1/ You think RNA equals protein? Not always. If you're doing bioinformatics without understanding biology, you're flying blind. 🧵

Reinaldo Azevedo foi no alvo: A extrema direita, e boa parte da direita, nunca fez absolutamente nada pela segurança pública além de promover chacinas. O Brasil tem cinco presídios federais: quatro foram construídos por Lula e o quinto, embora entregue por Temer, também foi obra

People say, “you become the average of your five closest friends.” But in tissues, a perturbed cell does NOT simply become the average of its nearest neighbors. Sometimes a cell breaks from the crowd. Sometimes signals travel far. Sometimes niches overpower proximity. That is

Brazil's transformation into a large trade surplus country is unique in EM. But the current account deficit remains wide, as lots of the farms that export crops are foreign owned, so the profits from the trade surplus go abroad. That will change over time. https://t.co/QnUm8ZFrJ5

Apenas 10,6% das solicitações de bolsas do edital 049/2024 do CNPq serão atendidas, mesmo com um aumento de 17% na demanda em relação ao ano passado. O CNPq parece caminhar para um grande apagão e precisa de uma recomposição emergencial de recursos.

Holy shit...Stanford just built a system that converts research papers into working AI agents. It’s called Paper2Agent, and it literally: • Recreates the method in the paper • Applies it to your own dataset • Answers questions like the author This changes how we do science

Rapaz, que mensagem certeira do Ministro Fernando Haddad após oposição deixar “caducar” a taxação BBB: “Não foi descuido, foi escolha”. O ministro ainda completou dizendo: “ Os direitos do povo são inegociáveis e o futuro do país não será sacrificado num tabuleiro de interesses

Science is not a contest to be won. It’s a collective pursuit of truth that evolves with evidence - not a debate settled by opinion or the loudest voice.

You can not do Bioinformatics with hard cutoffs and thresholds Let me tell you something real: Biology is more about p-values. It’s messier than that. 🧵
