While changing requirements are outside of your control, clearly the consequences affect you, however unfairly. It's a skill to predict what might change and which parts of the project could end up being wasted time, and you will devel

Yeah increasingly scientists have to pay. It has become the 'principled' thing to make the publishers richer in the name of open access. Sometimes there are waivers for researchers from developing countries. Unfortunately funding

Yet depending on the use case, a bad map may be worse than no map at all.

That's true, but that's a bar for an extremely crude instrument.

I wanted to get a dose of his recent thinking outside of that podcast and this article and just listened to Joe Rogan pod #1267 (2019) when driving the past couple days, it is a debate with Taubes and Guyunet, a neurologist and former Taube

Well, yes. Wuhan is the largest city in central China which is why there is a large science lab there, and one that studies viruses in bats in caves in the sand province. But that's the same reason- that it is a large urban hub for the

How could you spend the several minutes to type that comment when it could have been used to crusade against future lab leaks instead of preemptively denigrating hypothetical anti lab leak comments?

Honestly, I am starting to think the open source movement has done as much harm as the subscription model to the scientific information ecosystem. The incentives are so high now to get volume published in pay to publish journals, leading to

First manuscript in my PhD I just hand-typed the bibliography. But when you get to a few hundred in a document and over 1000 relevant to your work that you want to keep track of, ah and when you need to resubmit manuscripts with a different

My comment was not just with regards to the facts of the subject but the way of thinking epistemologically about hypotheses in science, because he literally spends the first hour talking about how brilliant physicists could get it so wrong

Taubes interview on Peter Attia's podcast is fascinating. He starts by laying out his career in journalism bringing light to scientific malpractice and otherwise very sharp minds totally deluding themselves when they get stuck on a pet

Generally the oxygen minimum zones aren't extending up into the photic layer near the surface which does support a fair amount of life.

No because there isn't evidence myocarditis occurs due to the vaccine acting systemically and getting uptaken by cardiac tissue.

Nothing appears to be amiss with the Khan preprint, it just doesn't support claims being made.

I don't think I'm misrepresenting them even if I paraphrased. The vaccine doesn't saturate the body, and there's no evidence the heart is subject to these side effects due to lipid vesicles being uptaken from circulation

Well, yes, the spike protein induces an immune response. That's the entire purpose of using it as an antigen in a vaccine. If you don't see the daylight between that and your original claim that 'saturating the body with spik

What do you mean by 'side effects' of infectious disease excluding morbidity? Positive side effects of infection?

You are asking when in history we vaccinated to prevent infectious disease induced morbidity?

There are large CIs around the mean increase with Pfizer booster, but the mean doesn't fall into the confidence interval for second dose Moderna. Does not appear to be tracking as commensurate.

The fact the CDC recognizes myocarditis results from infection of vaccination does not support your claim that it is a direct result of "spike protein saturating the body". It is an immune response, not a direct effect of the pr
