A fantastic talk by Prof. @gemmaboleda of @putaupf, on #colexification at @abralin_oficial covering almost anything discussed in her paper jointly by Prof. Thomas Brochhagen also of @putaupf (Link to the paper and the author's webpages can be found in the comments). 1>11 🧵
"Here is summary of what the talk and the corresponding paper are all about:
"When do languages use the same word for different meanings? The #Goldilocks #Principle in the #lexicon 2>11
It is common for languages to express multiple meanings with the same word, a phenomenon known as "#colexification".For instance, the meanings FINGER and TOE #colexify in the word 'dit' in Catalan (the word 'dit' expresses both meanings),while they do not colexify in English.3>11

2021 has been exciting! We’ve signed our first customer for our maiden flight, reached crucial milestones in our launcher development & our #community grew rapidly. So we want to quickly introduce ourselves to our new followers and recap with the long-time #supporters ⬇️ 1/12
RFA was founded in 2018 to disrupt the #NewSpace industry and match the emerging demand for launch opportunities for small #satellites by providing launch services that are reliable, highly customizable, low-cost and deliver the payloads precisely to the desired orbit. 2/12
Our launch vehicle #RFAONE is a 30m high and 2m wide 3-staged rocket, launching satellites of up to 1350 kg into polar orbits/up to 450 kg into GTO. The main structural elements consist of tanks made of a special stainless steel, which becomes very tough at #cryogenic temp. 3/12

A short thread on a recent publication from @HiyaaLab, in Translational Psychiatry. The study shows that the dendritic structure & electrical properties of adult neurons in healthy brains depend on proactive regulation by the gene Tcf4, a high risk allele for #Schizophrenia.
1/7 Image
The #research reveals unexpected gene-networks, previously known to be involved in ciliary pathways, underlie #structural and #functional integrity of mature neurons in the healthy adult brain.
2/7
Given that the elaborate #dendrites & spines enable a neuron’s physical and electrical connectivity in a #neural circuit, alteration in the structure disrupts neuronal function, affecting the circuits and #cognition. 3/7

"All my friends are dying.",
I realized as I lay on the floor contemplating how to live to 100.

I am dramatic
and obsessed with longevity.
Dramatically obsessed with #healthspan
not #lifespan.

I'm on a quest to live well for a century.

Here's the problem:
🧵
#ship30for30
The problem:
I have no idea what health actually means.

Do we eat meat or not?
Does dairy actually cause cancer?
What about mercury in fish?
Is coffee good or bad?

There's too much conflicting information,
too many buzzwords
and @instagram was making it worse.

#Tweet100
Frustrated, I decided to look at the places where people DID live to 100.
At least I could begin there. These places are called @BlueZones.

Dan Buettner's work studies the world's longest-lived populations and finds best practices.

Turns out, there are only 5 blue zones:

#Pakistani Premier Rules Out Normalization Of Ties With #India

" Normalizing Ties With #NewDelhi At This Point Means Betraying #Kashmiris ," Says Imran Khan
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday ruled out the possibility of normalization of fraught trade & diplomatic relations with longtime rival India , saying it will be tantamount to " #Betraying " Kashmiris .
" Normalizing ties with India at this point means betraying Kashmiris . #Pakistan will never compromise on Kashmiris blood ," #Khan said in a live telephonic conversation with citizens .

1/5 #Deforestation is leading to increasingly #fragmented landscapes🌲
Aim: How do #bats respond to changes in local habitat quality and fragmentation of the wider landscape via investigation of 3 holistic diversity facets #taxonomic, #functional, #phylogenetic🦇

#WBTC #Land1
2/5 Data from #BDFFP in Central #Amazon 🇧🇷 largest & longest running ecological (+40 y/s) study of #fragmentation

• Field work by: @adria_baucells @RicardoNature
• When: 2011-2013
• Sites: 33
• Acoustic data: 281,664 calls
#Bat Species: 21 🦇
• Families: 5

We've got a new proposed #SEC #token #safeharbor that would let issuers offer tokens in the US. It's big. But, what's new? How is it different from the prior proposal? What's new? You guessed it. It's unavoidable, It's inevitable. It's a #THREAD. Let's dive in/1
Right off the top, we have the elimination of the "good faith" provision that was previously implied upon the issuers in a(1) & of a(4) which required the issuer to act in good faith to "create liquidity for users." /2
New section a(5) includes reference to the new "Exit report" which is a new requirment defined and explained further down but tldr; its a report issued by the issuer's counsel that asserts whether the tokens will be a security or not after the 3 year period. Good inclusion /3

🚨New in @PNASNews! We demonstrate that aquatic #biodiversity directly benefits humanity via nutritional benefits of #seafood.
I’m thrilled to share this: it's a BIG one for me, it’s the product of > 7 years (!) of developing ideas & collecting data.
A🧵 pnas.org/content/118/15…
@mioconnor and I bridge the gap between #biodiversity science and human nutrition science & demonstrate mechanistic links between aquatic #biodiversity and human nutritional well-being in the context of #AquaticFoods. Photo of seafood at at market in Papua New Guinea,  courtesy
We answer one of the most pressing questions in ecology:

Does biodiversity per se (species richness and ecological functional diversity), distinct from the identities and abundance of species enhance human well-being?

Functional Gait disorders ("FGD" for the purpose of this #twittorial) are common and disabling, usually accompanied by other symptoms. FGD are challenging for the non #MovDis physician and it can difficult to determine #inconsistencies and #incongruencies during examination.
2/
A good approach is to identify #clinicalSigns to differentiate a #functional vs #organic cause

#Inconsistency is the variability in gait disorder severity over time.
#incongruency involves a combination of symptoms and sins not seen in organic disorders.

What have you learned by using/studying different programming languages?

Here's my personal 🧵thread🧵, but I look forward to seeing your version of this :)

#learning #coding
#PHP: sandboxing the lifecycle and data related to every request is often a good idea.

(@official_php)
#basic (specifically #qbasic): my first language. Thought me to do "basic" things like variables, loops, functions and random numbers.

But, most importantly, it thought me that you can be #creative with #code as I started to use my learnings for generative graphics and audio.

Check out the latest preprint from the lab on "Integration of #Genomic & Multi-tissue #proteomic data in neurodegenerative diseases" lead by @chengran2020 @WUSTLdbbs in @ccrugom lab at @WUSTLmed supported by @cziscience via @medrxivpreprint medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #tweetorial ⬇️
This is the first #proteomic study that uses high throughput pQTL in neurological relevant tissues to identify novel genetic loci regulating protein levels, which will improve our understanding of the biology of #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons, & other neurodegenerative diseases
We identified hundreds of novel pQTLs in CSF, plasma, & Brain linking novel genes, biomarkers and drug targets with #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons

No amount of #assessment is enough to eradicated the need of soft analytics completely. So we have to draw a line and understand when an #UX #interview have gone too far and became hostile. #Hiring #Functional Groups are nothing new in #Software #Industry. How do we hire
establish functional groups like #HR, Scrum Master and PR? A week long #assignment for them too? #Hiring #Managers invest time to evaluate the past work, looking for cues and gaps. Dig deep and ask precise questions to candidate.
A nice read, #Competence #mapping instead of #design titles uxdesign.cc/competence-map…
This happened with Law #Consultants, Doctor Consultants, #Business Consultants and this will happen with #UX Consultants too, because Consultation is a Practice. #UXjobs #UXAssignment

Atendendo a vários pedidos (do @raph_almeida) tá aqui
1RT uma dica sobre desenvolvimento web e carreira, talvez alguns causos...

(bem genérico assim terei assunto 😂)

#nodejs #php #functional #vuejs #devLife #devaTip

(Este bilhete é verdade.)
1. Eu tive muitas dificuldades em entender TDD, a prática era com a realidade.
Até que entendi onde estava o erro.

Não se trata de escrever testes, mas de escrever código testável.
Programação Funcional me ajudou d+, bem como injeção de dependências.
2. Prefiro livros sobre linguagens de programação ou arquitetura do que de frameworks, libs e afins

A chance de defasagem é muito alto, sem contar que muitos são uma "documentação guiada".
