"One of the great commandments of science is, 'Mistrust arguments from authority.' Too many such arguments have proved too painfully wrong. Authorities must prove their contentions like everybody else." — The Demon-Haunted World

Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding. (E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?) Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

Urine complement-related proteins in IgAN and IgAVN, possible biomarkers of disease activity: ▫️U-PTX-3 and u-MBL might be biomarkers of an active proliferative stage of the disease ▫️↑ u-C4c indicate more chronic lesions in both IgAN and IgAVN 🔗doi.org/10.1093/ckj/sf…

It was spring 2020. I was a professor and had recently learned I’d successfully been awarded early tenure. At the tail end of a series of talks at other universities, a colleague had invited me to give a seminar at a stellar department that was an unusually great fit for my

There's still no better explainer of what neural networks are and how they work than Grant Sanderson's 8-video playlist. He recently added four new videos to this playlist: 1. Large Language Models explained briefly 2. Transformers (how LLMs work) explained visually 3. Attention

The Aizawa Attractor. A simple equation, but beautiful chaotic pattern. [bityl.co/Nh9d]

5,562 proteins were found to have tissue-specific enrichment across 32 human tissues. ◼️ The majority of them (3,088) are enriched at the protein but not RNA level. 🧠 The brain hosts the largest number of proteins that are only enriched at the protein level but not RNA level.

Every second, trillions of flowing cells transporting oxygen to your respiring mitochondria The blood is the bridge between breath and flowing electrons in your mitochondria So beautiful !

A platform for the continuous selection of protein aggregation inhibitors from genetically encoded cyclic peptide libraries in E. coli is developed, here used to develop inhibitors against amyloid-β42 and human islet amyloid polypeptide aggregation nature.com/articles/s4158…

This pretty much settles it: we're entering the era of low-cost, on-demand binders for everything Excited to see what people build now that "inject a llama with some junk and bleed it a month later" is no longer the cutting-edge tech nature.com/articles/s4158…

It is the responsibility of scientists never to suppress knowledge, no matter how awkward that knowledge is, no matter how it may bother those in power; we are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are permissible and which are not.

Looks like NIH grant review panels have been suspended temporarily. Because it takes time to coordinate and schedule a multi-layered grant panel review from experts across the country, what seems like a short delay in review of funding applications could be the difference between

I don't know why so many Americans have this idea that Germans all feel guilty about WWII. I don't know anyone my generation or even my parents' generation who feels this way. I think this is a story that Americans are telling themselves. What is true is that at least the

I come from a family of doctors & cancer researchers. My district is full of medical professionals. RFK, Jr. is an anti-vax conspiracist. While we hear from him today, here’s the facts on what he did to kids in Samoa & why the Senate must reject him:
