We’re growing @ArcadiaScience and are always on the lookout for talent, particularly to run new pilot projects that can develop into larger efforts that will contribute to our broader goals. This requires at least some fluency with both computational and wet lab work to iterate.

It really needs to be harder to accidentally make a phone call or insert a useless sticker on @signalapp.

Offer to sit with someone to make them more comfortable and answer questions as they post their first preprint — it’ll demystify and lower the activation energy for one of the greatest unlocks for science. It’s an exceptionally rewarding and impactful activity that takes so.

People are dunking on Nate here but he’s way more right than they are. I don’t believe in journal peer review compared to public discourse and long term reuse, validation, testing being infinitely more substantive than opinions upon first manifestation (+1 on lost cause) …but he.
Academic journals might be a lost cause but they'd probably be better if you had some non-academic practitioners serving as reviewers. Journalists have their problems too but they have much better bullshit detectors, for instance.

It’s the word “enfeeblement” that I’m so taken with here lol. Great thread.
german word for the enfeeblement of word meanings over time, when words with grave meanings turn into humorous versions of themselves, not to be taken seriously: Wortentkräftung.

I’m looking for the next generation of open science pioneers. Here are some examples just to get the juices flowing:. - are you putting your reviewer energy into open constructive/critical discourse commenting on preprints, blogs, social media or other venues instead of at.
Open science can sometimes been seen as a risk but IME there are definitely people out there doing research more openly to advance science despite that. If you're in academia or industry and have taken action to push the needle to make your research, science, data etc. more.

Thrilled we're getting tons of interest from the community looking to follow along and participate! We'll be working on a concerted effort to keep in touch with folks – but for now, if you're interested, please get in touch via the google form in the post below so we can learn a.

IMO the incalculable but broadly-accepted risk is journal-imprisoned science. We are opting out of the norms, inertia, and artificial scarcity of this system dictating the bounds of what we can achieve + testing out for those who feel they can’t what it might look like to live in.
Frontier problem (protein dynamics not static imaging), attempting integrated solution (hardware and software, multiple groups), new publishing approach (no journals). RISK. 🤤 (That makes sense for the problem, not arbitrary.). Kudos to scientists experimenting with this model!

Happy @diffUSEproject launch day! Check out our latest effort. We're grappling with how to better understand protein dynamics and capture/share the information that would best allow the community to make use of that data. Take a look!.
What’s the next PDB? Maybe it’s …the PDB. We just launched @diffUSEproject, a structural biology initiative exploring protein motion & rethinking how we generate and use experimental data. Quick 🧵👇.
