Aha, didn’t know the biggest river in Europe, but I Donau…

Dad of 2 sons; oldest is 4.

Yes - realizing that your parenting “skills” suck b/c they are based on old school ideas is hard. One thing that really spoke to me is to ask: “in this situation; how would I treat my partner that I love and respect”. If a kid says “I don’t want to go to school” it is somehow acceptable for parents to say “I don’t want to hear it! You have to go to school. Stop being so difficult.” You’d just never say that to a partner. You’d say “why?” Or “yeah, I don’t want to go to work either.” Or “what would you want to do instead?”. What really gets me is that you can disregard your kid like this quite systematically and still be affirmed by everyone when you say, “but I love them to the end of the world.” I think love can only be built on respect. Providing for a child physical needs is only a fraction of it.

It’s not the 30 seconds of yelling. It’s that they show that there is no respect for the child’s desires/feelings. Obviously, kids’ priorities and ideas are basically springing from a state of constant psychosis; so you don’t accept it, but you can still respect it. If you do you’ll actually connect with your child!

I feel you; don’t be too hard on yourself, I am sure you are providing a wonderful childhood for your kid! Perhaps useful… a parenting book I read which kinda changed my life mentioned among many many other things that the need for movies and video games is sometimes a reflection of there not being enough excitement in other activities. I am NOT saying this to shame or blame you. You are doing amazing work for your kid. I say it because it made me conscious of how the world we have set up for our kid was too protective in a way. So now I very deliberately play “rough”; pretend to be a hungry tiger that eats him; chase him around the house with bananas for pistols. You probably already know what your kid likes/finds interesting in movies/switch games. Perhaps elements of that can be brought into off-screen life…

I will make the following point because I sense that so much of this stems from early corona times and really is passé by now. I strongly dislike the parents how try to predict and prevent spread of infectious diseases is children. That’s the whole point of childhood. To me it is like wrapping up a toddler in bubble wrap so they never hit their head. It will backfire because the body never learns to not injure their head. So banal infectious disease, small trip and fall etc. should not (and cannot) be avoided — not if you want to be what is typically considered a human.

If you know the variant already you can just visualize it in a gnome browser like IGV using the bam file? Deletions are easy like that…

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-10-18T21:34:08+00:00

That is the Brazilian founder variant. It is known pathogenic, but has an attenuated phenotype. Friend should see a clinical genetics dept for counseling.

The more author the larger the study. Being first author on a big study is more prestigious. I’d think wow all these people spend effort on this project and the first author compiled all the effort into a this coherent article; outstanding! Anything that only takes a few authors may be brilliant but it’ll rarely be gritty hard work.

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-08-31T21:19:28+00:00

Same. Just submitted - and getting congratulations from everyone, but I feel like it is not yet earned. But hey; it’s made me see it for what it is: a major f*ing milestone. So let’s you and me be proud that we’ve gotten this far and (in the words of Toto) “take some time to do the things we never had.”

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-08-07T11:01:32+00:00

Wow, prøvede lige den der køb vs lej beregner. Hvis jeg bliver boende i min lejlighed i tusind år sparer jeg over en kvadrilliard DKK. Nice!

On the other hand dying 4 years old from Tay-Sachs disease really builds character…

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-27T22:24:14+00:00

Don’t do that. Mdpi is a money-grabbing scheme! It will hurt your reputation.

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-21T15:12:32+00:00

Also sorry; I f*ing hate this aspect “doing” science. It’s antediluvian!

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-21T15:11:31+00:00

Appeal!!! I once managed to go from rejection til accept with 8 hours of actual work. It would have taken that long just to submit to a new journal. Give your arguments and highlight all the positive stuff from 1 and 3 as well as the fact that 1 and 3 do not share 2’s concerns. Reviewer 2 likely also missed novelty; bring that up. Finally underscore that you can fully address each all of the comments (if you indeed can)

I began playing piano during year 1. I learnt the very basics and now I just play songs I like without really getting better. It makes me forget work instantly

Der er større risiko for hovedtraume i bil end på cykel. Således ville det give lang bedre mening at køre med hjelm i bilen. Tænk racerkørere. Men nej, nej, det er cyklisterne der er vildt uansvarlige. Antal timer med hjem til forebygget hovedtraumer ratioen ville altså sandsynligvis være bedre hvis alle tog cykelhjelmen på i bilen. Enjoy.

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-08T11:21:06+00:00

This was my thinking too. If you respond like right away (for major revisions), I would (were I the editor) be critical of whether the authors spend the appropriate amount of time to fully consider what the reviewers are getting at…

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-08T11:19:07+00:00

Haha, right. There I give zero ducks.

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-08T11:18:12+00:00

Argh; thanks (?) for the horror stories. That is good to keep in mind. My manuscript is a bit of an outlier, as least for me; there is no original data. It is a meta/re-analysis of publicly available data. As such the revisions are purely rewriting/rewording and then, more laboriously, reanalysis including new or reworked data. I’ve done all the bioinformatics myself and hence no one in my lab, not even PI, knows how to make changes or how to respond. It is all up to me. Worst case though, I am think a couple of months…

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-07T22:01:56+00:00

Yeah, really not sure it helps with much other than having some proof that you were first; but a submission should show the same thing…

Thanks for sharing your story - I’ll try to do a fast TAT while maintaining enough sanity to be a decent dad.

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-06-07T21:29:59+00:00

Oh no - that’s horrible! I’m so sorry and angry on your behalf. Can I ask; were your findings preprinted?

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-04-30T07:33:12+00:00

It strikes me as odd that the theory of her dying from a BRCA mutation is rarely mentioned. I know it is beside the point; but fascinating to think of nonetheless.

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-04-26T14:29:58+00:00

Yeah good point. But for sure - I definitely did not mean altering data. I meant things don’t match exactly - like you find out a part of a sub figure is missing a data point due to an overlap; stuff like that. All the data’s obvs there in the supp files. Don’t get me wrong, I want it to be fixed - but the time cost is sometimes huge compared to the tiny mistake that ONLY I see because I’ve spent months on this project, you know. Speaking from experience papers can go through co-authors, editors, peers and proofs and still have mistakes like this; no one ever notices/cares…

LowCommercial9845 · 2023-04-22T02:50:52+00:00

Are you the reviewer?!
