I finished my summer internship this week! I spent 4 months working with a team of biologists and statisticians at The Jackson Laboratory, building visualization software for their research needs. The lab I worked with focuses on analyzing genetics, the microbiome, and addiction-related traits. Here's an overview of some of the EDA tools I built for them in #Python ☺️ #genetics #biology #addiction #dataviz #computerscience #research #phd
If you're doing cool work with data vis + bio, lmk!
'Scientists are learning that free-floating bits of genetic material found in a pregnant person’s blood may offer a way to detect complications such as preeclampsia and preterm birth—although some experts caution that it’s too early to determine how useful these tests will be in the clinic.'

Behind some of these critical host evasion strategies is the accessory protein Open Reading Frame 8 (ORF8), which has gained recognition in #SarsCoV2 pathogenesis due to its hypervariability, secretory property, and unique structure.

'No se sabe; sobre lo que sí hay certeza es que, en sus últimas palabras desde La Moneda, se despidió del pueblo, de la madre obrera, de los profesionales, de la juventud, del trabajador, del campesino, del intelectual, pero omitió cualquier mención a esa Unidad Popular que fue creada por sus propias manos, así como a sus partidos, dirigentes y militantes.'

Some people feel that SARS-CoV-2 infection of the brain is "rare".
(let's say <10% of cases)
...But can we really say that #SARSCoV2 infection of the nervous system is rare? 🤔
That's a question posed by neuroscientist Yan-Chao Li of Jilin University in his literature review and meta-analysis "What can CSF testing & brain autopsies tell us about viral neuroinvasion of SARS-CoV-2?"

I just migrated my account from another instance.
In case you would like to do the same thing it's easy but you need to be careful about a few things:
-Download your lists from your profile. Especially your follow list (in total you need to dl 5 csv files).
-Create a new account in the instance you want to migrate to.
-Connect your new account to the former account (done from your new account).
-Confirm the migration from your former account.
-Upload your lists to your new account.

When the world is facing several simultaneous climate catastrophes fueled by emissions from oil, coal & gas, the hugely profitable fossil fuel corporations got more subsidies they don’t need nor deserve - up to a staggering US$7 Trillion!

In Denmark we have the lovely new law that if you drive more than 100% over the speed limit and over 100 kmh or drive over 200 kmh at all or drunk driving with over 2‰ they confiscate the car and you are not getting it back at all. They confiscate the car regadles of who owns the car (with very few exceptions) and that is also if it is leased. So far since when the law started they have confiscated over 2000 cars in two years. It’s my favourite law of all laws right now. The fine for driving crazy is also nicely proportional to your income and it removes the car so the person cannot just drive without license afterwards.

'Concerns about the decline of X as a source of reliable information extends beyond the scientific and academic communities. During the apparent coup attempt in Russia in June, journalists noticed its relative uselessness at helping them find real-time, breaking information from the ground and sifting fact from fakery, due in part to Musk’s trashing of its account verification system.'

'Drought and wildfires across southern Europe this summer are the most overt signs of a complex and entrenched water scarcity problem that is becoming more severe as the climate changes. “There is no country in Europe that can pretend to be shielded,” said Xavier Leflaive, who leads the water team in the OECD’s environment directorate.'
