Maybe another word on the '#unredacted Fauci emails', now that it is clear that there were no cover-ups or suppression of #lableak, but just neutral #scientific discussion.
Observe how lableak advocates will run their #disinformation playbook, we've seen this before.

Ph.D admission decisions are kicking in & many students are going through rounds of interviews. Here are a few tips that I’ve learnt and shared over the years.

(1/19) First of all, let’s start off by acknowledging that PhD admission is extremely competitive. You're prolly fighting for an average of 5-30 spots out of hundreds/thousands of applicants. Attempting itself is a win. Kudos !👏🏿

(2/19) Money is at the stake. What does this mean? Someone out there is willing to take a risk on you & guaranteeing that you’ll be taken care of for 5-6 years. Your tuition, fees, health insurance, & monthly living allowance are all paid for by the dept.

After 6 months of #lockdown and #lab shutdown I spent a full day 9 am-8 pm in lab doing experiments! New #grad students in #lifesciences: There is always light 💡 and #fluorescent images at the end of the tunnel! Filing a #patent on my #invention from #phd work soon @OrganOnAChip
This is an Organ on a Chip platform that enables mimicking #tissues and #organs in a high throughput manner! The main focus will be towards developing #mucosal organs with tissue resident #immune cells and lining #epithelial cells for #testing #COVID19 treatments #covidvaccines
I recently gave a talk at #oooc2020 organized by @GVNlab at @Columbia. In the talk I demonstrated the #ease of fabrication, #functionality, and #modularity of this platform.

Posting some reflections on the #ACTT & #RECOVERY trials related to #remdesivir & #dexamethasone for the treatment of #COVID19
Those results feel like definitive advances, but we need to realize their limitations and need for confirmation despite everyone's #pandemic fatigue

There are lot of skeptics in and outside of #Twitter on the results of both trials, strong emotions regarding big-pharma made medications, the way the #EUA was made, also about use of #steroids in the #ICU that has a quite rocky history among those who run those units.
And we need to acknowledge from the outset all sorts of basic, and not so basic, emotions that come in the doing clinical trials, exacerbated by academic cliques, national defense issues (and nationalisms) that can get exacerbated with the strains in health systems.
#Python tip: #hypothesis is good at finding bugs; however, often as not, the bug is in your understanding of what the code is supposed to do.

Initial belief: The JSON module is buggy because #hypothesis finds cases that don't round-trip.
Bugs in understanding:
* The JSON spec doesn't have NaNs
* A JSON module feature is that lists and tuples both serialize into arrays but can't be distinguished when deserialized.

There's been a story in a UK tabloid (that I won't name), and @BBCRadio4 of all places; that #rocket #salad causes #cancer due to high levels of #nitrates in the leaves. Here's my take, and what's wrong with the thinking behind it.

It's true, #rocket #leaves are hyperaccumulators of #nitrates ; this isn't anything new. It's been known for a long time. Other crops with high nitrate content include #spinach and #watercress

Lets talk about #StockMarket participation & #SocialInteraction...
Here is a question: If you go to church with, or you are a neighbour to someone that participates in the #StockMarket, do you think being in their company can lead to you (given you aren't a retail investor) participating in the stock market?
I am currently engaged in a #Research wherein I explore the reasons why and the reasons why not retail investors participate in the #StockMarket. I am also looking at the reasons why a private company would choose to go public & list its shares on a stock exchange...
Tonight we have a special installment of #MitoMonday as @ClaireBensard hosts a #Tweetorial on her recent paper in @CellMetabolism #LateNightWithTheRutterLab
Can a specific metabolic program provoke a cell to become a cancer cell? Focusing mainly on glucose, with some thoughts on fatty acids, and glutamine, we tested the uncoupling of glycolysis and glucose oxidation to induce the transformation from stem cell to cancer cell. 2/
Long ago, Otto Warburg observed that cancer cells perform aerobic glycolysis, but we didn’t know how a cell could control flux from cytosolic glycolysis to mitochondrial glucose oxidation until the transporter was identified…bit.ly/2RDELqe #MPC 3/

CI is supposed to run in the background, whenever you push changes—but if you’re stuck waiting for the tests to run, it’s not in the background, is it? @gsaslis #DevopsDays
Paper proposes that changes to the maternal gut #microbiome during #pregnancy alter levels of microbial #metabolites (including neurotransmitters + neuropeptides)👉 If these metabolites cross the placental barrier, they may impact fetal #brain development:ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
It follows that gut #microbiome dysbiosis in the mother may change how #microbial metabolites regulate + prime infant #microglia and other neuroimmune cells 👉 This dysregulation may contribute to the development of neurodevelopmental disorders including #autism:
Quote from paper 👉 “We address an emerging #hypothesis behind neurodevelopmental disorders, which implicates #microbiome dysbiosis in the atypical programming of neuroimmune cells, namely microglia”: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
