I enjoy reading anything science related to medical, social, psychological. I enjoy dark humor and dark chocolate. I enjoy learning and don’t have time for people who choose belief, options, or feelings over logic, facts, or science.

A figure from a scientific paper showing an agarose gel (dark grey background) with DNA bands (light grey horizontal stripes). It looks like four similar bar codes next to each other. Orange and cyan boxes - added by me - highlight parts of the bar codes that look identical.

A figure from a scientific paper showing three electron microscopy photos. They show round virus particles (light grey) on a dark grey background. Colored boxes - added by me - highlight virus particles that look identical.

Wow.

Big #ImageForensics concerns in this #Virology paper from researchers at @usask.bsky.social in Canada, published in MDPI Viruses.

Findings by 'Anthemis tripolitana' and me.

This is very bad.

When I gave my Vaccines lecture (for a Virology course) last week I was literally breathless. I started from first principles and walked through examples and have rarely been as animated and raw in my presentation style.
