thinkers..."
A long list followed.
"How do we tell them?" world leaders wondered.
Topping the list were the names Calvin and Calvin's Dad.
Vital AF is the MICU vibe.
- calendar makes no sense
- half the riders and half the teams in most races don't influence the outcome
- Giro and Vuelta should be 2 weeks
Researchers in #ScienceSignaling have mapped out the genetic and proteomic effects of a protein named MYC that is intimately linked to cancer growth—a discovery that could lead to new therapies aimed at this “undruggable” target. https://scim.ag/4nuQB1R
For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?
