I forget I am a memory
Another abandoned building. Have you noticed a pattern? The way human created things return to baseline is endlessly interesting to me. See my username. #Abandoned #BlackAndWhite
@Richard_Littler And since we are here, what modern day Moriarty first said "hey, you know what Christmas tunes really need? A techno beat!"
@christlet @marcdionne @StearnsLab @jkpritch @richardsever Sometimes reviewers put forward great hypotheses or propose experiments that are rightfully considered by the editor & authors outside the scope of the paper, but are great scientific discussions. They remind me of a vanishing genre: transcripts of workshop discussions. I first learned #immunology from the volumes of Basel Tolerance workshop - they are incredible

Hi All #Introduction
I'm Tanja, also a recent Twitter migrant ..
I'm a biologist with a focus on neuroscience. In my postdoc in Ole Paulsen's lab (Neuronal Oscillation Group) at Cambridge University (UK) I investigate the role of neuromodulators on synaptic plasticity and memory.
I also like filming stuff and 3D animation, so will occasionally post science videos here, in addition to other science-related posts.
Looking forward to meeting you all here!
🚨JOB ALERT🚨
Our awesome team at Human Technopole in Milan, is hiring a Bioimage Analyst! You can find the job posting below. Applications close December 16th. Come and join us!
@StearnsLab @richardsever @jkpritch For systematic meta-analysis and the larger question of does peer review improve or not research articles a wonderful tool to develop would be one that links specific figures, blocks of text or datasets to reviewer requests and author responses. cc @tlemberger
@StearnsLab @richardsever @jkpritch I can give you one micro-use case: when I am prepping a class, journal club, article, or episode of the EMBO podcast, I always look for the peer review files. I think we are definitely underusing transparent review in teaching: both in general and in the specific instance of teaching peer review itself to students and postdocs. In any case, for articles or episodes with a historical focus, having access to the peer review files is great.
A common response to posting peer reviews (e.g. eLife, EMBO J) is it's wasted effort because no-one will read them. Well, breaking news: not many people read the paper either...
EMBO estimate ~10% of readers look at the peer reviews. Given a peer review takes ~5 hours to generate and one would certainly conclude a paper takes >50 hours to generate, then a readers/hour-worked calculation surely argues in favor of posting peer reviews - no?
"Differing from its predecessor, ENLIGHT has been designed and evaluated with two real-world clinical scenarios in mind: personalized oncology, where one matches the best treatment to a patient based on a fixed decision threshold, and CTD, where the goal is to a priori exclude non-responding patients in the best possible manner.

Hi, my name is Ewa and I am a little late to #twittermigration - a lot is happening in my life right now! I have just resigned from the first permament academic position I had in my life @liverpool and I am starting my own lab in Krakow, Poland in January https://echrostek.wixsite.com/website #introductions

#Drosophila #Advent Day17: On to another genus with Hirtodrosophila confusa. The genus #Hirtodrosophila is paraphyletic https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evab179, but the UK species are all members of single clade. This species lays its eggs in large decaying fungi https://www.jstor.org/stable/2408009, and is often found in large numbers on dryads saddle (Polyporus squamosus). Seemingly very well adapted to the Scottish climate, it is apparently unable to breed above 24°C. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2005.00914.x #Diptera #Fungi
