My first "first-author" paper after a long struggle is finally online! 🥺
We put a lot of work in it with @iLivius @SessitschAngela @NebTheSilly

Researchers just found that gas stoves are responsible for 12.7% of childhood asthma cases.
Recently I read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality.
I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests.
Here's what I learned.

Here are my 12 guidelines for data exploration and analysis with the right attitude for discovery:
1. You never really finish analyzing a dataset. You just decide to stop and move on at some point, leaving some things undiscovered. 🧵

I learned the most from people when they shared their code with me. Especially if it was a person occasionally sharing their code over years and I could also see how differently they were doing things as they also matured.

During my years in the lab, I observed that some people hoard their scripts and do not want to share or teach others.
I was the opposite. Although I was a beginner, I taught all that I knew and share my scripts with other lab members who were beginners too.

1/ Learning bioinformatics
the old way:
1. Take a bioinformatics degree in a school
2. Read programming books
--------
my way:
1. learn by doing a project
2. learn by reproducing a figure in a paper
3. learn by teaching what you learned
4. learn from online resources

Researchers have discovered the first known "virovore," an organism that feeds on viruses. Probably there are many others like it -- an entire, previously unknown food chain.
One day into 2023, and already things are going topsy turvy.

We should never forget that humanity is part of nature and as per biology, we are part of the Animal Kingdom. Forgetting and forcing our mindset out of nature is the reason we are standing here in the middle of a changing climate, mass extinctions and diseases of civilization.

Two Moon rockets, 50 years apart. On this day 50 years ago, the Apollo 17 mission had just completed its wet dress rehearsal. Today at @NASA_Kennedy, NASA's Artemis mission sits on its launch pad, ready for launch at 1:04 am ET.

We are going.
For the first time, the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion fly together. #Artemis I begins a new chapter in human lunar exploration.

[1/n] I recently offered a free Zoom "intro to R" data visualization workshop after popular demand. Specifically, I went through the use of ggplot2. All disciplines with no prior R skills were welcome. All free materials are below!🧵 @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics

If there's evidence that you've committed scientific misconduct, and your response is to attack any critics, it's not a very convincing defence against the whole misconduct thing
Just a note for any weird French microbiologists who might be confused

Raoult, you are a disgrace to science and your country
I’m a chemistry professor and I actively USE YOU in ALL my lectures discussing your failures in scientific integrity and ethics

1. Point out the skewed ways of scientific publishing
2. Report fraudulent results and fabricated images
3. Get personally attacked and occasionally sued

Jeez, @JoeSpringer, the $SAVA pumper, calling me "a terrorist" on his YouTube channel.
And this comment is also very classy.

What a great piece of opinion in NYTimes from @MicrobiomDigest
on scientific fraud and falsified pictures in publications.

It is clearly something made to attract more people to consume tobacco products. Kids get addicted to it very fast and show withdrawal symptoms if not getting more. Anyone can easily order them online and regulation doesn't exist. #eu #kids #education #tobacco #tpd #pediatric
