I got postdoc money from the Sacklers. So no sticks or stones from me, but science is rightfully getting a new wave of incoming re:Epstein. A good time for some much needed self-assessment about "where is the line?" Easy win: Avoid donors your staff calls Voldemort.

Having recently found that increasing the default font size on my phone was a dramatic quality of life improvement, placing an open call for recommendations like this for people who might be in denial of their aging husks. (Chatgpt didn't miss a beat).

KOSMOS, this week's buzzy AI scientist, posits that a coding mutation in a well-studied diabetes-related protein is functioning instead by mutated/cryptic exonic TFBS. Plausible, and totally fine to hypothesize; and word salad for an AI preprint is fine too. But horizon farther away than I thought.

For now, they are offering 75% off for academics and students. Just need to contact them. They should advertise this, but I suspect it goes away with too much publicity.

One side is clearly winning, but still feeling pretty grateful to those folks who are out there giving quotes. If you're a celebrity scientist with a big following who has gone oddly silent, I get it, but your silence is a bit deafening.

This study focuses on proper attribution of journalism but it does seem like they're getting (measurably?) better at science pub attribution. Anecdotally, Deepseek and Perplexity have been my favorites for this, but has there been a study?

If you're wondering if those NHEJ inhibitors are for you, seems like they're doing a great job here...

Truer words couldn't have been said about that first group meeting slide before diving in to the latest and greatest. But yes, also Severance.

Where my rabbit hole ended was this rather provocative correlation (fewer attempts at unionization, presumably gipper-related). Source (econfip.org/policy-brief...)

That we had a Noah Kahan lookalike contest at UVM makes me so happy. Clear heterogeneity in degree of effort applied.

Thinking it'd be cool to make Jeff Koons-style antibody sculptures as Christmas gifts, had Gemini generate some. Then a webapp called Rodin turns 2D images into 3D-printable STL files (green background). Very new to all this but we live in amazing times for late-night rabbit holes.

Aside from the amazing 10/12 TEM hit rate, the press release metaphor just writes itself.

Finding it harder to find papers post-Twitter. Has anyone explored use of Elicit or other AI research assistant (paper discoverers)? Would anyone feel comfortable sharing use cases or workflows?

Fun stuff. Addressable nanodroplets that, amazingly, do not mix.

"IL-17 expressed by TIM-4+ B cells not only enhances the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and promotes allograft rejection, but also acts in an autocrine manner to prevent their conversion into IL-10-expressing B cells with regulatory function"

"Here, we demonstrate that the lipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) expressed on germinal center (GC) B cells is essential for the production of high-affinity antibodies."
