"Scientists learn to be authors by reading what has gone before and acquainting themselves with the literature. It’s clear then, that researchers pick up the unspoken message that method sections should be short, and minimal on detail."

“Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.”

"When you hate ..."
Bertrand Russell (1954)
“When you hate, you generate a reciprocal hate. When individuals hate each other, the harm is finite; but when great groups of nations hate each other, the harm may be infinite and absolute. Do not fall back upon the thought that those whom you hate deserve to be hated. I do not know whether anybody deserves to be hated, but I do know that hatred of those whom we believe to be evil is not what will redeem mankind.”
— Bertrand Russell

TATTOO-seq delineates spatial and cell type–specific regulatory programs in the developing limb #singlecell #devbio #SpatialTranscriptomics

'But the authors are particularly set off by the habit of referring to the unfolded state as some sort of unique form common to most proteins, whether this unfolding is done by excess heat, lack of heat, pressure changes, chemical means, or whatever.
I can see their point. This is an example of “reification”, the philosophical mistake of “turning something into a thing” when it isn’t actually a separate entity or even a real one.'

I am reading Bianchi's classic from 1895, "The functions of the frontal lobes", and I love the introduction ("with wholly unprejudiced mind, I began...") and the method of testing the electrical current ("I used to test the strength of current on my tongue"). The latter is clearly unhealthy, but even a few years ago the process for getting a gigaseal was somewhat similar... (yuck).

What's in a name?
'One of the simplest ways to classify proteins is into bins called “folded” and “unfolded”, and many of us slide into that shorthand when describing them. But it’s too simple. There are proteins that adopt a consistent three-dimensional structure that is nonetheless wrong, which are better categorized as “misfolded”, and there are proteins that have distinct regions (or sometimes the whole protein) that never adopt such a fixed structure at all, which we generally call “disordered”.'

"CSL’s Hemgenix costs $3.5mn per dose, which makes it the most expensive drug in the world. Skysona and Zynteglo, which are gene therapies targeting a rare childhood brain disease and an inherited blood disorder, developed by the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotech Bluebird Bio, are the second- and third-most expensive drugs on the market. They are priced at $3mn and $2.8mn per dose, respectively."

Hello #ScienceMastodon. Journal of Experimental Biology #J_ExpBiol is an online #journal published by @Co_Biologists. Led by Editor-in-Chief Craig Franklin, we publish research across the breadth of the #comparativephysiology #biomechanics and #neuroethology.
We’ll be tooting about our #research papers, #interviews and #editorials We’re also committed to supporting early-career researchers, so we’ll be sharing information on our initiatives for #ECRs.
