@tillgrallert @Prof_BearB @kwalz @rstats @politicalscience Interesting, maybe I'm writing simpler code, but I find Copilot quite impressive most times. I guess it depends what you ask it to do. Also, does wonders for LaTeX.

I just served as a @pcirr recommender for a cool piece of research by Alley, Axt, and Flake. They will determine whether data from students and crowdsourced online platforms measure the same thing.

Thanks to our wonderful reviewers @itchyshin and Benjamin Farrar!

I really like the idea of microPublications. This one is an intriguing observation:

micropublication.org/journals/

I’m sure many labs have some interesting results tucked away that suit this format.

Wow, we've reached new heights... just got a email from a journal using anti spam-filter techniques straight out of the 90s... (which obviously work with the crappy spam filters our uni uses...)

I have created a little R interface to deconvolute assay data.

This is based on Brown 2008 - Inferring gene expression dynamics from reporter protein levels (but does not include volume correction)

The app also reports initial rate, maximum and decay rate

It is available here, for anyone to enjoy, modify etc

Anyone know a good review paper / learning resource for building gene regulatory networks #GRN from #scATACseq #ATACseq and/or #scRNAseq data?
Thanks!

At the local primary school, the children sing a Mother’s day song with the lyric

“My mum’s ever so clever. She may not have a degree,
But she can help with my homework and that’s what matters to me.”

After many complaints the school have agreed to change the lyric (hooray!). To:

“… even though she’s got a degree,”

Which simultaneously makes having a degree sound bad and also shaming Mum’s without degrees.

Further damage to the dysfunctional academic career system in Germany: The government has just presented its reform of the fixed term contract law (#WissZeitVG).
After years of #IchbinHanna protests, the max. length of fixed contracts for postdocs has been reduced to 3 years. The cynical argument: Careers become more predictable, because 3 years after your PhD, it's either professorship, third party funding, or exit.
The lack of a broader tenure track system makes this a devastating development.

Oh, man. This comic — from 1993 — could NOT be more relevant today. As usual, Bill Watterson hits it out of the park.

@Aschniedermann and then postdocs leave academia for industry... guess why!

@clathrin My guess is we now get people from other institutes within the University, who would have not come in person otherwise (campus is on different areas of the city)

@clathrin We're running hybrid seminars and I think overall we're back at pre-COVID numbers. Probably 50/50 in person/online

@malwaretech I think it is quite interesting though, in that it shows that most exams are badly designed. It's also interesting that GPT4 is still very bad at English Literature and English Language...
This should really push us towards improving the quality of assessments.

What I really find scary in the GPT4 white paper is section 2.9 'Potential for Risky Emergent Behaviors'.

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

@vicgrinberg "Elogio dell'imperfezione" ("In Praise of Imperfection" in the English translation) by Rita Levi-Montalcini.

It looks like the English version is out of print, but you can find it used.
