The answer is obvious, nitrile outfit gloves! Seriously though, the Imperial Radch trilogy, especially, “Ancillary Justice”, by @annleckie.com is great #SciFi #SpaceOpera, particularly for those interested in #AI

They’re making a rational choice; we’re not explaining how graduate degrees can advance their careers beyond becoming professors themselves…

Really not really. I’ve got some academic perspectives/essays about the impossibility/fantasy of #Deëxtinction in the works or about to drop. Can’t stop won’t stop fighting the spread of scientific #Misinformation and #Disinformation

In many ways it is the successful completion of the 35-volume (!), Encyclopédia, began by Denis Diderot in 1751. Its goal was modest — to simply collect and disseminate all human knowledge…

Little test:
This is a FRAP experiment on a protein localized to a condensate (an object that concentrates biological macromolecules).
Fluorescence in one of the brightest dots is bleached. Recovery half time is a few seconds.
What does this say about the internal liquidity of the object?

This thread is 💯. Labor precarity in academia means the evisceration of faculty governance and academic freedom, opening the door to administrative purges of the most vulnerable. And faculty-esp tenured faculty and academic leaders-who aren't defending their trans colleagues are enabling it.

Was thinking along those lines, or a mutation is some essential developmental pathway that may be used in adult somatic cells but they’re already differentiated so 🤷
