After 10+ years working with #metabolomics mass-spectrometry data, you would think I wouldn't be surprised any more.
However, I'm surprised every time when a method or tool uses non-log-transformed abundances into a standard t-test or another semi-normal distribution assuming statistical framework. 🤦♂️
Seriously, we need more statistically minded people in #metabolomics / #lipidomics.

In this fight, arguments count. Not only your praise, but also any criticism. ANYTHING YOU SAY IN YOUR REVIEW CAN BE USED AGAINST THE PROPOSAL. So if you say: "This is a good proposal, but I have the following suggestions", the "but" part kills it.
Yes, you are an expert. Yes, you'd like to give open and honest feedback to the authors to help them improve. That's fine if the proposal should not be funded; your feedback will help. But if you _want_ the work funded, leave your suggestions home.

We are excited to announce that the team and proposal described in this blog post has been awarded funding by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative ! This announcement may be cross-posted on the websites of several collaborating organizations of this grant.
Please RT. Competitively paying postdoc opportunity at USDA. Can be remote.
Upcoming or recent PhD graduates who have interest in conducting applied microbiology, genomics, metagenomics, and/or bioinformatics research with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This is a phenomenal opportunity that can be remote, but if applicants have more interest in conducting wet lab research there are certainly plenty of opportunities to do so at the USDA-NCAH campus in Ames, IA.

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
OK, this is an experiment posting longer pieces to #ScienceMastodon, so consider this 1/n.
I wanted to share a fascinating piece of #ScienceHistory that I stumbled across not long ago while rummaging through old papers from early #genetics labs at the University of Texas. Deep in boxes of classic reprints, I found correspondence between Barbara McClintock, the famed Cold Spring Harbor labs maize geneticist, and UT fly geneticist Wilson Stone.
Subworkflows functionality has officially landed on @nf_core !! It's getting easier to build those @nextflowio pipelines 🤖 Massive thanks to everyone involved! 💪
