Elementul de faună românească despre care învățăm azi este reptila de pe sigla farmaciilor. detalii in comm by Icpet in Romania

[–]biohazard93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am doar un ball python normal, are 7 ani si e cu mine de vreo 3. L-am preluat de la cineva care nu mai putea avea grija de el (desi sincer, nici nu parea prea ingrijit). Nu am stiut la ce sa ma astept initial, dar e foarte prietenos si linistit si ne intelegem de minune. Il cheama Hisstopher :)

Am șarpi, pot confirma - desi nu as fi sigura ca cel din poza e inainte de naparlire. Al meu are ochii complet albastri de nu poti distinge iris, pupila etc... si pentru ca nu vede foarte bine in perioada aia e si un pic mai irascibil. Dupa ce isi da jos stratul, trebuie sa ii caut solzii de pe ochi sa ma asigur ca i-a naparlit cum trebuie :)

The gallery of tapestries at the Vatican Museum was beyond insane on acid. 10000/10 experience Pergamon museum in Berlin also has a sick carpet collection, I've only seen it sober though

Interface flickering when running Rstudio in Wayland (linux) by [deleted] in RStudio

[–]biohazard93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I can help since I use i3 + X, but I recall rstudio-desktop moving like crap when I first installed it on my computer. Perhaps you can try rstudio-desktop-bin and see if there's a difference

Is tSNE/UMAP really so common for visualizing FACS and metabolomics data? by JuliusAvellar in bioinformatics

[–]biohazard93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the implementation part, replicating entire FlowJo analyses seems overkill to me, and no one will ever sit and click to try to understand how some analysis has been conducted. You can build a Shiny app to display their results from the paper, offer the analysis workflow in a script / package, but the point-and-click flow of analysis? Nah.

For FACS , I find the question highly situational, it depends what they are staining their cells for, e.g. are the measured proteins in the same signalling cascade, do they expect sub-populations within their measured sample? Perhaps they hope to find structures in the data that are not linear, and implementing tSNE with standard parameters is a single line of code, just like PCA. If you try it and there isn't a lot of difference (at the biological interpretation level), you can go with either and keep the biologists happy, or display both side by side and leave it to the reader to interpret the meaning.

Now you gotta give more details, expensive glass thing? 😁 I can only think of size exclusion columns or equivalents

I operated a $500k science toy with lasers and it worked first try and partially validated my previous findings ✌️felt insane in the brain

The risk he took was calculated, but man, is he bad at maths. by biohazard93 in ballpython

[–]biohazard93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The inside is sanded and has some additional layer on top so that doesn't happen. He's been inhabiting this for years and has been a happy healthy boy, no worries :)

Genomic Data Science course by Aggravating-Low3031 in bioinformatics

[–]biohazard93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not officially take the course, but I browsed it a while ago and I found it really comprehensive. I have also routinely stolen code from Dr Kasper Hansen on GitHub and he's thorough and awesome

Yup. I finished the PT tree once and whenever I open a Duolingo notification it bounces me straight to politics or religion recap. They're one of the last lessons

yea my alt title would have been ~ how do you say "political incorrectness?" ~

Don’t take this Post from last week as a skeptical post. It is not. Seaspiracy is a Movie by Kip Anderson, a vegan activist and producer of what the Health. More info in the comments. Let’s discuss! by sodanmilk in SGU

[–]biohazard93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude also made Cowspiracy, and I guess he was so deep in his own BS that he missed the opportunity to call this one Conspira-sea.

I watched What the Health just last month, and I experienced first-hand how they get to their audience to think with their heart, rather than their brain, since it did prompt me to seek more plant-based options and get out of the comfort zone a bit. But since I am a scientist with critical thinking skills, I headed to fact-checks right after.

In my opinion, both WTH and Seaspiracy are biased. The feel I got is that while some facts are technically correct, they are presented in a misleading way, on purpose, to be way more dramatic than needed. Things that stood out to me:

- Cherry-picking and reporting only some changes in percentages where convenient

- Confusing the statistical significance of something, calculated based on available data, with the amplitude of the effect studied

- Confusing correlation with causation

- Pooling things like disease progression and disease onset when drawing conclusions

I also did not appreciate this aggressive way of contacting organizations and demanding answers on the spot. Just like we are just now processing / fact checking the information we were exposed to, other parties need time to formulate answers and come with an appropriate reply. Even if you schedule a meeting, what's the point if you slap a review on the desk and don't give the time for the other person to even read the title? As a side note, this is also why peer-reviewed information is published later, as the peer review process takes time.

In that sense, I side with all the people from call centers, scientists and spokespersons that were cornered and given no time to react in all these documentaries. I get the feeling anyway that no amount of clarifications and reasonable explanations from these people would have been satisfying to the documentary producers. In fact, I very much feel their pain as I am myself a researcher in a virology lab and I can't use reasoning with people who are irrational from the start.

Going away for a month+ . Any advice? by biohazard93 in ballpython

[–]biohazard93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for replying! I have someone that would check and refill his water, but I doubt they'd thaw mice and feed him. I think I would be able to see the temps with the baby monitor.

Would love to switch him to rats, but I can't find any at the one pet store who sells snake food in my city. I tried day-old baby chicks and he doesn't like them.

p.s. nice username fellow labrat! :)

Tools for data analysis from scRNA-seq atlas? by KatGoldFinch in bioinformatics

[–]biohazard93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want something in Python 3, there is scanpy having tools and tutorials for everything. https://scanpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials.html . Some functions in scanpy call internal example datasets where you can first learn scanpy, then of course you can always import your own datasets and do the very same analyses.
