Not having @Joni_Coleman tweeting about #WCPG2024 feels weird 😅

@mcintosh2001 @RJStrawbridge @sebatlab @uk_biobank £9000 is a good deal considering that storing all of the data available on RAP locally would cost £5,250,000 per year.

@RJStrawbridge @sebatlab @uk_biobank I've previously had one for £31,000 @sebatlab (and no, we weren't using the RAP at the time). @mja has been using the RAP & reports good/useful things about it

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall. Eating some snacks and reading a book. Oh, this was a different day. We shouldn't be defined by our worst moment.

@Joni_Coleman @StuartJRitchie Key thing to probe is not:
"How different is the sensation of seeing an apple versus imagining an apple?"
but rather:
"How different is the sensation of imagining an apple versus imagining an elephant?"
or even:
"imagining a red apple versus imagining a green apple?"

My hot take: this isn't real. Nobody can actually "see" stuff that doesn't exist in the way implied here unless they're actively hallucinating. This is just an issue of these things being extremely hard to explain using language, and people using words in subtly different ways.

It's baffling to me that some of y'all see stuff in your mind. You SEE it? The way your eyes see? I always thought "visualize" meant thinking of the words/ideas/feelings associated with a thing, not actual visuals. I am such a total 5 on this scale I didn't know 1-4 existed.

@LauraHuckins @DocLBrown2 @PGCgenetics Mol Psych 2008 is an early outline of the PGC (then called the "Psychiatric GWAS Consortium")

Hey @PGCgenetics, what is the best way to cite the PGC as a whole in a journal article? I can't seem to find it on the site!

I'm still reading, replying, and liking here but posting over on genomic-dot-social as markjamesadams 🐘 (despite the erasure of this policy document, links to Mastodon servers are still blocked, and the technical implementation underlies the intent)

@halidecamera It's not often you get a color calibration target in a press photo. I wonder what it could tell us about the camera / photo processing / lighting.

Traveling through Twitter as through a galaxy in which thought-fragments & snatches of poetry reverberate with a startling intimacy....

Twitter makes of loneliness something rich & unexpected. But you must choose your travel-companions with care.

@EK_Neuro Just nostalgic for my PhD and first postdoc research when datasets
were small enough to send around by email.
English
@mja why does your profile say you're fond of small data when you're a big data expert?
