#ein_tag_im_september Sorry, but when I hear about De Gaulle & Adenauer or Mitterand & Kohl forming personal bonds and that being a boon to democracy and freedon, I immediatly think of Trump, Putin, Xi or Kim forming personal bonds. It's not the personal bonds but the ideas of the bodning people.

Out-of-context-Zitat von Lessing (Emilia Galotti): "Hier ist, was ich diesen Morgen erbrochen. Nicht viel Tröstliches!" 🤢😜

Am I the only one who dislikes the literary genre of using dialogues in philosophical writing? It began with Platon and went downhill from there.

Great #paleontology-themed Xmas card "Ideal impression of a future creation discovered by professors Ichthyosaurus, Megalosaurus and Co." in style of Henry De la Beche's famous Professor Ichthyosaurus cartoon “Awful Changes".

Since I see "types of ___ papers" making the rounds again, I figured I'd repost what was probably my most retweeted post on that other site: types of #philbio papers.

I'm surprised to learn from Radick's 'Disputed Inheritance' that Mendel's laws are not simply taught, in Britain, as the uniformity of hybrids from pure breeds (1. law), the 3:1 ratio in the F2 generation (2. law) etc. Never heard of the 1. law as referring to gene pairs (alleles) etc. #hps #evobio

Today is a historical day that marks the approval of CRISPR gene therapy for sickle cell anaemia and beta-thalassemia. 10 years separate proof-of-concept paper from @doudna_lab to a real therapy by @VertexPharma and @CRISPRTX! Exciting times! https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03590-6

The referees feel that our paper would have been better if it had been a different paper. Not sure I can be bothered to argue this one.

One of the very few philosophical ideas that have been resoundingly falsified is Popper’s falsificationism.

People who claim Dunning-Kruger effect for others and impostor-syndrome for themselves are usually just Dunning-Kruger-stupid and mistaking the first inclings of a realilstic self-assessment for an impostor-sydrome.
