lol this photo was secretly taken of me today to make the point I have a “really consistent RBF” 😂

Maybe an unpopular opinion but IMO those who screenshot they’ve been blocked aren’t sending the signal they think. Blocking is invaluable functionality of this app. Sure we can spew snark — and others can block as they see fit, even if they’re a total douche or a monster. So you…

Stoked our phenotype-o-mat pub is out!! Take a look, comment on the pub, and if you’re interested in building/using one, attend our workshop to get some help!

I respectfully disagree with the article. I cannot think of a worse thing for the open science movement to become a consensus seeking juggernaut. It’s already a very insular space with the usual suspects and same ideas floating around for decades — it can be very difficult to get…

Sometimes when it’s too hard to figure out how to make everyone happy, you have to have two weddings and two wedding dresses (lessons: elope but still buy both dresses)

Still smiling from my conversation with Prachee Avasthi

Rare to find someone who can understand far reaching impact of biological mechanism. Exciting science ahead! 🔬🧬

We shouldn’t arrest students and professors, even if they insist on publishing in prestige journals

It’s hard to gauge how today’s Supreme Court case about emergency abortions will come out because the lawyer defending Idaho’s total ban was so smugly condescending toward the women justices that even Barrett (rightly) lost her patience with him. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Had a really fun convo with Soumendranath Bhakat today and it made me excited for the future of science. Keep an eye on him folks! Expecting great things

(1/6) When I got sick, I promised myself I would do all I can to accelerate finding cures for chronic conditions, so I’m beyond excited to be officially launching MetX, Metrodora Foundation's landmark study: metrodora.org/announcingmetx/

It’s not that I actively ignored your tweet reply, I just didn’t know you sent it because you’re muted

If we want nice things:

1) make use of new attempts at diversifying the process (rather than wait to see if an advancement we like catches on first —*someone* has to lead if others are to follow)

2) deprive the worst options of oxygen instead of just putting one foot in front…

What a badass 🔥

We're making changes to how we process (La)TeX on arXiv. Why we're doing it & what to expect - read more on the blog (also a chance to leave suggestions!): blog.arxiv.org/2024/04/18/maj…

We’re hosting a Biohybrid Therapeutic Devices Summit in New Orleans, May 16-17, to bring together key funders, stakeholders, scientists, regulatory authorities, patient engagement groups & the private sector to advance this field.

Many of my colleagues are into rewarding peer review because of incentives-centric thinking. The logic goes: if only we can turn *different* things into a self-serving game, we can get more things to happen that we want to happen. But the alternative to increasing the value of a…
