Research @UArkansas identifies diet driven differences in how canary immune systems respond to infection while revealing how a protein diet primes the birds to resist infection @uarkansas.bsky.social @sauerscientist.bsky.social @clstacy.bsky.social news.uark.edu/articles/786...

Does anyone have insights into what is causing the recent downward trend in “t test” in PubMed citations? #stats Source: esperr.github.io/pubmed-by-year

Curious about folks thoughts on the widespread use of t-tests for proportion differences in publications. An urgent issue, or are there bigger fish to fry... What’s your stance? #stats #science

Just as important as teaching how to use statistical tools in #science is teaching students why those tools work. Every #PhD graduate who uses #statistics in their field should be able to satisfactorily answer questions like the one below. #edusky #academicChatter #statsky #phdchat #STEM

🧵 1/4 Have you ever wonder how a flavor in food gets labeled “natural” or “artificial”? It seems like an easy question: comes from nature? natural. Made in a lab? Artificial. Sounds good to me, but let’s dig deeper…

I know plenty of folks in my grad school program who are self taught users of R for their research. This open source course on R looks like a resource worth checking out: cs50.harvard.edu/r/2024/

SAVE THE DATES!!! Great news: useR 2025 will take place at Duke University, in Durham, NC, USA, August 8-10! More details to announced shortly, so stay tuned via duke-university-ocmd.read.axioshq.com/signup/user_... www.linkedin.com/posts/user-c...

I’m extra grateful for the grateful R package’s cite_packages function. 🧪 Such a nice resource for easily making science more reproducible: pakillo.github.io/grateful/ What package brings you joy this holiday season? 📦

@jkpritch.bsky.social Looks fascinating. Is there a bluesky thread about this somewhere? "We find that GWAS prioritize genes near trait-specific variants, while burden tests prioritize trait-specific genes."

Delighted to share a hobby project I’ve been working on: learning the Sinhala alphabet 🇱🇰 I made a free simple web-based letter learning game for myself, and want to share for others to enjoy! clstacy.github.io/sinhala/ #LanguageLearning #Sinhala #SriLanka

Delighted to share new work from our lab: MultiPerturb-seq 🎛️ ❌ ↕️ Over the last few years, we've been combining CRISPR screens with multimodal readouts of gene expression (RNA) and chromatin accessibility (DNA). In this study, we bring those together within the same cells.
