If you're interested in a holistic view on the regulation of carbon metabolism by PTMs, check out our recent review: #plantscience #biology @itqbunl #lifescience Turning the Knobs: The Impact of Post-translational Modifications on Carbon Metabolism frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

@Windows have no respect whatsoever with their users. How on Earth @Microsoft change the settings of my computer (BIOS and boot loader) WITHOUT ASKING FOR PERMISSION?

It is time to say the following: postdocs are essential for academic research, but they are treated as disposable components of the system, very often nameless scientists that make those beautiful figures that senior scientists advertise in international meetings. We are tired.

And usually these contracts announcements start with "with possible extension". What is the purposes of that? Say that you're disposable and if you do not submit to long hours and the crazy pressure, you can be kicked-off and there is another one to replace.

I have re-discovered a dormant passion for math. And I'm delighted with that!

I'd say that this is the best thread on machine learning ever. For an ML apprentice, this is gold. Help us to understand what goes underneath the canned functions and fancy libraries with one-liners. Both are good, but seeing these animations is amazing. Thanks, @ryanpholbrook

@DominikJKubicki @Nature They want someone to work as a PhD student in a specific project. High profile labs want postdocs to work in a project, publish a big paper, and thats it. They want a pd that should be a PI already. Postdoc annoucements are more restrictive than private job offers very often

@Nature I would've thought 36 applications for 1 opening would be enough to find a qualified postdoc?

Lab leaders wrestle with paucity of postdocs #Echobox=1661901810" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/d4158…

@Nature Well, here we see the culture in Academia and a reason why the shortage is happening. Treating postdocs as "fuel" to run his personal CV...

@Nature And compare postdocs to fuel is awful. Omg. What kind of scientists we have nowadays?

Great discussion btw!

A lot of people want you to match their expectations. You don't have to, because when you match it, they will raise the bar. It is like a mouse-wheel. Stick to what you think is right for you and be fair with other people.

@JulianVerdonk If you confirm the results for 20 genes, what about the others hundreds or thousands? Should we drop big data mining thought? This kind of request is a shame. Do not adds anithing relevant to the work, but is labor intensive.

When you do RNAseq to avoid doing a ton of qPCRs and the reviewers ask you to confirm the results by qPCR

@BPeixotoSci @EBaena_Gonzalez Congrats! Can't wait to read it.

This one took a while to come out, but it's finally here! Super happy to share the exercise @EBaena_Gonzalez and I went through in trying to make sense of the SnRK1 literature in regards to its role in keeping metabolic homoeostasis :) academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

@ashleyscastro More than 1/3 of my pd salary goes to the government in taxes and social security and stuff (Europe). From the remaining salary, more than 1/2 goes to the landlord because I don't have credit as pd with limited-time contracts. The rest is for my SURVIVAL only.

@KhawjaFaisal @ashleyscastro What?
