The 5 stages of keeping up with the literature: Denial (“If it’s important I’ll hear about it”) Anger (“it’s probably AI garbage”) Bargaining (“I’ll have NotebookLM summarize it”) Depression (“maybe I’ll move to consulting”) Acceptance (“no one reads papers anyway”)

🧬 While there are tens of thousands of genes, only a portion directly code for proteins, the molecules that carry out essential functions in our cells. Understanding this helps us study how genetic variation impacts health and disease.

Dear Editors.. isn’t the current “reviewer crisis” also driven by the constant increase in the nr or reviewers per manuscript? Last one I did I was one of 6!

Grazie per questo splendido articolo! Non solo gli schiavizzandi sono spesso assistenti personali degli strutturati o son chiamati a coprire il 100% dei turni pur essendo troppo pochi. Ma ancora più spesso ci si ritrova a fare trasporti, fotocopie.. all’estero non è così 1/2

Cari @ilpost.it siete sempre più il riferimento dei progressisti, e avete anche un notevole audience più “al centro” soprattutto tra i millennials. Avete una linea editoriale molto chiara, coerente e coraggiosa. Quando però parlate di “maschi” scivolate su stereotipi 1/3

The government manages 50% of Italian economy. Growth rate has been near zero for 40 years.. correlation or causation?

Europe first experiment with common debt had 2 key tests. Italy and Spain were 1st and 2nd fund recipients. How did it go? Federico Fubini on @Corriere today showed how poor was the Italian outcome. While Spain was a great success www.corriere.it/economia/fin...

Europe has a booming solar industry which employs one-in-every-thousand people. While manufacturing solar panels seemingly receives unending policy attention, all the jobs are in the installation and maintenance of panels. Anything that slows installations - like tariffs in the 2010s - hurts jobs

Bonus point: Lawyer blames kidney disease affecting his cognition hence the A.I. misuse 😳 Like judges, editors are also seeing A.I. made fake citations in your submitted manuscripts. We don’t publicly rant or fine, just reject.

Can’t wait to hear this. FT in my opinion is The Publication!

L’attesa è finita. Grazie @lucamisculin.bsky.social. Il podcast è adatto anche a chi non ha ascoltato la prima stagione. E per chi l’ha ascoltata 5 volte? Chiedo per un amico…

European gas storage has started its summer refill. Storage sits at 30% capacity today. EU rules target 80% filling by 1 November. April injections are averaging 0.2 percentage points of capacity per day. A straight-line path to the 80% target would involve 0.25% pts per day.

Another great episode of @dwarkesh.bsky.social podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/1JTv... It seems so me a lot about human psychology and biases. I’d recommend interviewing @jayvanbavel.bsky.social and reading: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I work in Pharma and I’m stunned by the anti-statin arguments based on an alleged Pharma conspiracy. The reality is that Statins are off patent and cost pennies, big pharma does not profit from them. But if you get sick avoiding them.. you may actually boost the industry!

Believing in something that can hurt you (eg denying covid) is a useful feature of a belief: This costly belief signals a social identity to others, and also signals that one values this identity so much they are willing to take risks to obtain social benefits www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A majority of Americans believe that social media is harming children and two new court cases largely agreed. We have been studying social media for over the past decade and found that the harms of social media extend far beyond kids. Read more here: www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/how-social...

Bikes are the solution to many problems, from congestion to climate change.. all the way to personal health and wellbeing. But, for many reasons, cyclists are perceived as incredibly annoying. Law against them are popular and help in the polls. By the way, how may of you drive always with 2 hands?

Dear Economists.. I read what is causation for a Nobel Prize in Economics and (as a scientist) I had a heart attack. In that case, causality was clearly established

Why exactly nature evolved PCSK9? As a subsidy to the pharmaceutical industry? #evolution

It is impressive noticing some trends that are completely flipping some of the most established USA—Europe stereotypes. Let’s see, some: Europeans work less, Health Care is better in EU and food quality in US is massively worse 1/n

Generational trauma is widespread. Most, if not all of us, are somehow affected and it will take decades to understand it. I personally believe that a lot of our collective behavior can be explained through these lenses. Among others, kindness is a great tool to cope

OK, I have a US jacket design now. I think it looks rather handsome. The book is published in the autumn, in both the UK (Little Brown) and US (University of Chicago Press).

When enzymes catalyse reactions, sometimes it seems they receive a little motive kick. This "enhanced enzyme diffusion" is strange and controversial, but a new proposal says it makes them like Maxwell's demon. I examined that notion for @chemistryworld.com www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/maxw...

There is *only one* viable option for Europe energy independence (two if Poland starts fracking): next gen geothermal energy. Everything else is a buffer or a lie. You CANNOT power a complex economy only with solar power and nuclear is not scalable
