I stopped posting here a long time ago when X took a sharp right turn into the gutter. But I miss Science Twitter. Now it looks like it’s being reconstituted at Bluesky! I’ll be at bsky.app/profile/slinnarsson… (to get started finding people, look for ”starter packs”)

Seriously @MIT - ”CRISPR-based genome editing tools developed by MIT professor and McGovern investigator Feng Zhang, Abudayyeh, Gootenberg, and others” - ”others” is doing a lot of work in that sentence… (but @zhangf Fanzors are very cool) news.mit.edu/2023/thousands-…

Human brain atlas papers by @kimsiletti @MossiAlejandro @ka_wai_rine @ErnestArenasSWE @EmelieBraun1 @MiriDanan Rebecca Hodge Trygve Bakken Ed Lein @LarsBorm Elin Vinsland Erik Sundström and many others. With a stunning double cover illustration by @IKapustova
In 21 papers across Science, @ScienceAdvances, and @ScienceTM, researchers with the #BICCN consortium present an atlas of the human and nonhuman primate brain in unprecedented detail. The results uncover the genetic organization of the human brain. scim.ag/4ro

I am shocked at the violence and barbary displayed today by Hamas and its followers. My thoughts are with all my scientist friends in Israel, at Weizmann, Technion and elsewhere. Be safe, be safe.
קהילת מכון ויצמן מתאחדת בצער עמוק על מותם של חפים מפשע ומייחלת להחלמתם של הפצועים ולשובם של השבויים, החטופים והנעדרים בשלום. בשעה קשה זו, אנו מחזקים את תושבי כל ישראל, כוחות הביטחון וההצלה ומקווים לימים שקטים יותר. שמרו על עצמכם ועצמכן. In light of the recent events, the Weizmann Institute community extends its deepest sorrow for the loss of life, and hopes for a full recovery of those who have been injured and safe return of those who have been abducted or missing. In this dark hour, we send our support to citizens across Israel, IDF soldiers, security forces, and rescue workers, and we hope for better days ahead. Stay safe.

Incredibly proud, and a bit nervous, to share the first major cancer paper from my group. For all the details, link to data, code and preprint, see thread below by @MossiAlejandro. Here, I will instead discuss one specific insight that was key in making sense of our data. (1/n)

I will talk about two mysteries, and how the solutions to the two mysteries may be related. I will use plain language and omit many caveats; see the paper for the full details. (2/n)

Good news: Nobel Foundation reverses course and again disinvites the Russian ambassador.

What a sad day for the Nobel Prize. The decision to invite the Russian ambassador must be reversed. I for sure am not going to party with war criminals or their henchmen. I expect there will be many empty chairs, including on the podium.

If the LK-99 ”car crash” is our alternative I’m all in tbh. Most entertaining public peer review I’ve ever seen, and not worse in the end than your standard editor-controlled year-long back and forth away from the public eye.
If you still think peer review is a bad idea: Look at the absolute car crash that the superconductor discussion on twitter is This is your alternative. Without peer review journals would look like that

A few months ago, I got an email: ”Congratulation - Best Paper Award in Theoretical Computer and Information Sciences: Bioinformatics”. Supposedly for our paper ”RNA velocity of single cells” (with Peter Kharchenko @KharchenkoLab) 🧵

The email offered 25,000 dollars, on condition that we accept the award in person, in the Great Hall of the People, next to Tiananmen square, ”in presence of leaders of China”.

Classic, carefully worded, non-denial denial. The story did not claim that Leica Camera AG does business in Russia, but that - instead of shutting down - it simply renamed its subsidiary. @leica_camera please either confirm or deny the story; until then, no more Leica for me.
Replying to @IuliiaMendel
In response to the war against Ukraine, Leica Camera AG has consequently ceased all business activities in Russia in 2022. For this reason alone, Leica Camera AG followed strict rules and has never violated sanctions. The last delivery of the sport optics products to the Russian subsidiary took place in February 2022. Furthermore, there is a long-term strict company policy that we do not distribute sports optics products for military purposes.

Been away from Twitter a while and now noticed this weird middle button at the bottom that looks like a diving bell… WTH are these things? What did I do to deserve them?
