One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. β€œStg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

why, when someone wishes to emphasize a statement by repeating it, do they need to say in between the first and second utterance "I repeat"? Upon repetition we clearly understand that it was said again and that we're not having a mental episode....

@chopkinslegaspi.bsky.social potentially destructive article as @anamariecox.bsky.social points out. But I understand the well-meant motivation to write it. The answer is always no.

Photo listing the names of the victims of the Polytechnique MontrΓ©al massacre.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique MontrΓ©al 36 years ago.

Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence β€” and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Brahma safeguards canalization of cardiac mesoderm differentiation - PubMed Differentiation proceeds along a continuum of increasingly fate-restricted intermediates, referred to as canalization<sup>1,2</sup>. Canalization is essential for stabilizing cell fate, but the mechanisms that underlie robust canalization are unclear. Here we show that the BRG1/BRM-associated factor …

would love to know how this fits with our (actually @jsauce7.bsky.social from our data) mathematical interpretation of differentiation as saddle-node bifurcations rather than pitchfork cascades pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35082446/

A Threat to Evidence-Based Vaccine Policy and Public Health Security at the FDA | NEJM Twelve former commissioners of the FDA express concern that the agency’s recent moves will undermine a regulatory model designed to ensure vaccine safety, effectiveness, and availability.

This is extraordinary. Prasad's memo was something else, but to have 12 former FDA commissioners get together so quickly and say what a threat it is...just wow. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... #medsky #vaccine #fda
