I’ve spoken with flat Earthers and those who say it is round. I’ve listened to both sides, and in my sensible, centrist, scientific opinion, it is in fact a cube.
On the Huberman Lab podcast, I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews
Huberman Lab podcast remains independent.

Just to make it clear to people who don’t get the point. We shouldn’t be talking about or worrying about how to fund journals. We should be plotting how to get rid of them entirely.

what makes for a stronger research proposal?
A) a research question for which a positive outcome would would be important
B) a research question for which either a positive or negative outcome would be informative

Heading to #ASHG24 and looking for a postdoc position?
Interested in genetic epidemiology, specifically gene x environment in diverse pediatric cohorts?
I'll be here all week so find me to talk about opportunities with myself and @priya4genes at @jhugeneticepi in Baltimore!
The @NIH is looking for basic research studies worth replicating and will pay to get it replicated. If have studies you think need or should be replicated and have current NIH funding, consider applying.
Are you a #biomedical researcher interested in replicating your studies? Check out the new #FundingOpportunity from the Common Fund to provide support for preparatory activities to enable third-party replication of experiments. Learn more: go.nih.gov/C125mab
ALT Card reads: Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative supplements to active NIH awards to support replication studies using independent contract resources. Applications due November 15, 5:00 PM. go.nih.gov/C125mab. NIH Common Fund logo. Images depicting biomedical research.
