Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists: - watching flies fuck - giving rats massages - spending years digging into why jellyfish glow - tracking penguin poop from space - using horseshoe crab blood


I had to let a student go and I feel as though I failed them — how do I do better next time? nature.com/articles/d4158… Some fantastic advice here, incl from @FredHutch's @HarmitMalik! I strongly echo: "Hiring the wrong person is worse than hiring no person at all"

Excited to see BiomedGPT published in @NatureMedicine!

An open source and computing-friendly vision-language model is shown to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in 16 out of 25 biomedical tasks, with promising performance in a series of potential clinical applications @slc137 @james_y_zou @hongfangliu nature.com/articles/s4159…

Tangent (unrelated to peer review): Overly long papers more hurt authors. The authors' message is often lost. Authors of megapapers squeeze everything from the data, jealously guarding their pie. Their papers are often confusing with too many messages and end up in the trash.

"Paper is too long" complaints are so funny to me. Like is someone forcing you to read it? Just skip it if you hate it so much lol

Took 1-8y off science for family during your postdoc or faculty position? Contact an NIH-funded lab to see if they will write a reentry with you. Please RT these little-known supplements: nigms.nih.gov/Research/Mecha…

I had 1 published paper and a couple submitted when I went on the faculty job market and had several offers. Things are clearly different from 15 years ago, but even now, most of my post docs who successfully find jobs do not have 13 papers.

This post is unavailable.
