a remarkably effective life hack: just be nice to people it's incredible how much goodwill people will extend to you if you're pleasant to them

Lots of excellent advice in this piece. The core message - only through writing do you really think and order your thoughts into logical sense. Makes a case for not using AI for 1st draft because you bypass the thinking step www.nature.com/articles/s41... @naturebiotech.bsky.social #PlantScience

Thrilled to share one of our biggest discoveries: “Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in beta cells”. doi.org/10.1038/s422... A tremendous collaborative effort led by JohannaSiehler, Sara Bilekova and other members of the Lickert lab @heikolickert.bsky.social

Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in β cells - Nature Metabolism
The insulin inhibitory receptor (inceptor) is found to bind to insulin and to regulate insulin stores by directing proinsulin and insulin towards lysosomal degradation.

How long does an mRNA stay in the nucleus? How long does it stay in the cytoplasm? In an amazing collaboration with @landthalerm.bsky.social, we used metabolic labeling, cell fractionation and mathematical modeling to quantify mRNA flow through the cell. Finally out in MSB: doi.org/10.1038/s443...

I can’t even fathom how clueless a person would need to be to say this out loud. Open any history book, any corporate lawsuit and see how far you can trust humans in the face of greed. And *especially* institutions where people are “just doing their job”.
Tweet from Yann LeCun, which says “AI is not some sort of natural phenomenon that we have no control over. AI is being built by us, humans. Hence, if you’re scared of AI, what you were actually scared of are your fellow humans. You probably have doubts about the ability of institutions to do the right things with it. Why?”
