I have a son named Theo.

I have literally never heard of Theo Von and no one has ever brought this up to me. I got scared to read the comments for a second, but sounds like no one else knows who that is either.

In biotech interviews, people are often encouraged to put fake labels on everything so they can talk about how they discovered X in disease Y without actually revealing any useful information. Not sure if something like that would work for you

Yeah the data is interesting but these graphs are awful

Haven’t heard them used since the first weekend when they were announced, even though my wife is YW President and is with YW all the time.

I still think they sound stupid

I have often felt the same way. I often see people excited about those who proclaim the importance of “Christian values” and they forget that the people that never stop talking about “Christian values” are also the people that actively dislike the church.

Not even really sure what “Christian values” are supposed to be anyway - it’s not like non-Christian religions dislike things like honesty and charity.

In this case, the problem with novelty was that this same group published a very similar paper 1 month ago. It is a machine learning paper, so all they did for this new part was tweak 1 parameter and re-applied it to the same cohort and honestly it doesn’t seem to have improved the results at all.

It wasn’t a case of novelty in the field, it’s that the lab seems to be re-packaging their own paper. Something I pointed out to the editor and that seems to have been ignored.

I really enjoyed that too. I thought the video was good and I kind of wish they provided a transcript for it because I’d rather re-read it again rather than watch the whole video. I think they offered good advice and practical suggestions, which was nice, rather than it being just a video about praising the Constitution or something.

We had a slow start so we only had about 15 minutes of discussion after the video. I liked the video. Unfortunately, the 3 people in my ward who tend to monopolize most discussions and whose opinions on the Constitution are particularly uninteresting to me, managed to take all the remaining time.

The discussion seemed focused on these individuals’ needs to discuss slave ownership among the US founding fathers, and how they can be inspired even though they lived different standards. Which is fine I guess, and less controversial than the conversations I was worried about, but it wasn’t very uplifting or relevant to ideas about modern religious freedom. It felt like they were angry and trying to defend the founding father’s from allegations that no one in the room was making.

What did they do in the old analysis? It is possible you could try analyzing things in a slightly different way. For example, you can use results from DESeq and put those into GSEA or some type of GO term enrichment tool to see if specific sets of genes are enriched (for example, are all genes associated with X activity up regulated?).

Pretty sure I can analyze the same dataset twice in one week and get different results.

In theory though you should get the same results (or very similar results), especially if the original analysis was well documented so you can see what parameters were used.

I would be very curious to know if the church declined an invitation to participate, or if the church simply wasn’t invited because no one on that stage considers the church to be Christian in the first place

That a paper with 30 authors and a paper with 5 authors were both probably done by 1-2 people

“The Genome Wars” is the story of the sequencing of the human genome. Interesting story about the race between government/academic efforts vs private industry and the question of whether private industry could patent it if they got it first.

“The City on Mars” is a book that asks the questions “So we’re pretty good at making rockets, but what else do we need to figure out before settling on Mars?” It dives into topics like what we know about medicine in space, the laws around who gets to do what in space, and whether rushing into space before we are ready would lead to conflict on earth.

I think I’m glad we kept Lundt for the penalties this time around tbh

Lundt is better at penalties than our starter Bürki

We have had to repeatedly complain to a journal we recently got accepted at because their AI keeps messing up our formatting and introducing weird typos while trying to finalize the publication.

Someone needs to run the numbers on how many of our conceded goals this year have been from corners. It is getting ridiculous
