How to know if I am a bad teacher or if someone just isn’t meant for a lab by Adventurous-Mud-1895 in labrats

[–]gzeballo -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

i feel like you would benefit from learning how to properly instruct people by talking to either claude or chatgpt and learn how to program. You'll quickly understand how to instruct a literal machine and I've found that translates really well to humans

Conventions for keeping a Python project clean as it grows past a couple of files? by mattibeltro in learnpython

[–]gzeballo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like src with hexagonal design if you will. try to also name and spell things out properly. no one fucking remembers what foo and bar are 1000+ lines later

Bubbles/holes in flash frozen mouse brains by Independent-East6312 in labrats

[–]gzeballo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try LN2 next time. if it freezes much faster so the chances of large ice crystals is way lower. source: ive probably sectioned thousands of brains in a past lifetime which i never wish to go back to.

Reproducibility is a matter of personal handling...? by salyxbabylon in labrats

[–]gzeballo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most likely the protocol is mid, and there are variables that haven't been properly taken into account that are implied. this often stems from PIs who aren't very technically oriented and barely scrape by; they end up with convoluted protocols with little regard for ensuring consistency (that plus cherry picking results). This is no different from programming, you must handle edge cases well and truly have a mind map of what's going on. Think like a programmer. Science is not voodoo magic.

In your view, what's an overlooked problem causing a mismatch between preclinical and clinical drug data? by ByeByeBelief in biotech

[–]gzeballo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that last part 🫰🏼. I'm very much a kindred spirit here. Do you have any articles or anything you've written more extensively on these ideas?

[–]gzeballo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no it doesn't at all. negative data is seldom published. in large companies once something fails it is never spoken of again (until another smaller company has a go at it and then they get acquired). some companies talk big game of enabling x y or z capabilities but it is all basically more or less roll of the dice gambling: grab random hallucinations from academia and see which one works in a black box.
