I've been comparing social media platforms for effictiveness at getting out a PhD advert. Comparing reposts not a like-for-like as TwiX and LinkedIn both use likes to populate your feed. On this basis, LinkedIn clear winner, X clear loser. LinkedIn stripped out links though, grr!

New blogpost, inspired, as usual, by irritation.

I sometimes think the research literature is so mired by questionable research practices that there is really no hope.

"Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity."
War and Peace

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born #OTD in 1828. He is best known for his two longest works, War and Peace & Anna Karenina, which are commonly regarded as among the finest novels ever written. War and Peace in particular seems virtually to define this form for many readers and critics.

'In some cases, GWAS results have highlighted previously underappreciated mechanisms contributing to pathogenesis. For example, genetic variants associated with AD risk are enriched in genes and enhancers (regions in the genome that control gene expression) acting in myeloid cells, likely microglia. This indicated the important role of innate immune cells in AD. Therefore, the enrichment of risk variants in specific biological pathways can deepen our mechanistic understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and may even point to new therapeutic targets.'

'Desde muy joven, Saura mostró su interés por diferentes disciplinas artísticas. La fotografía, la pintura y la música formaban parte del calor familiar. Pero la pasión por el cine nació en la calle, cuando en el Madrid pobre y apaleado de la posguerra el pequeño se escapaba a las sesiones de los cines de barrio cercanos a su casa familiar de la avenida de Menéndez Pelayo para ver una y otra vez la versión de los años treinta de El prisionero de Zenda.'
