As I celebrate my birthday today, I have decided that for the rest of year, every day I share a song that I like. Music has helped in my lowest moments. Hope it helps others too!

I'm at point where my entire career will vanish if Gmail, Drive, Outlook, Teams, Dropbox, and MacBook vanish.

People using Chat GPT to write clearly think that it makes their writing better. It doesn’t. It makes it so much worse, and everyone sounds the same, and it’s SO OBVIOUS to everyone but them.

In light of James Watson's death, I post this article which clarifies Rosalind Franklin's contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA. It is richer than the conventional narrative. https://t.co/BW5abtUUba

Nature - Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Can a government that cannot guarantee clean air lecture the people about harms of smoking?

James Watson, who won the Nobel for "discovering the structure of DNA," has died. He wasn’t a particularly deep or productive scientist. Rosalind Franklin did the hard technical work. Francis Crick had the real theoretical brilliance. Watson mostly got lucky by standing near

Sorry to say but had he been alive he would have stolen any good research ideas that you have and then delivered a "scientific talk" on how brown women are inferior to white women. People should really learn about history of science and medicine.

James Watson wasn't just any racist. He was a eugenicist, who believed that certain races were genetically superior to others. He used his social capital (including the Nobel tag) to propagate that scientifically debunked view. Thanks to the likes of him, Nazism thrives in 2025.

Why do many bioinformatics model quietly lean on Random Forest? Biological data is different from your .txt or .csv data, too many features and very very few samples. Say 20,000 genes from 50 patients. This imbalance leads to overfitting. Random Forest thrives here. They

Dude, the REAL blueprint for DNA? Rosalind Franklin’s Photo 51, her X-ray diffraction image that her colleague Maurice Wilkins sneaked to James Watson behind her back. Zero credit in the 1953 paper. She died at 37 from cancer and watched from the grave as the boys grabbed the

Reminds me of a commentary by a systems modeler about a Nature paper on global economic impacts of climate change that did not account for spatial autocorrelation. The guy wrote the paper the way you talk to a 4 year old to explain them 2+2. It was hilarious.
"We instrument an endogenous variable using the geographic average of that same variable of the neighboring areas."

The physician–scientist track (MD/PhD) in academic medical centers has become one of the great illusions of modern science - a path that promises to unite medicine and science but rarely fulfills either goal. Training stretches on for years as one person is expected to learn two
