@mlb.com thinking “what is an efficient way to lose the most fans in one fell swoop?” Absolutely disgusting that MLB would propose to defile one of our national parks just to make some more money.

I’ll leave it to others to consider the attractiveness part, but Margo Martindale is one of the best character actors there is, male or female

Writing into the online form has been a thing for a while now, but was definitely glitchy when I used it. I recommend drafting offline then cutting and pasting into the web form. It can time you out without saving, so be careful. And thanks for reviewing.

The issue is that figure legends often don’t say things like “panel a is a violin plot. The x-axis represents…”. More likely, it’s just “(a) cell survival with the three drugs; drug 1, blue; drug 2, red….” Even so, most journals let you just use the alt text to direct to the legend.

I like how every scientist is expected to be experienced in every model and technique. And that model systems are only valuable if they mirror human biology. Because I guess that is now the only way knowledge advances now.

Congratulations! Which of your books would you recommend to someone who has never read your work? It could be your favorite (for whatever reason), the one you think contains your best writing, or the one that is most “you.”

And I found it weird that she never pitch her book in that essay. I understand the goal was to share her expensively earned insights about getting her book noticed. But wouldn’t it make sense to take advantage of these eyeballs to actually tell readers about her actual book?

I drove a manual for most of my adult life (various car types). It was so fun on curvy roads, though it got old in commuter traffic. Plus, resale values were lower. Switching to an EV definitely put the nail in the coffin, though.

I’m excited to announce the UVA Center for Smell and Taste Disorders will be leading (in partnership w/ JHU and MUSC) a new NIH-supported clinical trial to investigate the ability of olfactory training to restore post-viral smell loss (anosmia). Enrollment begins later this year; details to come.

I absolutely agree with Pulte being completely wrong for DNI (in so, so many ways there are not enough words). But he heads Freddie May/Fannie Mac, not HUD. So, not even a Cabinet member. And he will keep the other job, as I guess national intelligence is a part-time gig.

How animals sense Earth’s magnetic field is one of biology’s enduring mysteries. Researchers have now identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons (Columba livia) to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation.

No ICCU issues on my ‘22 Ioniq 5 (though did have the update via recall). Had one issue with the charging port (it thought it was overheating), but that was a software fix. Other than that, it has been fantastic.
