In a major initiative led by Brazilian researchers to test reproducibility in biomedical studies, only 21% of experiments were successfully replicated 🤯. Check out the article and my comment on it! 👇🏻

Huge reproducibility project fails to validate dozens of biomedical studies
Unique reproducibility effort in Brazil focuses on common methods rather than a single field ― and prompts call for reform.

"Because of public skepticism, it is not settled science" is a profoundly anti-scientific view. It's embracing the notion that grifters can overcome truth with sheer volume, that truth itself isn't based in observable reality but in the scope of consensus.

According to a former editor of JAMA, we need more studies on whether or not vaccines cause autism.

What mistakes does he make?

🧵
Interesting that some Senators criticized @DrJBhattacharya for saying he would fund research at the @NIH to show that vaccines do not cause autism. The critics argued that this was 'settled science.' Yes, there is compelling evidence against the vaccine-autism relationship. However, a large swath of the public do not believe it. Because of public skepticism, it is not settled science. There is a need for further research intentending to convince the public regarding vaccine safety. It is not good enough to say "I am a scientist at a prestigious university, and you should believe what I say because of who I am." That does not work anymore, especially after the pandemic when science's reputation took a big hit...

Nature research paper: A systems-level, semi-quantitative landscape of metabolic flux in C. elegans

A systems-level, semi-quantitative landscape of metabolic flux in C. elegans - Nature
A strategy is introduced that infers whole-animal metabolic flux wiring from transcriptional phenotypes in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and several features in its adult metabolism are discovered that are validated by stable isotope tracing.

A study in Nature Medicine provides a comprehensive map of the contributions of environment and genetics to mortality and incidence of common age-related diseases, suggesting that the exposome shapes distinct patterns of disease and mortality risk. #Medsky 🧪
Integrating the environmental and genetic architectures of aging and mortality - Nature Medicine
Based on a systematic analysis of environmental exposures associated with aging and mortality in the UK Biobank, the relative contributions of such exposures and genetic risk for mortality and a range of age-related diseases were compared, highlighting the potential beneficial effects of environment-focused interventions.
