Oops. Yes. What I meant to say was that US granting agencies often require published results to be catalogued through PubMed. Not that PubMed only catalogues US-based research.

It depends on the country but an approximation for US biomedical research is https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ although that's only journal-published information.

I think a common misunderstanding in this thread, and something not explained in the article, is the difference between internal accounting of animals and publication-level. Labs track animal usage internally in the way you mention, and typ

This is the most spot on comment. This is field- and technique- specific, but animals approved in a grant and animals that end up in the paper are, in my experience, extremely unlikely to be the same number. Even in an experienced lab with

I'd say it's more useful to think of these as a 3 point cycle. Each leads to the other, and if any one gets perturbed out of control it will cause the other two to go south. The cause and effect is not linear but interactive. Then

I'm not as critical of these goals as some, but to not even mention another dimension of complexity beyond connections: electrophysiological firing pattern, is quite an oversimplification.

This is common for most people, at least in the beginning. This is the nature of creative projects because it's just always going to be easier to think of an idea than execute it. 1) you have to recognize that the dopamine rush of new

I would expect that if there was a valid debate to be had she would also have peer reviewed papers published on the topic. Skimming https://www.brown.edu/research/projects/oster/ I haven't found any rela

Thank you for pointing this out. Public health advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics is different than 1 person's lifetime of probabilistic events.

In many cases there are multiple avenues for application, but this paper says the research was specifically funded by the National Institute of Health, which means the PR focus will be toward human health/disease.

Could someone explain how one can use the FFT in an algorithm for multiplication? I guess I would understand if I understood what FFT actually does 'under the hood', but I assumed fft itself required multiplication.

Can you give an example of beauty (or assumed beauty I guess) just being oversimplification?

What I didn't see mentioned in the article is the 3rd possibility: that the population will grow but eventually reach a stable plateau. I don't know the number (<12 bil maybe) but this was argued by Hans Rosling. Can any demogr

When discussing abstract computations the way I interpret it is that the level of biology doesn't matter. A single cell has countless moving parts, which can be interpreted as a network of discrete computations. The biology matters for

I used to feel the same way, but I think there's some value in simplifying or making scientific ideas more attractive. The avg tax payer is not interested in obscurity for the sake of accuracy. This is a flaw of the human mind, but som

I was unclear. My comment was just a tongue in cheek way of saying: it's not odd that we don't have much electrophysiological knowledge of single human neurons because of the practical and ethical problems that come with brain sli
