If you just go to these primary studies, you realize NONE of them support the conclusion of the meta-analysis. Brutal.
If you adjust the math accordingly, you find that there's just 2 relevant studies (Bangladesh and Denmark), and both say: MASKS WORK
RT @c0nc0rdance
Do masks work to interrupt the transmission of most respiratory viruses? I'm as confident in that fact as I am that parachutes reduce injury and death when skydiving, regardless of what the headlines say.
Stefan Schlatt is looking for a post-doc (or experienced graduate student) to work on his DFG-funded project. The deadline for application is the 8th of March.

he paper - "Linking human Dead end 1 (DND1) variants to male infertility employing zebrafish embryos" is published. In this paper, we show that the Dead end protein, originally identified in zebrafish is important for male fertility in humans.

Important thread about GO analysis!

I want to talk today about a methodological issue in #genomics research that has been around a long time but is still a major problem.
The reason is that today I reviewed another manuscript that has this exact problem.

Paternal age effects in the news!

A healthy man produces between 60 and 100 million sperm every day but that number decreases with age.
The older a man gets, the higher the likelihood that his kids will be born with disabilities.

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student to join our team and work on the development of the urogenital tract by using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.
Please do not hesitate to contact us !!

Two things to notice as we consider trust signals for journals:
1) Impact Factor "provided by Cosmos Foundation". i.e. this is not an Impact Factor. The journal is not indexed by WOS; it has not been selected* by Clarivate editors. 1/2 https://twitter.com/StephenBHeard/status/1625455766965522432
This is hilarious and so typical of scientists vs governments/officials dealing with this kind of stuff.

The only required class for Caltech physics PhDs used to be Lunch with Robbie (Rochus Vogt, former provost). Robbie told us about the time when, as a grad student during the Cold War, he sent a balloon over the USSR … 🧶

More women and girls in science equals a better future for all.
We must promote gender equality in science by affirming women’s rights & breaking down stereotypes.
Let's all do our part to fill classrooms, laboratories & boardrooms with women scientists.
