Computation is not the hard part of discovery.

Its not just what makes the news. There is a cooling effect happening in recruiting international talent. Science is heavily international, and if people feel like they won't get f…

As an 'at home' science project? Totally do-able, but very expensive. I did it as part of epidemiological field with a backpack of materials, so you can definitly do it at home. As…

Simple, excellent data. Thanks.

Is it excessive? Expensive, certainly, but if I wanted cheap I'd go live in shack in the mountains.

Thats not true at all. If anything, they will read the figures and skip the introduction. If it is your field, you don't need an intro, and don't want to hear whatever yarn they ar…

Agreed. Seeing million dollar sequencers on ebay for a few thousand bucks makes me want to reach for my wallet, but the I realize there are no reagents for it anyway.

Short of plopping a million dollars on the table, you could not.

This entire demo is just a surveillance state dog-whistle. "It's used for car theft!" except the intended use is obviously target government buyers for tracking citizens.

Which led to the discovery of a marijuana grow operation below the factory. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/27/nyregion/secret-marijuana...

I do not want some working on my body unlicensed and educated by chatgpt.

Technically neat, artistically uncanny. There's been vector based tweening and animation software for a bit an it always comes out looking strange.

Prevention is cheaper than treatment.

There has been a lot of talk the last several years about the risks of screening, but in my opinion people have taken this as an opportunity to swing in the opposite extreme. The m…

Hyperbole. I am not going to avoid any reasonable treatment/screen because of it. It was intended to catch asymptomatic cancer. Additional invasive screenings are voluntary and lik…

I did this recently. Paid out of pocket, but it was worth it for the peace of mind. It's not perfect but it's easy/fast and a good way to screen for big problems.

This research was primarily done at John's Hopkins in Baltimore and funded by NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

I think our impasse is for some reason you have this idea that PI's hate their work / are gaming the system. I just don't understand where you are coming from. Maybe that's true so…

>Difficulty is not value. Extremely talented people are doing arbitrary waste work. Grants are hard, not because of admin/paperwork, but because coming up with a novel idea is hard…

You have no idea what you are talking about, and yes you are buying into (or actively promoting) anti-intellectualism. >1. Our top researchers are wasting their time and energy pro…

Having an excess PhD level citizens is every free countries wet dream. Its bonkers that people think it is somehow a negative. It is a recipe for innovation. Most of those people w…

This is anti-intellectual propaganda. Seriously, 90%? None of what you said is happening at anywhere near that scale. Touch grass.
