@queerornithology folks this may be great for you!

Avoid quick online access to medications -- or very personal medical info may be handed to places such as Facebook.
A joint investigation by #STAT and The Markup of 50 direct-to-consumer telehealth companies found that online access to medications often means sensitive medical information they collect is handed to the world’s largest advertising platforms.
Questions like Are you in danger of harming yourself or others? If not, what’s your current opioid and alcohol use?

50 papers by Didier Raoult have been flagged with expressions of concern by PLOS. in an ongoing investigation into >100 articles.

Seems to be the latest in a series of accusations relating to data integrity, conflicts of interest, and other ethical issues.

Feels like wherever you see the word hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, dodgy data is not far away... https://retractionwatch.com/2022/12/13/plos-flags-nearly-50-papers-by-controversial-french-covid-researcher-for-ethics-concerns/

Let's do it - an #introduction I am a #PhD student in #PopulationGenomics working on #oaks. I am enjoying my path from #MountainForestry to #Genomics because it allows me to dig deeper into life and evolution of trees ❤️ I love #bioinformatics even though I still feel like a total #newbe. Currently at #UniversityGöttingen

Setting (and teaching) the right example at the right time: #PeerReview classes at undergraduate level lead to increased scientific literacy and a heightened sense of belonging to the biological #community.

#preLighters Kanika Khanna, Giuliana Clemente, @JACoates & Reinier Prosee highlight an important #preprint from Dr Lijek and team showing that #PeerReview classes at undergraduate level (#MtHolyoke) lead to increased scientific literacy & sense of belonging in STEM.

👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓Job alert! Join my group and work on understanding how force-transmitting protein oligomers at microtubule ends are held together. I have two positions open: one funded by QMUL for three years (home tuition fees covered): https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/dissecting-the-self-interaction-interfaces-within-oligomers-of-human-kinetochore-proteins-binding-to-microtubule-ends/?p152465

The other position is joint by QMUL and China Scholarships Council, for four years, for an eligible Chinese national currently residing anywhere in the world: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/dissecting-the-self-interaction-interfaces-within-oligomers-of-human-kinetochore-proteins-binding-to-microtubule-ends/?p152465

Hello Mastodon 🦣 #Introduction! I’m Oliver (Oli) Jones. I'm a professor of analytical chemistry at RMIT University, in Melbourne Australia. I help develop new analytical technologies and using them to track pollutants in the environment and assess their effects using a biochemistry technique called metabolomics. I work in the intersection of analytical, biochemical and environmental chemistry and am also keen on #scicomm. I am teaching myself #Rstats as a hobby and am a keen runner.

Our latest: Cis-regulatory strategies for morphogen dependent cell fate decisions

Two ways CREs interpret morphogens
1. Differential binding: CREs bind cell type TFs
2. Differential access: availability of CREs is cell type specific

The German botanist Johannes Karl Albert Winkler, who failed Greek lessons, coined "genome" on the pattern of "chromosome" but forgot the "s":

Chromo-some: Color-body (shows up when stained)
Gen-ome: Gene-[nonsense suffix]

Stick that in your meme-ome.
