I struggle to understand how Labour strategists look at this data and think "we're losing voters to Reform - we need to be tougher on immigration" - the blue lines mirror each other almost exactly.

Same is true of scientific software.

Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu died #OTD in 1997. She conducted the Wu experiment (proving parity isn't conserved) for which her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. Her role wasn't publicly honored until she was awarded the inaugural Wolf Prize in 1978. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect

#DIBLives Known as ‘Mr Cable’, Wicklow man Robert Halpin (b. #OTD 1836) oversaw the laying of the first transatlantic cables from Ireland to America in 1866, French cable in 1869 & Bombay to Suez cable in 1870 - in all more than 26,000 miles of cable connecting the world. www.dib.ie/biography/ha...

On the one hand I think there are several structural factors that have brought Orbán to a reckoning; on the other, I choose to believe the prospect of a re-democratisation of Hungary is down to Troy Parrott.

Do you do image analysis? Want to make it more robust and reproducible? Have you heard of containers, but don't know why they’re useful, and how to use them? @martinjones.bsky.social will explain all: crick.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

#Women&GirlsinScienceDay Academic & particle physicist Anne Kernan was a huge advocate for women in science, on one occasion funding a trip to CERN for an undergrad she had never met, meeting her at the airport and paying for her accommodation until funding came through. www.dib.ie/biography/ke...

Seems about right?

Probably best not to inform the British public that their kitchen arrived here via the Channel, having already passed through numerous safe countries on its long trek from the Mediterranean

We’re looking for a postdoc to join Albert Cardona’s group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division. The successful candidate will work on various connectome mapping projects to better understand the neural circuit basis of behaviour. Read more: www.nature.com/naturecareer... Closes 15 FEB

Molecular biologist Dr. Millie Hughes-Fulford died #OTD in 2021. She was the first female payload specialist in space (Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-40, 1991) & spent her career studying the effects of spaceflight on the immune system at the cell molecular and systems biology level. #WomenInSTEM

This is more like it - hats off to @kristinaulicna.bsky.social

This performative martyrdom complex is seeping into academic bioscience (probably owing to the tech-bro influence). I’ve overheard more than one male PhD student proudly share godawful (and counter-productive) "life hacks" - like "I only have one meal per day" - to "optimise" their lab time.

Price of gold in Ireland falls, bucking the global trend. www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

Never forget that manners cost nothing. If you see a business advertising a job and you don't want it, do the right thing and let them know. Businesses always appreciate knowing who's not available to appoint.

Kids, this is what a bad influence looks like

"Science is encouraged by its performance" Really? Most of your authors are not sharing their code - how is that encouraging? How can anyone possibly reproduce the results in those papers? www.science.org/content/blog...

I'm generally opposed to the "verbing" of nouns, but in this case...

As the use of machine learning in medicine explodes, we need to make sure the accelerators have matching breaks and that we do things correctly. I highlighted a study on the problem of sycophancy in chatbots as it relates to medical advice. Read the full paper too! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.

Cost of being female lead/corresponding author in biomedical sciences: "[T]he median amount of time spent under review is 7.4%–14.6% longer for female-authored articles than for male-authored articles" even in disciplines where women well-represented. #AcademicSky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Speaking of Irish Americans' unhealthy fixation on the famine: www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Amazing #BioImageAnalysis lead position at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social: hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

"...we risk losing humanity’s greatest collaborative knowledge project to the very AI systems that it helped to train." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If his great-grandad "escaped the famine" aged 11, that would mean he was born around 1830s. Which means his grandparents would probably have been born around 1850s-1860s. Which means his parents would probably have been born around 1870s-1890s. Which means Brendan Fraser is at least 100?

This is excellent. And I say that as one of the users/developers of the "niche technologies" @patrickfreyne.bsky.social refers to. Particularly like this point: "The chatbot model encourages passive acceptance of one perspective."
