The latest update from the COVID-19 Disease Map consortium is now available as a preprint.

In this work, we show how the map can be used for of disease mechanisms and . With new winter waves beginning, there is still much to be done in this field.

Metabolic footprints are defined as sets of metabolites that can be directly or indirectly influenced by enzyme activity changes. This helps to identify metabolic enzyme deregulations that have systematic impact on metabolic abundances. Tutorial: github.com/saezlab/ocean/blob/

@nakdim Yes, I use daily for collecting papers (one-click plugin in Firefox), for reading (sync to the excellent iPad app), citing (in Word and RStudio mostly) and working with shared libraries (project-specific literature collections together with my students and international collaborations).

As we don’t have elegance or design principles to inform the models having a “throw all the data at it, give something like the right form / constraints and then fit a bonkers big model” is … well… honest to the biology

If we forget about politics for a minute and think about the _practical_ side of scientific publishing, we might find that the two are linked.

Imagine how much easier it would be to verify scientific claims if those claims were made in terms of structured statements (which could also be parsed by machine learning algorithms).

My weekend task: extracting sensible machine-readable text from a scientific journal article. Of course, articles are published using PDF - so any text flow has been completely garbled. Why do we do this in 2022?

Want to help redesign one of the most popular and widely-used tools for researchers?

Zotero is hiring a designer: zotero.org/jobs/ui_designer

Would do it if I could. Ideal for someone else who has great UX / product design chops.

Very interesting #science news - the first SI prefixes since 1991 were announced today at the General Conference on Weights and Measures.
➡️ quetta = \( 10^{30}\), Q
➡️ ronna = \( 10^{27}\), R
➡️ ronto = \( 10^{-27}\), r
➡️ quecto = \( 10^{-30}\), q

For example the mass of an electron is just under one quectogram (1qg).

There is tremendous risk in repeatedly analyzing data as it comes in…

For example, in the absence of any effect, the p-values of repeated t-tests on a growing dataset will randomly walk between 1 and 0!

Thanks to @lakens for inspiring this simulation!
