🤦‍♂️ Genome-wide methylation scan in... 60 subjects. Two CpG sites were "borderline significant" (i.e., not significant) in a microRNA that regulates all kind of stuff. And this is the headline... 🙄 #clickbait #shmoxytocin #shmepigenetics
Paper is here. Abstract reads VERY differently from the @newscientist piece... (Lots of borderlines and potentials and putatives...)
@newscientist <waits for @EpgntxEinstein and @dsquintana's heads to explode...>

A typical example of neurobollocks on gender: Girls vs. Boys: Brain Differences Might Explain Tech Behaviors wsj.com/articles/girls… via @WSJ
@WSJ It would be a perfectly fine article except for all the appeals to neuroimaging, which is presented as scientific proof but which really shows nothing at all.
@WSJ These are complex social behaviors affected by all kinds of things, including societal expectations, cultural norms, differential marketing, etc. Brain differences may also be at play, but to claim they are responsible is simplistic

Beyond reductionism – systems biology gets dynamic
wiringthebrain.com/2019/09/beyond… - my latest blogpost looks at how new technologies are reviving old theories and neglected philosophies in biology
cc @hangingnoodles @Abebab @evantthompson @C4COMPUTATION @matthewcobb @ewanbirney @yoginho Beyond reductionism – systems biology gets dynamic wiringthebrain.com/2019/09/beyond…
In which I examine how tools to measure huge numbers of components (such as genes or neurons) + compute low-dimensional manifolds of system dynamics are bringing experimental rigor to theories of enactivism + process philosophy wiringthebrain.com/2019/09/beyond…

Taekook AU.

Jeongguk knew it'd be a bad trip to Las Vegas when he heard that Taehyung guy was coming too. He only came because Yoongi said he'd set his iron man figure on fire if he wouldn't. But waking up next to the same Tae with a ring in his finger WASN'T PART OF THE PLAN!
-Jeon Jeongguk
-23 years old
-A broke uni student
-Not so good at his lessons
-Except for the dance club
-Might be because of all the stupid parties Yoongi and Jin drags him to
- He might suck at asking people out but he gets a lot of actions anyway
-Kim Taehyung
-24 years old
-He's friendly with almost everyone at Uni
-But only a few people know about his private life
-His parents are actors
-He's a natural flirt and gets on with whoever he wants
-Almost everyone at Uni hit on him
-Photography Department student

Can someone explain how does pricing work for all the eCommerce websites like @myntra First screenshot shows the product which I had bought when not on sale and on sale the price was inflated to almost 3X with 25% off?
Do sellers have control over the pricing or @myntra has it?
@myntra Unlike Uber / Ola which has dynamic pricing on supply and demand. How does this work in eCommerce? The third screenshot shows the pricing of the same product changes almost every day! How is this possible and legal at the same time?
@myntra I understand that every #e-commerce inflates the price around the sale. But @myntra takes it to the next level altogether. Just wanna understand how is legal. What loophole in the system is being taken advantage?

#Eğitim ve #YKS19 hakkındaki tartışmalar devam ederken, #Fransa'da Napolyon'un emriyle 1808'den beri uygulanan "bac" sınavından söz etmekte fayda var.

Bu, her lise öğrencisinin mezuniyet için geçmek zorunda olduğu açık uçlu bir sınav.

Sorulara birkaç örnek vermek istiyorum:
• İnsanlık kendisi hakkında illüzyonlar yaratmaya mahkum mudur?

• Bilimsel bir hipotezi ispatlayabilir miyiz?

• Gerçeği aramak bizim görevimiz midir?

• Devlet olmadan daha özgür olur muyduk?

• Doğal arzular gerçek olabilir mi?

• Çalışmanın tek amacı faydalı olmak mı?
• Her inanç, mantığa ters olmak zorunda mıdır?

• Geçmişin tutsakları mıyız?

• Teknolojik gelişmeler özgürlüğümüzü tehdit eder mi?

• İmkansızı arzulamak absürt mü?

• Teknik gelişmeler insanları dönüştürür mü?

• Dil, düşünceye ihanet eder mi?

Nachdem ich eben über die negativen Seiten der Erkrankung geschrieben habe, versuche ich jetzt die positiven Seiten dazustellen (auch um mich wieder etwas aufzubauen) Thread
Durch den intensiven Zugang zu Gefühlen sind positive Gefühle sehr toll. Ich kann Sex sehr gut genießen auch deshalb. Ich kann bei Musik emotional mitschwingen oder bei Geschichten.
Ich kann gut Dinge tun, die Emotionen verlangen oder ausdrücken z.B. Musik machen, Theater usw. Durch die Schwingungsfähigkeit kann ich Menschen beistehen und ihnen, wenn möglich, auch professionell helfen.

@NYTObits writes of John Gunderson: "He was adamant over the years that psychiatric drugs did not help resolve #borderline symptoms." nyti.ms/2E6UmHv This statement is narrowly true. In lectures, he specified circumstances that warrant the use of a range of medications...
6 months ago, while arguing against widespread use of lamotrigine in #BPD, Gunderson wrote, "Clinical experience has shown that medications can help build an alliance, can relieve states of distress, and can sometimes be helpful for comorbid disorders." ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/ap…
He spoke of instances when mood stabilizers, #SSRIs, and even antipsychotics might be of use. He spoke out against the overuse of medication but saw a role for judicious use in clinical management. ucdenver.edu/academics/coll…

Jason Coffman is still searching for his son, Cody Coffman, who was at #Borderline when the shooting occurred. He said Cody's friend described the scene;

"It was chaotic, just like any normal shooting."

Read that statement again & let it sink in.
"#NormalShooting" #GunSenseNOW
And sadly, Jason Coffman finally got confirmation that his son, Cody, is dead.
