Looks interesting, Heng Li proposes a faster #BUSCO: "miniBUSCO achieves a 14-fold speedup over BUSCO. Furthermore, miniBUSCO reports a more accurate completeness of 99.6% than BUSCO’s completeness of 95.7%, which is in close agreement with the annotation completeness of 99.5% for T2T-CHM13"

Harvard professor Francesca Gino, who studies 'Honesty', has been accused of using fraudulent data in her research. Gino has been accused of fabricating data on four different research papers spanning over a decade. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/24/business/economy/francesca-gino-harvard-dishonesty.html

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his opinion, is not a war criminal. Putin puppet Orban needs to be made to heel. NATO needs a suspension and removal mechanism for when states no longer meet requirements.

Cada día que pasa queda más clara la impertinencia de la política oficial de la Iglesia española de que "la ropa sucia se lava en casa" cuando cada día que pasa queda más evidente que la suciedad no está en la ropa, está en la casa https://elpais.com/sociedad/2023-06-26/la-iglesia-espanola-se-enfrenta-ya-a-mas-de-1000-acusados-de-pederastia.html

Sorting out sorting machinery with proximity proteomics
Beverley Wilson, Chloe Flett, Patrick Caswell, et al. use proximity labelling to investigate the Rab4 and Rab11 recycling pathways and identify new machinery that regulates cancer cell migration.

New Nature article looks at how to end misogyny and inequalities in science

Don’t get mad, get equal: putting an end to misogyny in science
Subtle forms of misogyny attack female leadership and coerce women to conform to conventional gender norms. It’s time to call out these behaviours, say Alison Bentley and Rachael Garrett.

Researchers might be willing to take on risky projects if they could be insured against that risk, with wages that didn't depend on the vicissitudes of scientific fortune.

But you can't completely ensure against the failure to get results, because bad luck is indistinguishable from loafing and you need to somehow incentivize effort.
