I wonder if not randomly selecting after applying a quality filter is actually leading to worse outcomes? It is a well known in stock markets that it is often better to just randomly drop money in than to try and time the market. Maybe th

Unfortunately the p-values that are significant are only nominally significant. If you do a null experiment enough times it will sometimes look significant - even a broken clock is wrong sometimes. This doesn’t mean the paper isn’t detectin

I guess this is good to know. But doesn’t fit well with my experience with it. I am getting the pop-up while living in a first world city. Google maps is allowed to use wifi to help find me. And the dot representing my location is invariabl

Has anyone else found google maps will turn your position icon into a pop up saying “accuracy: low, tap to improve”? It is the most obnoxious UI “feature” I’ve seen in maps (one of many I suppose). When you click on it, it wants you to take

The lipid vesicles part is pretty simple I think. You don’t need it to last a long time, just long enough to snort it up your nose. I am not sure about the XNAs. You might be able to get around it with increasing the dose (trivial if you ar

Thanks for this :) Probably the best thing about the culture of science is that ignorance is often answered with polite explanation. Many scientists I know expect their own ignorant comments to be answered the same way. It is much harder to

That would be a pretty damn useful vaccine for society. With a bit of luck and talent we might look back on these years as a turning point for how well we can suppress respiratory infection severity and spread.

Just to address this. There is no evidence anyone produced HIV in a lab and then released it, accidentally or not, out into the world. Scientists have established a pretty robust causal chain for where HIV came from. It is plausible that HI

Yep. In fact mRNA vaccines are almost trivially easy to produce. I know for a fact that many biology labs around the world bought the reagents needed to make homebrew mRNA vaccines in earl 2020. Just in case big pharma screwed up. It would

Something you could not fault E. O. Wilson for is his beautiful and eloquent writing. I absolutely love this rebuttal even if I hesitate to agree with all of it. As someone working in population genetics I feel our best argument against “sc

Oh, maybe it is context specific then. No one I know in Australia is really talking about variant vaccines yet so maybe our media is being a bit quiet about it. Late March is a long time away considering we are dealing with peak COVID now.

I think they are making these strain specific boosters. But it seems “they”* want to keep it quiet until they are ready to release them. My first through on this is that there is over-supply of the OG vaccine and it takes time to switch pro

This post and the four (4) comments suggesting alternate methods to do this are a pretty good indicator that pirating papers is still by far the easier method than going through official channels. I think it would be marginally quicker for

It looks like they have restrictions in place but no lockdowns. Maybe the biggest thing is that the borders are still partially closed to the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Israel#Pe...

Yep. Interesting article with interesting science. I don’t really buy it, but I love the idea and what they have done to explore it here. Anything about the origins of COVID is off-topic and a waste of time especially since this article is

It is routine for basically all papers in medicine research to be hosted on PMC. Often they host the entire article, not just the index and abstract. The reasons for this open access are complicated but boil down to certain rules from fundi

I can vouch for the audiobook of the biography. It is a lovely read, although I would have liked for it to be longer and have more detail. Some of the technical biology explanations could have been done better, so that could be a barrier to

The lawyers don't care unless it amounts to fair use. But since they are effectively selling the Olive Garden trademark without consent of the trademark owner they might be liable to getting sued.
