I'm talking about at the PI level. And yes of course a few people don't work hard, but the overwhelming majority do not differentiate themselves by how hard they work, is the point I'm trying to make. Your average PI has the

Everyone in science works hard. Only a few get lucky. People get scooped every day. Source: spent years looking hard for hibernation promotion factor in P. aeruginosa ribosomes via cryo-EM. Got a PhD and worked a whole lot of 16 hour days.

I'm all for it. People get lucky, then try to rationalize the past with a skill narrative. Then they soak up all the grants.

This struck me as pretty obvious at the time. If the people have endowed the state with the authority to act on an issue, the state should act in an official manner. Otherwise, they should not act at all.

I'm using a Dell S2716DG which is a 27" 1440p TN panel at 120 Hz. As far as I'm aware, there were only ever a few 1440p models that got 3D Vision (officially). I've tried running 3D Vision on an OLED ultrawide I have, an

I still routinely use Nvidia 3D vision to build protein structures into electron density maps. Nvidia hasn't updated the driver in generations, and no new compatible displays or parts have been made in eons, but it's an invaluable

I'm a structural biologist and I work at an AI pharmaceutical company. Even we still publish. We publish both methodologies in peer reviewed journals, and patents.

I saw the AI comment before I saw this, incredible how it's 1/8th cup in both. Is it really just regurgitating Reddit?

The virologists I know are much more concerned about this than they were about covid. I guess it's presenting neurological symptoms in bears/small mammals. Last fall there was a rash of small mammals showing rabies signs, that wer

We can't (currently) cut them out because there's too many cells and they're brain cells. But if we could make complementary RNA, that could potentially neutralize them.

I wouldn't worry about that. I've poured hundreds of gels and added the EtBr to it after microwaving it every single time. Never had anything close to that happen. Just use a sufficiently concentrated EtBr stock and you're ad

I appreciated this article. These analogies always fall apart at some point (and the article points this out) because these are complex processes, but I appreciate these attempts to turn biology into a human problem, because at the very lea

You are supposed to be far enough behind the vehicle in front of you that you have enough time to stop. Assuming something about what other vehicles will do is a great way to get into an accidents. There are a lot of humans that don't

Maybe I'm just in a super niche field, but the citations would make it super obvious imo.

Multiple factors at play here. 1) Rubrics are often defined, but the application of the rubric is by a human. Application will shift as the grader gets a sense of the classes understanding. 2) As you get fatigued while grading, you'll

I can see that. Without knowledge of cellular level biology, sponges appear to be plants or fungi.
