Dear #ScienceMastodon #laboratory #management, any tips to prevent ppl hiding common reagents in their boxes? It seems like restriction enzymes and RT reagents are very popular to be kept under private storage. Hiding reagents reduces budget spending efficiency. Suggestions please ?

Excited to share our latest paper @[email protected]. Together with another paper of ours in 2019 (also @[email protected]), we described a Ca2+ signaling pathway that is important for genome protection during replication stress. Congratulations to Shan Li, Lingzhen Kong and other co-authors! https://twitter.com/MolecularCell/status/1617913886476492801

Scientists-in-training: find the mentor that is right for you. Here are my guidelines for how to do that 🧵
1. Make sure to choose a mentor who will be deeply committed to your career; someone who will continue advising and supporting you well after your time working together.

Few academics openly talk about #ChatGPT and #OpenAI. I think we should. It will advance science, not the other way around. A 🧵.
Happy new year to my Twitter connects! Is there a genetic explanation why cats love cardboard boxes? She would not get in if she can read German. Or does she?
Can someone explain to me why cats are crazy about cardboard boxes?
Verschenken = free to take in German. Of course I am not giving away my old lady for free. She took the box we used for old toys…
I sometimes regret my choice to practice disruptive science as #NewPI. Students are excited, motivated and devoted, but I am afraid that current system offers less than sufficient rewards for us. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04577-5
‘Disruptive’ science has declined — and no one knows why

The proportion of publications that send a field in a new direction has plummeted over the last half-century.

Our data suggest that genome evolution is largely driven by damage occurring in mature sperm and the consecutive outcome of the maternal DNA repair of the paternal genome in the zygote https://twitter.com/schumacherbj/status/1605596989885804544
