So finally white house finds some interest in health 🧪 science, but picks the most creepy and abusive possible idea. Maybe next will be bleach-based covid therapy ?

Here we are: "Almost 60 heads of university departments in physics and related disciplines have told science minister Lord P. Vallance that the cuts will damage the UK’s scientific standing" #UKRI 🧪🔭 Top academics warn UK physics cuts threaten effort to boost economy www.ft.com/content/a235...

It was full of these bees (Eucera?) going in and out of the Freesia refracta flowers. There were also some Macroglossum stellatarum (hummingbird moth), impossible to photograph! 🧪🌍🔥🪴🌿🐝🦋

This is a great article by @astrolisa.bsky.social. It beautifully balances the potential inspiration of space flight with the gritty reality of "why should we care given what's going on right now?". 🧪 🔭

This is a difficult read, considering we all want the same thing. Here's the rewilding view on the feasibility of reintroducing pipilans Twite back to the hills of England 🪶🧪 derekgow1.substack.com/p/the-song-o...

Research shows how social media algorithms such as that of Twitter shift users toward more right wing views. #SocialMedia 🧪

China is facing a coming wave of #Alzheimers disease and other dementia conditions for its ageing population, and is investing in research into drugs, diagnostics and surgery to prepare itself. Nature reports on what other countries can learn from the approach. #medsky 🧪

How do psychedelics work on the brain? They intensify oscillations in visual areas that cause the brain to switch to a mode in which access to ongoing external stimuli is suppressed, and perceptions are increasingly generated from memory contents. Partial dreaming, if you like. 🧪

Small glitch in the JD Vance engagement list caused some false positives this morning. Fixed and the wrong entries are removed.

The official ICE account is only on Bluesky to post in bad faith. If you want to never see this troll, along with anyone who feeds it (giving them exactly what they want), this list is for you. Same goes for the other engagement-tracking lists maintained here.

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

This was big news for @julianbarnes.bsky.social at @nytimes.com and elsewhere back in 2023. So it's newsworthy that the conclusion was based on such shoddy work, right?

Here's another strange example from the DOE origins report: "As required by Boni et al, this scenario includes pangolin coronaviruses as the source of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein." The conclusion by Boni et al was precisely the opposite!

My time in @martinsteinegger.bsky.social's group is ending, but I’m staying in Korea to build a lab at Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine. If you or someone you know is interested in molecular machine learning and open-source bioinformatics, please reach out. I am hiring! mirdita.org

The Heritage Foundation invited Robert Redfield to share his expertise on COVID-19 origins last week (and also to promote his book). Here's an excerpt from his book. Anyone want to peer review it?

A long time ago in a galaxy far away, there was a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Our paper, led by @martibartfast.bsky.social a) correcting errors in 4.5 million genomes & their phylogeny b) improving representation of the Global South in public data www.nature.com/articles/s41... (thread 1/n)

Robert Redfield: "The wet market was a ROOST" supercut The words in his book being at odds with what he's saying to promote it would come home to roost if his audience didn't welcome the ruse.

It's still a "hypothetical 🥪" @ayjchan.bsky.social but perhaps it's time to revisit what you thought was "very plausible" before any supporting evidence was in.

Here is an announcement for everybody who is sick and tired on the attacks on science and scientists. It has been months in the making, but now we are ready to fight back. First episode airs tomorrow 5pm UK. New episode every friday. Incredible guests lined up. open.substack.com/pub/protagon...

It's hard to spot any significant differences, but there's one: The conspiracy theorist reported the E value. It was 6.2 (ie, there's nothing significant here at all). The peer reviewed paper only reported the E value after they went back and searched only for the 19 out of ~42 bases that matched.

Also, the first author of that odd Moderna conspiracy theory paper that ripped off a figure from Twitter holds the Guinness record for World's Youngest Doctor (graduated Mount Sinai at 17). Apparently he realized the paper was a bad idea shortly after it was published...

With PABS discussions ongoing, it is clear that GISAID is trying to rewrite history by deeply misrepresenting known facts and smearing of scientists. Genomic data is too critical a resource for outbreak response to let an organization like this play a leading role. We can, and must, do better.

ditto

So I am happy to hear that @frontiersin.bsky.social is taking issues with the paper seriously: methods falsification and plagiarism. I hope @uoregon.bsky.social takes it seriously as well. More details @pubpeer.com pubpeer.com/publications...

This paper was what Harvey Risch @yalesph.bsky.social used to advise Sen. Johnson that Moderna engineered SARS-CoV-2 to cause “turbo cancer” — here’s what Risch is up to now: www.wired.com/story/risch-...
