And go full on Jerry Springer and don’t tell either who the other special guest is.

Like AMT but for imaging?

On my list. This week!

I’ve heard you can ask Grok to undress a paper, which makes the raw data publicly available.

So I missed this. What?!

You can hear the internet groans, slightly drowned out by the skyline laughs. I think @ucdproteomics.bsky.social has demonstrated if you want to do long gradients you need a wide curved monitor... BUT now we seem to be going short, so the curved monitor market took a hit.

And by weird, I don’t mean the actual hemoglobin but weird to think there’s a bunch of secondary things that cause variations in blood… that I totally am not thinking about.

Got a weird one (to me) for you: the finger prick test for hemoglobin iron can be a good 20% lower (or more?) if your hand is cold. I’m not a real biologist but I found this super weird.

Have you tried asking the turtle to undress?

I just realized this only existed on Twitter and I killed my account. Thank goodness certain blog carried the PR announcement. (maybe I’ll post them elsewhere for posterity)

Poisoning the well before LLMs were even popular. Trend setters!

I mean, lazy is better than nothing! But your recipe is basically what I’ve got, maybe squirt some mustard and add molasses.

Lotsa money coming your way!

Apparently rice and peas will give you all 14 essential amino acids. Another missed opportunity in my a.a. advent project.

Since I mentioned collards, another big thing around here is rice, and specifically this Carolina Gold Rice, pictured here as I just sampled to be sure I had it where I wanted it.

So I’ve got this modified second-second-hand recipe that uses a smoked turkey or pork stock (from Thanksgiving bones), molasses and leaves that are torn in larger pieces (no thick veins). I love it and feel overly opinionated on collards.

Funny story on collards: I grew up definitely not liking them. Greens my family made were chopped and too vinegary. 15+ years ago a good friend helped me make some using a recipe he winged which he had fixed with John Milner (Winston Salem fame) who learned it from his nanny in/from Georgia.

In a way this reminds me of a an old soil science joke: geologists call soil unconsolidated substrate and leave it at that. Likewise, proteins are just weird gene byproducts.
