Has anyone else noticed recent bugs with MyNCBI filters? There seems to be some pretty bad unexpected behaviour.

I have finally, after many months, finished the complete Diary of Samuel Pepys. Monumental. What a singular piece of work. It's impossible to compare against anything else.

One of the dumbest self-owns of Google for researchers is this: paste a research paper title into the google search bar. The paper will be the top hit, and it will indicate the google scholar citation count, but will not provide a google scholar link to follow the citations.

Tom Lehrer's mastery of meter and rhyme was so good that he wrote an entire song shitting on Bob Dylan in 1965.

As an undergraduate who loved physical chemistry and was just starting biology, I thought the Meselson-Stahl experiment was the coolest thing ever. It was so simple in its application of physical theory and experiment to prove a biological truth that it was perfect. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/s...

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

How can one efficiently simulate phylodynamics for populations with billions of individuals, as is typical in many applications, e.g., viral evolution and cancer genomics? In this work with M. Celentano, @wsdewitt.github.io , & S. Prillo, we provide a solution. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

What Vinay Prasad is proposing is scientific misconduct that would violate legally-mandated institutional review board review in the United States. He has never conducted a randomized control trial. He is not a scientist. He is a fraud.

Today I'm taking the lab for a social outing on a boat, and have worked hard to fit in. Should be seamless.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Very interesting and appealing paper for many reasons. So far my only critique is the use of paperpile for links to references.
Thrilled to share our latest work—Lyra shows how principled AI design can democratize biological sequence modeling, bringing it to scientists everywhere.

🧬 Meet Lyra, a new paradigm for accessible, powerful modeling of biological sequences. Lyra is a lightweight SSM achieving SOTA performance across DNA, RNA, and protein tasks—yet up to 120,000x smaller than foundation models (ESM, Evo). Bonus: you can train it on your Mac.

Who is fact-checking Trump's fake trade numbers country by country? #Singapore doesn't impose a tariff on US imports and has *never* run a trade surplus with the US, but Trump imposed a 10% tariff based on a fabricated 10% tariff on US exports to Singapore.

This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

Singapore, an island nation of < 6 million people, has sent an 80 person team from its civil defense, while the US has sent nothing.
China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.

While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.
