15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

Rankings are always reductive and oversimplified. Except this one that just put us at #1, which is clearly based on rigorous methodology.

Tomorrow at 5pm UTC Python: The Documentary produced by @cultrepo.bsky.social premieres on YouTube! 🎬🐍

From a side project in Amsterdam to a language shaping the world— discover the story of #Python. Featuring Guido van Rossum & many more!

Python: The Documentary | An origin story
This is the story of the world's most beloved programming language: Python. What began as a side project in Amsterdam during the 1990s became the software powering artificial intelligence, data science and some of the world’s biggest companies. But Python's future wasn't certain; at one point it almost disappeared. This 90-minute documentary features Guido van Rossum, Travis Oliphant, Barry Warsaw, and many more, and they tell the story of Python’s rise, its community-driven evolution, the conflicts that almost tore it apart, and the language’s impact on... well… everything. Thanks to our sponsors for making this documentary possible: Anaconda: https://www.anaconda.com/ @AnacondaInc.

Interesting new paper on “A Dozen Challenges in Causality and Causal Inference.” After 30+ years of progress in causal inference, the authors lay out the biggest challenges in current research. Good teaching resource!

Coding county-level data in Virginia is interesting. In Virginia, 38 independent cities are not part of any county and are treated as county-equivalents by the U.S. Census Bureau. Also, South Boston is a VA town.

Remembering on Liberation Day 🇳🇱. The soldiers at Margraten, NL, many in their 20s and 30s, fought and died for our freedom. Their sacrifice reminds us: freedom has a price, we must always be prepared to defend it.
