A nice discussion on the "best human cell line" in the Quantixed blog: https://quantixed.org/2022/10/01/line-up-recommendations-for-the-best-human-cell-line/

In 2024, the average cell biology preprint on bioRxiv gets ~50% of its views in the first 4-5 days after posting. And 75% of all views in its first month.

CW: Twitter migration
@steveroyle Saw your comment on Xitter, with your helpful advice on how to make the leap:
https://quantixed.org/2024/08/14/exodus-moving-to-mastodon/
& just followed you here.As an Excel user inclined to switch to LibreOffice when I escape from corporate world, intrigued by the comment on R, of which I know little. Any particular starting points you'd recommend?

If anyone is interested in twelve-pentagon-plus-variable-number-of-hexagon shapes, I wrote something about them a few years ago

Given that "the era of exponential growth in academic research is over", Casey Bergman had (2012) some advice for senior academics:
"3) For established academics: you came up during the halcyon days of growth in science, so bear in mind that you had it easy relative to those trying to make it today. So when you set your expectations for your students or junior colleagues in terms of performance, recruitment or tenure, be sure to take on board that they have it much harder now than you did at the corresponding point in your career [see points 1) and 2)]. A corollary of this point is that anyone actually succeeding in science now and in the future is (on average) probably better trained and works harder than you (at the corresponding point in your career), so on the whole you are probably dealing with someone who is more qualified for their job than you would be. So don’t judge your junior colleagues with out-of-date views (that you might not be able to achieve yourself in the current climate) and promote values from a bygone era of incessant growth. Instead, adjust your views of success for the 21st century and seek to promote a sustainable model of scientific career development that will fuel innovation for the next hundred years."

It's the #Pareto principle. The estimation is that Spotify will eliminate 82.7% of tracks from royalties, as they fall below 1K stream minimum.

Reposting this code snippet from Jerôme Mutterer on the bad place. I thought this was so neat:
Drawing #hexagons in #ImageJ```
newImage("hexagons","8-bit black",512,512,1);
run("Macro...","code=s=40;s2=round(s*sqrt(3)/2);v=(d<getWidth/2)*255*((x%s2<1)&&((y+0.5*s*(x%(2*s2)<1))%s<1))");
run("Voronoi");
setMinAndMax(0,1);

Hot take after using copilot in RStudio for half an hour. Time saved slightly greater than time wasted.
Two examples:
1. Gave me a complex 20 line routine to get a ggplot (yay). Needed quite a bit of debugging to actually work and/or do what I want (boo).
2. Got an error, asked it what the error meant, it gave me a stackoverflow url (yay). Turned out to be a hallucination (boo). -
Just noticed that bioRxiv are tracking Mastodon clickthroughs from their preprint bots using `?med=mas`
I normally delete the tracking stuff from URLs, but anything showing the power of #TeamMastodon is cool with me! -
Trying out #Whalebird as a desktop Mastodon client. Familiar slack workspace feel to it so far. I prefer apps to browser tabs and quite liked #Mastonaut but it seemed a bit limited.
-
Does anyone know why Mastonaut sometimes does this?
Seems to be when it has trouble loading Notifications from the server. Screenshot taken from an account on mstdn.science just now.

I spent a good chunk of today writing my first #groovy script. As in, groovy the language, although I thought it was groovy when it (finally) worked.
It's to automate #TrackMate analysis in #Fiji #ImageJ. I couldn't find an example on the web that did the job. Will post it ASAP as I'm sure it will be useful to others.

@OpenForum A small language model is one that uses 8-bit floats. Did I win?

An international research team successfully observed a quantized transverse Hall drift of light for the first time, demonstrating that photons can drift in perfectly defined, universal steps analogous to electrons subjected to intense magnetic fields.

@gutenberg_org The first #QuantumTheory explaining the quantized properties of atoms was #JohnDalton ‘s #AtomicTheory a century earlier than Planck’s quantum theory and the Franck-Hertz experiment.
His ca 1803 theory explained the quantization of MASS in atoms and molecules! 🤔

Loop quantum gravity suggests spacetime is not continuous but quantised, leading to new insights into black holes and the early universe. In the article, explore how far this idea goes and where it falls short.
