Un diputado israelí es expulsado a la fuerza del Parlamento por denunciar el genocidio en Gaza Ofer Cassif protesta tras su expulsión este lunes de la tribuna de la Knéset tras citar las palabras del escritor David Grossman en las que denuncia el genocidio en Gaza

El diputado israelí Ofer Cassif fue expulsado este lunes de la tribuna de la Knéset tras citar las palabras del escritor David Grossman en las que denuncia el genocidio en Gaza.

"¡No dirá genocidio aquí", gritó la diputada del Likud, Tali Gottlieb

Fue embalsamado y puesto directamente en el mausoleo, donde se dieron las condiciones de frío y sequedad para que se modificara, manteniendo la forma.

EXCLUSIVE: Over 430 Dundee University staff apply for redundancy Dundee University revealed it had exceeded its target of 300 applications for voluntary severance, with the first staff likely to leave by August 31.

Very, very difficult times at Dundee University. Thoughts with all involved. None of this should ever have happened. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

More seriously: they're tapping into something else - whose "genius" gets recognized.
Every woman has had the experience of saying something, it being ignored and then a man saying it and that same thing being celebrated.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

The Carbon Footprint of Bioinformatics Abstract. Bioinformatic research relies on large-scale computational infrastructures which have a nonzero carbon footprint but so far, no study has quantif

It's actually surprising to me despite our recent work on deep learning for polygenic scores reaching similar conclusions (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

... and sadly it feels like our 2022 work on carbon footprints in bioinformatics may need to be updated 😐 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Beeswarm plot of the prediction error across different methods of double perturbations showing that all methods (scGPT, scFoundation, UCE, scBERT, Geneformer, GEARS, and CPA) perform worse than the additive baseline.

Line plot of the true positive rate against the false discovery proportion showing that none of the methods is better at finding non additive interactions than simply predicting no change.

Our paper benchmarking foundation models for perturbation effect prediction is finally published 🎉🥳🎉

We show that none of the available* models outperform simple linear baselines. Since the original preprint, we added more methods, metrics, and prettier figures!

A light Sunday read for those interested in how genetics can inform drug development: from target selection to prioritizing indications, informing repurposing strategies, optimizing trial design & detecting safety signals

Scientists Found Sticky Goo Inside a 2,500-Year-Old Jar. Seventy Years Later, They Finally Know What It Is By studying the mysterious substance's chemical makeup, scientists determined the pot was once full of honey

It's reassuring to know that letting your beverages dry out in your workplace coffee mugs and turning them into disgusting gobs of sticky goo is an ancient and time-honored practice.

Was this written by a C. elegans researcher?

Photo of the Day.

Israel threatened reprisals if the press filmed Gaza from above during airdrops.

This is why. A scene of destroyed & burnt out buildings in what is left of Gaza City, the pre-war home to 800,000 people.

There weren’t podcasts, but there were shock-jocks, Maxim, and older brothers, cousins, and even coaches teaching young men how to wear girls down. There’s never NOT been a manosphere. Anyone telling you otherwise either didn’t experience the 90’s or needs to look hard at their own past experiences.

"As organisms age, protein abundance is less closely coupled to transcript abundance"

Pretty cool paper that goes to the top of of pile to read.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Concentrate research and teaching in an area many academics and students can't afford to live? Excellent plan.

Continuing to monitor academic jobs pages (as you do), and the big players on p. 1 of History and allied subjects? Oxford 7 jobs, Cambridge 5, LSE 2, KCL 2. Clear we're witnessing a major policy intervention to concentrate research and teaching in South-East England. www.jobs.ac.uk/search/histo...

a man in a blue shirt and tie is pointing at a bulletin board with a lot of papers on it . Alt: gif from time TV show "It's always Sunny in Philadelphia" with Charlie in a shirt and tie is pointing at a bulletin board with a lot of papers on it connected with strings as explaining a complicated compiracy theory

Look, I was told at university there was some logic there*...

*too hard, moved to human genetics so I would keep some sanity.

I feel it's no coincidence that a mammogram machine is exceptionally uncomfortable among medical devices, and is a test that's hardly ever experienced by men.

So many small changes could make it more comfortable (rounded platform corners, gel padded edges, heater, something to lean on) but no...😩

Every time I see this book in the library, I imagine Darwin saying “draw me like one of your French girls”

MEN AND BOYS! REVOLUTION BEGINS IN THE SINK! ONLY WHEN MEN TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SHARE OF THE COOKING, THE CLEANING AND THE WASHING UP... ONLY THEN CAN THEY JOIN WITH WOMEN, AND TOGETHER BUILD A NEW WORLD!!!

end the male lonliness epidemic with this one weird trick!

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no
