@NickDixon we all had mates like this, next week he'll be a buddhist

New Yookay aesthetic just dropped.

@TheLancet always someone willing to complain when there is a major breakthrough

GLP-1 receptor agonists have revolutionised obesity management. Yet high costs, limited production capacity, and supply-chain constraints have resulted in persistent inequitable access. This could be about to change. Find out more in our new issue: spkl.io/6014ALFHr

@anshulkundaje acadmics always hyped their work, social media made this worse and more apparent. everyone hyping 'big data' etc, a lot of them are not even data experts

Honestly feel kinda sad to see so many young scientists adopting and idolizing ultra hype culture. I think people don't really understand the medium and long term consequences to their own credibility and that of science as a whole.

If your blackboard looks that neat, you're copying equations.

@dr_alphalyrae people abandoing academia at all levels, especially in the biomedical sciences

are these all postdocs?

@TheEconomist the only thing more tedious than porn is a slam dunk contest

Porn alone is thought to generate almost $100bn in revenues a year worldwide, twice as much as AI. Economists ought to be less coy about studying sex work economist.com/finance-and-ec…

@EvanFeigenbaum more importantly, they don't have dei to waste those funds, they will be powerful

@Bigqadi you know we have cars right? you don't need to run anymore

Absolutely outrageous from Gout Gout. 10.04 at the age of 16. Speechless.

@DailyMail why does it seem gullible people are running everything

@orwellian @martinmbauer disparities and inequalities are definitely real, no one disputes that

@BasedScience @martinmbauer You consider the system rigged now? I don’t. Disparities and inequalities are real… the people most upset by it have typically never faced them head on. Glad to hear you have options, you don’t sound bitter at all.

@Domxg2m @ashishkjha @US_FDA he's worked with them, not for them. industry is where the money and talent lies, if you want to do quality work you need to collaborate with them

@ashishkjha @US_FDA This guy has worked for every large pharmaceutical company on planet earth

Rob Califf was an excellent @US_FDA Commissioner

“I was not very good in high school. I did all kinds of other things. You could say I was a bit of a rebel. But if you're not a rebel, you aren't questioning anything. If you have a curious mind and a rebellious character, you can be a good researcher even if your grades are not so good. I am the living proof of that!” At today's Nobel Prize Teacher Summit, chemistry laureate Morten Meldal spoke about the advantages of being a rebellious researcher. Meldal was awarded the 2022 chemistry prize for the development of click chemistry.

@hameedshuja everyone has a degree nowadays, i found 3 phd's under my bed today. don't be so proud of yourself

Left: Me and my goats in Afghanistan. Right: Me after my PhD from one of the UK's top universities. Conclusion: Farage is an ignorant coward who thrives on hate mongering and racial stereotypes.

@Bryce_Nickels i met him once. califf is a legend and everyone respects him

Prasad's used kleenex has more integrity than Califf

@orwellian @martinmbauer "compared to what"? how about just don't rig the system and generate waste? i have options, so i left. my job was to make others appear competent. i made someone a prof by getting her published in jama, best pracital joke i ever played. they haven't published since i left

@BasedScience @martinmbauer ok. Here's my experience: I find the people who are reflexively fixated on this have not processed their own insecurities. DEI implementation is not perfect. But compared to WHAT? I think you'll find a common theme is a dedication to keep improving and that's quite worthwhile.

@orwellian @martinmbauer i recall gervais saying: im someone tells you they have never met someone like david brent, then that person is david brent

@BasedScience @martinmbauer what made you like this? save up some of this energy for stuff like the DOGE guys or just cheer them on resentfully?

@GWHayduke97 it's wonderful in norway, it's hyggelig. my south american friends want to top themselves though

It genuinely breaks my brain to imagine what 1400 hours of annual sunshine must be like to live in. When going to college in Chicago, I really struggled with the seemingly endless gray of the winters. Chicago gets 2500 sunshine hours!
