"oh."

Welcome move from #EMBO: "We now consider publications in #journals and #refereed #preprints equal" for the purpose of applying to be an EMBO Postdoctoral Fellow.

It’s hard to believe but—no, actually, it’s not hard to believe. Justice Alito, palling around and accepting private junkets from billionaires with business before the Court? Another scandal rocks SCOTUS. I break it down in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/scotus-has-alito-problem?sd=pf

Apropos of nothing in particular.

Ha ha Ted Kacynski what a weird modernity-hating freak. Anyway, back to this tech billionaire who killing children with his robot-car alpha tests and turning a virtual town square into a incel klan rally

🌟 Exciting #PhD Opportunity in Artificial Intelligence for Molecular Discovery! 🌟

You will harness the power of #AI for good by developing reinforcement learning tools to analyze small molecule mass spectrometry data.

Submit your application by June 8 to Prof. Dr. Louis-Felix Nothias (louisfelix.nothias@gmail.com) and Prof. Dr. Wout Bittremieux (wout.bittremieux@uantwerpen.be). Send us your motivation letter, along with your CV highlighting your academic achievements and relevant experiences.

How mature are the identification algorithms for top-down #proteomics? If we use two different algorithms on the same data, do we see the same proteoforms? I was recently lucky enough to invest two whole years in top-down #bioinformatics, courtesy of Julia Chamot-Rooke. Kyowon Jeong invested some serious time to teach me about #deconvolution, too! We feature new data from Mowei Zhou for #phosphorylation proteomics.

The biggest tech innovations of the last 10 years. 😁

Numerous sources claim that TurnItIn has a generative AI detector with something like 98% sensitivity and 99% specificity.

For example, the Washington Post, below.

This is completely implausible given that OpenAI themselves only claim to be able to achieve 26% sensitivity and 91% specificity.

So where does this wild claim come from? I think I've figured it out.

I'm pleased to share that I have received the Metabolites 2022 Young Investigator Award.

This is a testament to the importance of #computational #massspectrometry research in #metabolomics, and I'm excited to continue contributing powerful bioinformatics tools with my lab.

Clarence Thomas is not alone. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has also benefitted financially from parties with an interest in the high court’s business while neglecting to disclose the relationship. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/neil-gorsuch-supreme-court-ethics-scandal-1234723374/

"Gorsuch did not disclose the identity of the purchaser. That box was left blank."

Now that's just consciousness of guilt, because he knew how it looked to suddenly sell his property to the chief executive of a massive law firm with regular business before SCOTUS.

FIRE notes that TPUSA targeted 61 professors in 2021. FIRE doesn’t note that it sponsored a TPUSA “free speech” event in 2017. One of my criticisms of FIRE is that it occasionally has difficulty distinguishing between free speech supporters and people who support speech they agree with.
