Predatory journal spam: have you noticed that the messages target a specific article you wrote in the past? For the last few days, about half of the messages I get from "different” senders mention a 2016 paper from my lab. I guess it suggests the messages are linked, because it's a bit unlikely otherwise.

More detailed histories of #libraries and #information #infrastructure please. “In this way, SUPARS is meaningful as both a design far ahead of its time and as a counterexample to established techno-utopian histories of the internet and the world wide web.” https://aeon.co/essays/the-1970s-librarians-who-revolutionised-the-challenge-of-search

"Our investigation reveals that the fetal HSCs respond to T. gondii infection with virulence-dependent changes in proliferation, self-renewal potential, and lineage output. Furthermore, maternal IFNγ crosses the fetal–maternal interface, where it is perceived by fetal HSCs."

'Meanwhile, a large cache of gene variants thought to be unique to humans, because they are found in Homo sapiens but not in the archaic human relatives called Neanderthals and Denisovans, has turned out to be widespread across primates. Almost two-thirds of the variants thought to be solely human were present in at least one other primate species, and more than half were found in two or more.'

Adam Mastroianni discusses the stifling of science innovation by treating it as a "weak-link problem" (here: https://www.experimental-history.com/p/science-is-a-strong-link-problem).

In the same way... I just wonder whether we're missing a drive to find real, innovative solutions because we're so worried about only reaching for answers we are allowed to think about.

The speaker started their talk by saying the method might seem immediately problematic, but gave a number of reasons it was ultimately likely to be safe. 15 minutes later it was time for questions.

And so I asked my question (paraphrased): "so imagining you did this, what targets would you try to validate the approach?"

The room stifled their laughter and the speaker looked at me like I had just advised an entire nation to drink bleach.
