I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.
Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.

I'm preparing slides for my first conference talk that I've given in...25 years. Yes, I'm an academic biologist and I've not given a conference talk in a quarter of a century. After I gave my last talk as a PhD student, I vowed never to give another. I hated giving talks b/c I got so nervous. Am I nervous now? A bit. I've taught hundreds of classes. But those are students not peers. Why do it after 25 years? Dunno really. Time to get back on the horse. #AcademicChatter

"I didn't think there was anything left for publishers to monetize (after having authors acquire the funding, do the research, write the paper, do the peer review, and correct the page proofs for free while they take in all the profits), but here I stand corrected," he continued, adding that the "research brief" promised in the package "is essentially the abstract that you're writing anyway usually."

There's something pleasantly soothing about these connecting particles…

I thought birds were smarter than that, why would you make a cigarette that big for your beak?

It Is easier if you provide a link, rather than spit out some words and then telling people to Google it.

Cassaforte? Ma che, c'ha i soldi guadagnati in nero? Le dovranno fare una multa per il limite dei 5000€ contanti.

On archive org there is A LOT of music, and since there are no commercials annoying you I beg you to donate something to them, if you can.
Here you can listen (and download, if you want!) Sonny Rollins, "Alfie", 1965.

El correo Gallego nos informa que las pensiones subieron unos 560 pavos mientras los sueldos solo 300 y algo.
Se olvidan que la pensión media es de 1200 mientras el sueldo medio de 1600 pavos.
Puto Instagram que no me deja descargarme las imágenes que subí yo mismo!

sto organizzando un piccolo workshop di 2 ore, online e in inglese, pensato per lo più per i sindacati che vogliono lasciare X e passare a Mastodon. Presentare alcuni tool (cyd, posse) e secondo voi cosa non dovrebbe mancare? se volete partecipare, contattatemi in privato! grazie

I hearby apologize to everyone I once disagreed with re: #fedipact and Threads. That platform is about to go to absolute shit, and I'm gone. Gone! Mark Zuckerberg can go fuck himself.
I'm livid.
But hey, now I'm back solely in non-corporate #fediverse and boy does it feel good. This experience has 100% convinced me that it's literally impossible for corporations to run social media. It always, *always* becomes enshittified.
And again I'm sorry I doubted y'all. You can tell me "I told you so"!
Ok, sono riuscito a popolare la tavola con tutti i 120 valori calcolati! Il DB ha ancora un sacco di problemi, però ora una tavola in più per crearne.
Il calcolo di questi valori tuttavia è terribilmente lento.
Alcuni dei valori più rapidi da calcolare mi permetterebbero di scartare direttamente una molecola senza doverla più considerare, ciò vuol dire che potrei evitare il calcolo degli altri valori.
Mo bisogna vedere quanto codice devo riscrivere per fare ciò, però insomma, con sti calcoli diciamo che siamo passati da 100,000 all'ora a 2,000 o qualcosa così.
Nzomma, non voglio invecchiare guardando una barra di caricamento.

@petersuber thank you, would be good to notify the authors of those papers, they may actually get angry.

More evidence catching #publishers at gaming their journal impact factor (#JIF).
https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.03771
"Sneaked references are references registered in the metadata of publications without being listed in reference section or in the full text of the actual publications where they ought to be found. We document here 80,205 references sneaked in metadata of the International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (#IJISRT). These sneaked references are registered with Crossref and all cite -- thus benefit -- this same journal."
