It’s particularly impressive when scientists develop powerful methods with more accessible “workhouse”equipment.

Such methods are more likely to become widely used and advance research.

Our lives are only possible because of synergistic, often altruistic, collaborations among trillions of cells making our bodies and devoted to our wellbeing.

Imagine the world if all humans followed the example of our cells.

Using the best existing technology is good when possible, but it is not essential for great research.

The methods must support the conclusions, but they need not use the latest technology.

PS. I recently interacted with a reviewer who believed that an article should be rejected…

People can use their intelligence to overcome such traps.

'I am too smart for my own good' never resonated with me.

I should be able to use whatever intelligence I have to achieve my objectives: nikolai.slavovlab.net/Resourcefulness

Be generous.

Be kind.

Recently, I have been surprised by omissions to include essential information in the abstracts of articles appearing in 'top' journals.

Such omissions are disappointing.

AI is proposed to serve as a compress <> decompress tool.
- To expand short descriptions and summarize long ones.

It's interesting to think about the information gain & loss during this cycle.

Do you see this cycle helping you ?

This award helped catalyze a change in the thinking of what is possible.

8 months after the NIH notice of award, admin continues the hard work of transferring a sub-award.
There is nothing special about it; it's just a continuation of a project with multiple previous sub awards.

Such delays paralyze research.

They discourage collaborations.
