Amazing! New species = new DNA to sequence = new knowledge = new breakthroughs at the horizon . Science won’t stop

I mostly care when reviewers ask me to put it in a grant or a paper, but I do not use it to guide my genetic discovery studies. Then again, I am an applied geneticist so my view might be a bit superficial

Who would've thought!

I guess in that place also the normal serum albumin is 4g/L…

As the world moves on, the FARM WORKER community does not. Listen to the pain of broken promises from a country that they’ve given their lives & bodies to. They’re calling on YOU to withhold your money for 3 days as they pause their labor. #FarmworkersStrike4Dignity

That’s right! Scientists are constantly distracted , and now much more, by quacks who confound opinions with facts

Perplexity as a Metric for Isoform Diversity in the Human Transcriptome Long-read sequencing (LRS) has revealed a far greater diversity of RNA isoforms than earlier technologies, increasing the critical need to determine which, and how many, isoforms per gene are biologic...

🌟 Honored to present “Generative AI and Chatbot Application in Critical Care Nephrology” at the 43rd Vicenza Course – AKI-CRRT-EBPT in June 2025 🇮🇹

This was a transformative opportunity to share how Generative #AI is reshaping critical care nephrology

Yum yum yum

After random seating permutations and precise “single-human” clustering, here the ASN young investigator, mid career, and Homer Smith awards … of course with the queen in the middle ❤️

Italy! Spain! The Caribbean! Brazil! Australia!

Sure, accountability is key, but this country is a clear example that manipulation works very very well

That’s brilliant, but unfortunately they won’t even understand simple satire and that’s exactly what they’ll do, sit there doing nothing , cowardly complicit

Hahaha! There’s no limits

Yup, cauti is a liability for hospitals and at the feeble risk of paying a few dollars they prefer to have a aki misdiagnosed ending up on RRT or a hyponatremia over correcting with ODS…
