New job, new life, new house ( thanks to blr landlords)
New is good. But when all new things happen at the same time it fucks you up I have been exhausted for the past 6 months straight. Excited, but exhausted. how to take a break from life?

I need all the AI people to stop saying "biology" when they mean "medicine" or "drug development"

AI deep research reviews dozens of sources and writes a structured report. Yet the most trustworthy sources, like peer-reviewed journals, are off-limits to it: they cost money ↓

The em dash vanished from machine text because it annoyed readers, and from human text because writers kept getting mistaken for bots. Now the detector punishes the human for writing like a machine and rewards the machine for writing like a human ↓

Science communicators spend a lot of time trying to get people to engage with their content.
We wrote about why comment sections might be one of the most overlooked spaces for science communication, and how to participate without a science lesson.

خسته شدم از بس توی ریسرچ و کارهام از AI استفاده کردم. حس می‌کنم همه چی داره سطحی و مصنوعی می‌شه. انقدر بهش وابسته شدم که انگار سهم خودم، فکر کردنم و خلاقیتم توی کارهام داره کم‌رنگ می‌شه.
نمی‌تونم هم بذارمش کنار، چون کند می‌شم و از بقیه که دارن ازش استفاده می‌کنن عقب می‌مونم.
cutting edge this, cutting edge that, how about you cut a cake and chill instead of labelling every mid idea as cutting edge

it's biotech for a reason, and not techbio
all the folks who recently started working with biology and biologists, please understand, biology is slow and there's a good freaking reason for it.
living systems are complex. experiments fail cuz tons of unpredictable variables.

1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria.
2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae.
3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish.
The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists follow their curiosity. This is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!
