On Tuesday I had the pleasure of moderating a great panel on #longcovid with Akiko Iwasaki, Carmen Scheibenbogen, Michael Edelstein and Marc Lecuit. The video is up here now for anyone who wants to catch up on it:

Check out the academics on mastodon list!
github.com/nathanlesage/academ

In particular, there's psychology and neuroscience lists of people to follow.
Neuroscience: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
Psychology: kaitclark.github.io/mastodon-p
(no stats list alas)

I like to follow the neuroscience@a.gup.pe group as well for neuroscience.

Some related instances to check out:
neuromatch.social (neuro)
synapse.cafe (neuro)
sciences.social (social science)
bayes.club (Bayesian statistics)
sigmoid.social (machine learning)

A board of scientific advisors voted today to recommend strengthening the government's oversight of research on potential pathogens. Here's my story with Ben Mueller nytimes.com/2023/01/27/science

"Using a novel multi-cell type, human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived lung organoid (LO) system, validated against primary lung cells, we found that inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production and (IFN) responses are dynamically regulated autonomously within the lung following infection, an intrinsic defense mechanism mediated by surfactant proteins"

💥 New preprint out today

We conclusively demonstrate that mutational events caused by molnupiravir treatment can be seen in globally sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes, in some cases with onwards transmission.

@NicoleCRust That's an interesting thought, thanks. This is a much better space for storytelling - there were some epic threads on the Other Site, but they were the exception.

#Creativity as an antidote to research becoming too predictable

In this #openaccess commentary, Markus Baer, Anja Groth, Anders Lund & Katrine Sonne-Hansen argue why risk-taking and blue-sky research needs to be actively fostered in budding scientists

"Once thought to be close to eradication, cholera is back—dehydrating and killing people within hours and ravaging communities across six continents. Despite the alarming numbers of cases and deaths over the past year, decision makers are averting their eyes, leaving people to die from a preventable and treatable disease."

Friday Flyday!

Here's a marvelous ephydrid brine fly I photographed recently along the beach in Warrnambool, Australia, where this species was quite common. Couldn't put a name to it, in spite of the distinctive markings.

@NicoleCRust For me the toughest part, where you have to be ruthless, is in step 4: cutting the things that you really liked at the outset that don't work for the finished piece.

All the early drafts of the piece below had a long section on the Long Island farmer who brings a sick hen to Peyton Rous at Rockefeller. It was my favorite bit. But in the end, it broke the flow of the story, and so I cut it.

Hey friends! I’m looking to level up my #mastodon game 😎

Specifically, I’m looking to see more targeted content from #neuroscience, #imaging, #psychology, #statistics, and related communities.

I already follow quite a few people from the bird platform—anything else I can do? Favorite servers you’d recommend? Tags? Anyone experimented with an (gasp) #algorithm?

Thanks in advance 😊 Either way, I’m enjoying the experiment and appreciate seeing so many colleagues trying things out here 🙌🏽
