'As usual, I will be rolling up my sleeve at the first opportunity, and I will be inviting fear-mongering anti-vaccine activists like RFK Jr. to go perform various anatomically improbable acts while I do so.'
'A day earlier, Edwards had met CIA director Richard Helms. Notes from that conversation detail the media baron’s observations on various members of the military, prompting Nixon to request a “gameplan” for a coup that would prevent Allende’s inauguration.'

Born 122 years ago this week, Louis Armstrong's charisma & warmth captivated audiences globally. But, by the 1950s and 1960s, many of his Black Americans perceived him as outdated, out of touch with civil rights, and hesitant to voice his opinions—labeling him an "Uncle Tom." This deeply wounded Armstrong. But he was a far more complex & nuanced man than they knew.

It is actually long overdue for the #press to treat #Musk as the liar he is. But I doubt this will happen anytime soon. People in general, and the press in particular, seem to love a Reality Distortion Field (#RDF).

Benchmarking scATAC-seq
"Hence, an unbiased comparison of the use of different scATAC-seq methods on reference samples, and the resulting ‘benchmark data’, will allow researchers to make an informed method selection when considering scATAC-seq. Our study aimed to reduce ‘information asymmetry’ by equipping researchers with a comprehensive benchmarking of scATAC-seq tools, to increase the quality of data while reducing costs through informed decision-making."
'Our study found that, among individuals recently infected with SARS-CoV-2, those who were fully vaccinated had lower concentrations of almost all cytokines and chemokines than those who were unvaccinated in the short-term and long-term after symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.'

I hate to contradict Chuck D & Terminator X, but *do* believe the hype. Octavia Butler is an amazing writer. This one is Toni Morrison by way of Philip K Dick. #Books #Book #Bookshelf #bookstodon

'Meta has axed a team that used artificial intelligence to create the first database of more than 600mn protein structures, in a signal the company is abandoning purely scientific projects in favour of building moneymaking AI products.'

Location location location
"Here, we show that NET1 mRNA location in combination with the rate of its translation can influence the ability of competing domains to determine the targeting of the newly synthesized protein, by favoring binding to specific partners. This RNA-based partner-selection mechanism provides a robust means of controlling protein function."
