   As a biologist I would argue that we also cannot dwell too much on p values. The true test is to design follow up experiments to test causal predictions from many of these borderline p value phenomena, for example: analyzing microarrays dat

   This is indeed the scenario in drug development. Academic research can only take it so far. Someone then has to assume financial risk and bring academic findings to the clinic.

   There are probably other loci that provide selective advantage to, in this case, higher altitudes. Without having a rolodex of those, it would be a challenge/highly unlikely to predict phenotypic advantage.

   @tokenadult The irony of this is not lost on me, because you quote a non-peer reviewed blog post to justify non-peer review blog posts over peer reviewed articles.

   Not to mention the app UIs change every week. For example yesterday they added smileys to Skitch. It is utterly frustrating that every time I open the Evernote app or Skitch app to use it, the button I am looking for has disappeared and ano

    Prismatic is the only app/website that claims to be relevant and actually finds relevant, fresh content. I don't know how, but it does work damn well.

    The Rockefeller Smell Study aims to map the genetic basis of some of these psychophysical differences. http://vosshall.rockefeller.edu/smellstudy They have already mapped one such genomic locus that changes perception of an

    When some established researcher say "this is impossible", that's a great experiment to do. Examples: controlled release polymers, iPS cells, neurogenetics. "Someone saying a thing cannot be done is liable to be interrup

    I believe keyboard shortcuts are synchronized between iOS and Mac. This alone is worth an upgrade for me, given I have almost a hundred shortcuts on my phone and have to retype them into DashExpander every time I make a new one.
