finally someone said it. TRT is the real pipeline. from low T to low empathy to high nationalism.

No problem, at least you watched it. Does it resonate?

I saw this at a conference for blood-based diagnostics and was blown away.

Nature is amazing, over the weekend I was able to spend time admiring this beautiful place. To me this is the type of cathedral Gaudí was inspired to mimic in his works.

Sharing here a new commentary in Science Policy Forum that provides new analysis on risks related to the potential future creation of mirror bacteria — synthetic organisms in which all molecules have reversed chirality (i.e. are ‘mirrored’). 1/x

With today's report outlining risks on mirror life www.science.org/doi/full/10.... many have asked:

Could mirror life survive in the wild?

Yes. While mirror life in the wild could have some significant disadvantages (like finding food it can digest), they do not appear to be insurmountable: 🧵

For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol.

On The Climate Brink: Stop emissions, stop warming: A climate reality check

This is a crucial point because it determines how much warming is already "locked in" and effectively unavoidable.

The answer is very little warming is locked in.

Also, this is our 100th post!

📢 Preprint! How does the environment of a father before conception influence offspring?

Even more, how do paternal genetics & ages interact with exposures to affect F1 outcome?

We tested this systematically, with intriguing findings & some cautionary tales🧵...

Embryonic Signatures of Intergenerational Inheritance across Paternal Environments and Genetic Backgrounds

The paternal preconception environment has been implicated as a modulator of phenotypic traits and disease risk in F1 offspring. However, the prevalence and mechanisms of such intergenerational epigen...

Doesn’t look like Olink and Somascan correlate well at all.

Chris Whelan @chrisdwhelan.bsky.social · Nov 20

We’ve found Olink & Alamar to correlate quite well (~60%) overall. Maybe unsurprising, since both are antibody-based.

Lack of correlation b/w SomaScan & others might reveal interesting facets of the aptamer tech (protein folding, PTMs, etc) but 100% agree that infighting is bad for the field.

A hard spin will definitely still contain EVs. It could be a cleavage product as you suggested earlier or apoptosis.
