And here’s another thread about perfection!

The world doesn’t actually WANT perfection from you

demand for perfection is a cudgel used by people in power to control you, to keep you feeling small, to keep you easy to manipulate

Remember that. As they yell at fat generals

Hey, if you are actively coughing and sniffing at a conference, WEAR A DAMNED MASK.

We need to start having policies at meetings to hand out masks and enforce their wearing to limit infectious disease spread.

New paper! Kudos to first author Jaeeun Lee, who is a fantastic and hard working student. We showed that at photoreceptor presynapses, ELFN1 enrichment depends on postsynaptic mGluR6.

Tribute to eye treatment pioneer Professor Pete Coffey UCL colleagues have paid tribute to world-leading eye researcher Professor Pete Coffey, who pioneered a treatment enabling people whose vision had been destroyed by disease to see again.

Drosophila Genetic Database The Drosophila Genetic Database, FlyBase, is on the brink of collapse due to the sudden termination of the FlyBase NIH grant, which includes salaries for 5 literature curators based at the University ...

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of allβ€”there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.

A selection from my student's reflection paragraph where they say they didn't use AI at all because they were too afraid of accidentally plagiarizing even though there was plenty of guidance provided on how not to plagiarize

A selection from my student's reflection paragraph where they say they didn't use AI at all because they were too afraid of accidentally plagiarizing even though there was plenty of guidance provided on how not to plagiarize

So far the most effective way I've found to get students to not use ChatGPT is to say, "you can use it if you want to; if you do, here is the list of things you should do to make sure that it doesn't embarrass you" & then have them write a reflection about their choice

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Collecting my thoughts at the end of one of the worst days of my life...

At NIH, > 1300 people were RIFed. These range all across the board from institute directors to low level administrative staff.

Communication staff and procurement appear to be hardest hit as anticipated from the HHS plan

Inside the Collapse at NIH Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

By @katherinejwu.com

"The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in β€œnearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,”

The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:
