I'm looking for some input from the bloggers/blog enjoyers on this forum for what ya'll think is the best way to run a personal blog. I'm open to building it from scratch myself an…

This paper is interesting but I want to point out there is a difference between a research paper showing that something is hypothetically feasible and something that is actually us…

That's definitely a danger zone for healthy people but interestingly enough people with things like COPD may have a blood oxygen level in the 80s and while that is indicative of th…

Methylene blue is actually used to treat acquired cases of a similar condition called methemeglobinemia which is when the iron in heme is oxide from Fe2+ to Fe3+ [1]. This is diffe…

I guess a better way to put that would have been "what is the significance of being able to run protein mass-spec by an order of magnitude faster" The article links this to Alzheim…

There was quite a bit of fluff here so I only skimmed the article but the major takeaway here is that they figured out how to run protein mass-spec "by an order of magnitude" faste…

I like the quip that AI raises the floor not the ceiling. I think it helps the bottom 20% perform more like the middle 50% but doesn't do much for people at the top.

I know someone with a PhD in biochemistry who was hired at Intel from a cancer research lab... I'm sure he sold his chemistry background well but I always thought that was an odd h…

"We found no evidence of increasing risk with a larger area of total tattooed body surface." Without a dose response, I'm inclined to believe that the increase in lymphoma seen in …

I'm stoked to see an article shedding some light on this! Yes, the best practices for how we treat concussions is shifting and some people are not getting the best advice post-conc…

Lately, I've come to the conclusion that WFH tends to benefit older devs with more experience at the expense of their younger colleagues. If you are established/experienced and alr…

Here's the meat of the post: "To study this, Koff and his collaborators around the world are using existing samples, stored in biobanks, and sequencing vast numbers of crucial lymp…

I am open to the idea that someone from a background outside of academia could come up with some really brilliant scientific work. I just know that I am not capable of discerning w…
