The minimal intrinsic stochasticity of constitutively expressed eukaryotic genes is sub-Poissonian

https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.adh5138

"Our findings redefine the lower limit of eukaryotic gene expression noise and uncover molecular requirements for achieving ultralow noise, which is expected to be important for vital cellular functions."

All The Right Friends: how does Google Scholar rank co-authors?

Developer note: Nearly every single one of my projects has started with these 3 thoughts:

1. That'd be cool.
2. It can't be that hard.
3. It should only take me a few hours to do.

Then I spend the next month* riding the Dunning Kruger wave - realising there's so much I don't know that I don't know! - and thinking my past self a fool for ever thinking this was possible.

...

It is nice when they occasionally pan out...

@mort @12thRITS Exactly this. The question is ill-posed, which is a much deeper problem that many people pontificating on data analysis and presentation don't even seem to be aware of. There is no substitute for taste and good judgement. One way to present things like climate data is to take the first derivative, so you end up with a natural zero and can see departures from it in either direction.

If the world's most powerful loss prevention wizard were to cast a totalizing anti-shoplifting spell and all the larceny on earth instantly ceased, antiquated corporate box stores in half-empty strip malls would still be dying.

like pinching a star from the night sky as dawn approaches, shoplifting is inconsequential in the face of the impending demise that these bloated corporate levitations teeter on the edge of.

The outcry over a shoplifting crisis are the death throes of their existence.

@albertcardona I'd even argue that if all your professors don't accomplish much other than reasonably good undergraduate teaching and modest research findings, they've done their jobs and you're all good. It's really hard to know what qualifies as modest vs outstanding research findings anyway. @NicoleCRust

This is insane - a 48 hour time lapse of chick embryo neurons on the move https://www.nikonsmallworld.com/galleries/2023-small-world-in-motion-competition/developing-neurons-connecting-the-opposite-side-of-the-central-nervous-system #Nikon #SmallWorld

It can happen to the best of us.

Finally fixed my app that plots null and alternative distributions and power for an independent t-test https://shiny.ieis.tue.nl/d_p_power/. I use this a lot in education to 1) teach that p values are uniformly distributed if there is no effect 1/5

Fantastic talk by Joe Cheng at #positconf2023 on using #shiny with #quartopub.

I've made an #rstats Quarto book demo with a wasm-embedded shiny app to demonstrate how class boundaries change with the complexity of natural splines.

If you've like me, you've found the "how much pain are you in on a scale of 0-10" question annoying to answer because everyone's 0-10 varies so much. Well, I wanted to share the new DVPRS pain scale, which defines 0-10 by how much it's impairing your life.
