I am seeing a lot of posts about Rosalind Franklin that themselves ignore her publication record on DNA!

In fact Franklin and Gosling's paper, including the famous Photograph #51, was published, along with Wilkins's paper, back-to-back with the Watson and Crick paper in Nature in 1953.

Crazy how science is a concept to me before I learned what science is. Statistics 101: empirical cycle and bias

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

My primary use of bluesky is to follow all the cool academics/researchers i see because i want to see their work/insights, and then some of them follow me BACK, which is so unexpected and makes me feel so happy cuz im only a "nobody" bachelor student 🥹, but determined!

#academicsky #neuroskyence

I use bluesky to collect all the interesting research papers like a little crow collecting shiny trinkets and they give me little dopamine boosts PLUS very inspiring PLUS keeps me up to date with the topics of my interest PLUS potential network building ☺️

#academicsky

just had this in my lecture today! does this counts as helping me learning (about learning)?

This is definitely somebody’s dream job. I know it would be mine if I was a historian

gah this episode broke my heart first time when i watched it 😭

happiness boosted = stress level reduced

- me learning academic skills

crochet jellyfish keychain :3

A very late (about a year and one week) birthday gift for my therapist, the sweetest and kindest and one of the most important person in my life :)

#crochet

Built my first PC with my date! despite all the nervousness of damaging the parts and frustration with cables, I’m really proud. Childhood dream come true 🥹

ooh that’s a great tip, thank you!

Plants! sorry for the confusion 😬

Clippy the integral :D

user manual for clippy

ive made an integral crochet for my maths teacher in the past as a little gratitude gift (an inside joke to the fact he never had the time to finish his phd thesis), with a little user manual included as card

I have also never crochet a plant before, but there’s still some time till this course is finished so i’ve plenty of time to plan it. i have made an integral in the past for my maths teacher, im really proud of it, will post it below my post :)

academics on bluesky, help me out:

there’s an associate professor I really adore and i want to make her a little gift to express my gratitude, after she stops teaching me ofc, is that appropriate? I’m thinking of crocheting a plant because that’s her field of expertise

there aren’t much crows and ravens at where i live, but a lot of western jackdaws, does this also apply to them?

Maryland folks, I need another favor.

There is a person from Anne Arundel county that has been infected with SARS-CoV-2 for about 3 years (Delta infection).

They probably don’t even know they are infected, but they are shedding a ton of viral material in wastewater

liking this post contributes to learning for my genetics exam tomorrow right? RIGHT???

nope, my mom used to own a book store so she kept a lot of books. When I was 10 I accidentally found Mein Kampf and read a bit and decided this dude is childish and whining a lot so I stopped reading, my mom was only surprised that I found it, not mad at all

same here in Amsterdam! Not as much but I’m very happee to see it :D

CONGRATION!

CONGRATION!

oh man that’s awful. thank you for explaining :D

but it’s not just me, my fellow classmates who are native dutch also experience similar problems, not per se the same level of grammar mistakes as i have, but more so having a hard time finding the correct dutch words. high school basically failed to prepare us for this level of vocabulary
