WANTED: Suggestions of field ecology/animal behavior papers that have just super great "Methods" sections. Everything is clearly explained and anyone could replicate it just from reading that section. Self-nominations are fine. (Using this for my "marine biology field research methods" course) 🧪🌎🦑

Let's talk about one of the most interesting questions in cancer biology: Why don't WHALES get MORE CANCER? This question is also called "Peto's Paradox" for epidemiologist Sir Richard Peto, who demonstrated the link between smoking and lung cancer, 1951. So why whales, in particular?

I am still blown away Metagenomic assembly is possible. A MAG or ‘Metagenome assembled genome’ is represents the total genomic information of an environmental system… the code of a whole ecosystem…

In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.

I love this video so much! Do a lot of work with multi-omics driven precision medicine… … and it is really as if there was a whole hidden world/economy down there in each tumor. Understanding the metabolic ‘economics’ will give us incredible tools to fight them.

…when the nutrients are bound to the plankton that fall down to the ocean floor. Some scientists even think that by artificially creating ‘synthetic whale waste’ we may be able to drive the pump faster and make a major dent in carbon processing. This must be done with data driven precision tho…

Doing some work this week modeling the metagenomics of the “Whale Carbon pump”. Whales process an enormous amount of nutrients, and there is an entire planktonic web of live based on processing their organic output. The carbon processing potential of this ‘whale pump’ is enormous…

So cool and thanks for sharing. Am working with a great clinic at Stanford applying these kind of tools to oncology, and although you can’t over emphasize the critical importance of QA/validation/testing… …believe we’ll increasingly see massive clinical impact from AI.

Amazing coverage of an amazing paper! ‘Cap-stone’ species like sharks often have hard to predict 2nd and 3rd order benefits on ecosystems… …so the potential impact on the reefs here is of enormous concern to me.

Science Stanley @sciencestanley.bsky.social · 03/07/2023

This is very concerning! Have done some in-silico gain of function modeling for this virus… …and it really struggles to bind to the mammalian Salic acid site… so this is hopefully a ‘fluke’ and not gained mammal to mammal transmission function.
