How can a single cell learn without a brain or nervous system? We explore this in my new preprint with @WallaceUcsf! We discovered that central features of learning in single cells can be accounted for by a model based on receptor inactivation 🧵 1/n

tbh this is the best article on feminism I've read in years. "Choice feminism is inherently deradicalizing — if your feminist framework uplifts all choices equally then it doesn’t really stand for anything at all.".

"As we gain understanding, these results can become less stochastic by refining our experimental design. This isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. An updated theory of the case is science working not science breaking.".
When two of the same experiment get different results in different hands, that often means some critical variable wasn’t controlled for when repeated and we have an incomplete understanding of important factors at play. As we gain understanding, these results can become less.
