I think we can do it in about 32 months?

It's time for me to hire someone so we can determine the origin of life in the universe together. Is that of interest to anybody

taken for granted. My hope is that you continue to have these fonts of joy and meaning all the days of your life. And every line of code you write with your eye tracker is a contribution to humankind's struggle to overcome disease and suffering.

I am glad I stumbled on your thread. Yours is a name I knew only from the impact your work has had on science, and I am grateful for your sharing. I recently lost a friend who passed away 16 years after his ALS diagnosis. Bathing him and helping him eat, showed me there were so many things I had

This unforgettable line from a papillomavirus talk at ASV many years ago remains lodged in my brain:

"When two college students come into contact, one never knows which epithelia will be implicated."

we’re going to destroy humanity,” and now he is allegedly going to get handed a $10 billion stake in OpenAI because he’s going around saying “oh no, nobody should give me equity, that’s ludicrous.” '
Good to see Anthropic joining the business negging arena ;)

Matt Levine calls this "business negging."
'Nobody in history has ever been better at, like, business negging than Sam Altman. He got OpenAI to a $150 billion valuation in part by going around saying “oh no, nobody should allow us to build our product,

We had a cure for hemophilia A, until today.
This feels so strange to say, or to contemplate: that we can un-cure a disease because of collective disinterest.

I think I remember mine updating to Council Review Completed for a while before anything concrete actually happened. In a normal year you will get Council Review Completed after review for a long time before you get NoA or no NoA because IC hasn't processed the award or maybe is waiting for funds

1. Greenland has universal healthcare
2. If we take country, we get whatever that country has
3. Therefore, if we take Greenland, we get universal healthcare
I believe that was the train of logic supporting the Venezuela incursion, in any case.

dicing up some grubs for old-fashioned diagnostic virology

At what resolution in cryo-EM do you see clear holes in aromatics? I see in some X-ray crystallography literature people are saying 1.6Å, but in cryo they seem quite visible at lower resolutions than this.

Employee directory lists them as "non-government," so they may not actually be "working for" NIH OD.

life achievement: replaced my chainsaw chain for the first time

The description of this system (and even many of the specific details) was terrifyingly familiar to me in NJ. I traipse through too many stories like this as a co-director of our local interfaith shelter. The enormity of the "wrongness" of it is difficult to sit with.

I live near Great Swamp but my first visit was underwhelming compared to nearby spots. Any recommendations of how to best experience it?

DOGE is going to part the Red Sea with AI

She couldn't resist the opportunity to explicitly say she's punishing Harvard for hiring former elected or appointed Democrats. This level of explicitly partisan score-settling is wrong and un-American.

I know I haven't been active on here much lately but...I am hiring a core facility postdoc to own the Krios, do a lot of cryoET jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/249...

this is in question

I know one Nobel laureate who wrote a novel that could fairly be described in this way but I think Narbonic was definitely funnier

I was thinking to myself "what were the best years so far for USA? maybe 1998 and 2014?"
This leads to my new hypothesis (nonserious) that the best years are going to be an inflection point in the median income (PPP-adjusted) with positive first derivative.

seems like you stole this from Twitter...used to be somebody's pinned in another time long long ago...

Trafficking studies that rely on following virus microinjected into the cytoplasm aren't valid if the virus in native cells would be inside a membranous organelle.

and yet New Jersey doesn't have a DMV: for the last 20+ years we've instead had a Motor Vehicles Commission (MVC)

exactly, so if the media is expired you will need to add more glutamine

well, it definitely will need glutamine supplementation

afaik Wolfson's chapter organized or participated in 3 protests against Trump's policies last month with 1 scheduled next week but not this Gaza action.

foiled!
