First we created a culture where you don't have to understand basic statistical ideas and methods to analyze quantitative data from samples. This was a wonderful innovation, as it removed barriers to publishing whatever the fuck you wanted. Using "AI" to just invent the data is the next logical step

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸

How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data.

It's #ChemNobel season again!

Surely this year should go to the most important chemical breakthrough of our lifetimes: DNA synthesis/Marvin Caruthers 🧬

Phosphoramidite DNA synthesis is the bedrock of modern biology and enabled the development of therapies for untreatable diseases
#chemsky 🧪

Michael Booth @drmikebooth.bsky.social · Sep 18

It's Chem Nobel Prize season, so your reminder that DNA synthesis/Marvin Caruthers needs to win! chemsky 🧪

Without DNA synthesis there is NO *PCR*, *sequencing*, *cloning*, *CRISPR*, *siRNA*, *synthetic biology*, *mRNA vaccines*, *nucleic acid therapeutics*, *Nanotech*

What more am I missing?

I don’t think this stat (3.9%) reflects those waiting for LP8.1 (like me) as it’s only become available this week. It reflects the paucity of people keeping up with recommendations. And reduction in severity matters.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
