@cancerevo.orgReposted by @parmvir.comI am biased, @cosmicarturo.bsky.social and I go a long way back. But this is a great listen with a very thoughtful #methodology scientist

@juliusgoat.bsky.socialReposted by @parmvir.comOur long national nightmare of minimizing toxic chemicals in our food is finally over.
@parmvir.comI may or may not have spent several hours on Notion to help said productivity instead of doing actual work this week. 🫣

@2scientists.orgReposted by @parmvir.comCrystal by name, crystal-clear by nature, at least that is the goal for her science communication work. She's a first-gen Latina scientist that is passionate about viruses, scicomm and her dog and we talk about all these things (minus the pup). Full episode 🎧: 2scientists.org/podcast/crystal-clear
@matthewcobb.bsky.socialReposted by @parmvir.comA lot of excitement on here about the article in Science summarising the discoveries of @alistairsponsel.bsky.social and Brian Sutton, just published in the Journal of the History of Biology. Some people have asked, so here is what I think they show, and what are the implications:
@shaunoboyle.bsky.socialReposted by @parmvir.comUK friends: Apply for the @prideinstem.bsky.social small grant scheme until October 30th (Halloween is the holiday of our people, after all).

@seismatters.bsky.socialReposted by @parmvir.comI absolutely LOVE learning cool new facts about the earth and sharing them with people 🤩
This year at @latitudefestival.bsky.social, @cosmicshambles.com gave me the chance to briefly talk about LLSVPs (Large low-shear-velocity provinces), areas in the Earth’s mantle that may have a 😱 origin…
@lizneeley.bsky.socialReposted by @parmvir.comOne of the great long-term collaborations in my career has been with Ciencia Puerto Rico. The latest is a practical handbook with a chapter from me & Nic Bennett on "Using Self-Determination Theory to Facilitate for Shared Purpose and Sustained Engagement." www.cienciapr.org/en/media/41876

@itsafronomics.blacksky.appReposted by @parmvir.comLet the history books show that STUDENT reporters brought national attention to unchecked abuse. I hope that their cups and opportunities forever overfloweth.This is courage.
@cbo.bsky.socialReposted by @parmvir.comIn my latest for @undark.org, I compare AI adoption in science to the Ship of Theseus:
"If you swap out every wooden plank on a ship over time, is it still the same vessel?"
I argue that science derives authority from something more than data generation + publication.
@parmvir.comIt was lovely to hear about Sebastiano's work partly because we got to hear how his institution is legitimizing #SciComm as a pursuit in its own right, and partly because of the cool ways he's engaging audiences with research.
I may or may not have taken notes for our own @scientistsinc.org events 🤫
@parmvir.comThank you to @cancerevo.org for being my co-host today 😄
@parmvir.comToday's @smbmathbiology.bsky.social #MathBioNexus seminar was a fun one, so comes highly recommended. Fortunately, for anyone who missed it, you have a week to join the discussion and get Fred to answer any questions you may have.

@laureloldach.bsky.socialReposted by @parmvir.comAnthropic "CRISPR-like system" opinion: based on where the biochemical/wet-lab validation currently stands as reported in their not-a-preprint, this is a marketing document. The humans involved have made some v. cool mol-bio discoveries in the past, and evidently they expect this to also have ...
