🧵1/ The Netherlands is the place to be if you want to study the #government's misuse of #AI in a democratic country.

A week or so ago there was some reporting on the Top 400, a #predictive #crime initiative by the City of #Amsterdam. They algorithmically create a list of the 400 youngsters they believe are most likely to commit serious crimes. The #police actively surveills them (including house visits!), even if they haven't committed any crimes at all.

Hi everyone👋 #preLights is a #preprint highlights service run by the biological #community and supported by #Co_Biologists allowing researchers to:

🔎 Sift through the growing volume of preprints.
💡 Highlight new thinking or new techniques across the biological sciences.
📝 Comment on preprints that are of particular interest.
👥 See comments and opinions of other researchers.

Toots from Reinier Prosée, the preLights community manager.

Happy #FluorescentFriday folks! Because everything seems a little dark on the otherside, we are sharing some color-tastic eye-popping pics to kick off the week-end.... #cilia #flagella #MicroscopeMagic #TubulinCode

Are grad students on here? Seems like it leans toward senior and mid career folks.

Q directed to grad students / postdocs who are checking this out:

What practices/behaviors would make this space useful for you?

How can senior folks best promote your work or interact w you here?

My sister didn't have a lot of #RStats training in undergrad so texts me questions about R-- happy to help, it's fun to be useful

But today she asked about putting significance indicators (brackets and stars) on R plots. I wasn't ready to admit I do that using photoshop, so I googled it and found a newer package to easily add them in ggplot2! So excited I had to share!

Hi #devbio #devbiol Mastodon,

If you like sharing and discussing #preprints, you might like to know that Development publishes 'In preprints' articles.

Please do feel welcome to get in touch if you would be interested in writing an article on a preprint - or preprints - that interest you.

Learn more about this article type here: https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.200711

Supercool paper on #transposons in A. lyrata; suggests the use of TEs to increase heterozygosity during extreme inbreeding
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34795-4

TEs are the best.

Also "0.6% of men in the UK Biobank lack a functional MAP3K15 gene without any apparent [health] issues"

Y’all, if you’re getting frustrated you’re not seeing the content you want to like news or intel you need on Mastodon, you really need to shift your thinking from algorithmic social media. Follower counts don’t matter much here. Likes do not matter to post reach. Without your interaction, you will just see a live FIFO firehose. Some quick fixes:

Hashtag your posts liberally and consistently, and follow key hashtags of interest to you. Hashtags matter a ton here to being seen.

Follow and also alert on accounts you always want to see content from.

Consider using the built in RSS feature for your feeds and for specific hashtags.

Consider switching to the more advanced UI in your preferences, so you can watch multiple filtered and unfiltered feeds. Or a different mobile app.

Use Fedifinder to follow all the accounts you followed on Twitter, and sync up your follow and block lists.

Avail yourself of the multiple public lists of hundreds of journalist accounts on Mastodon.

Any recommendation for long read #RNA-seq #analysis #pipeline? #bioinformatics

I've been using #AnnotatedEquations in my recent papers. I think it really adds to the readability and understanding of the math.

Here are some examples. It uses #tikz in #latex.

Let me know if you like it. Happy for any feedback.

"The controlled expression of one cellular feature -- the cilium -- was likely critical during early animal evolution. Two key transcription factors, RFX and FoxJ1, coordinate ciliogenesis in animals but are absent from the genomes of most other ciliated eukaryotes, raising the question of how the transcriptional regulation of ciliogenesis has evolved."
