How do we judge whether a particular experiment is 'pursuitworthy'? What factors need to be considered? @_EnnoFischer & I are receiving submissions exploring these & related questions for a topical collection @EuroJPS! RTs are widely appreciated! tu-dresden.de/gsw/phil/iphil… #philsci
ALT Promotional image announcing the call for papers for the topical collection "The Pursuitworthiness of Experiments Across the Sciences" to be published in the European Journal for Philosophy of Science (Guest Editors: Enno Fischer and Alejandro Fábregas-Tejeda). The call for papers runs from November 1, 2024 to April 20, 2025.

When I ran my first agarose gel 175 years ago I was all like this janky ass contraption will be obsolete in six months there is no way this is how a high tech field handles DNA

Finally out in @ScienceMagazine! Utilizing the cost-effective EasySci to profile 21 million single-cell transcriptomes across five life stages and diverse sexes/genotypes, we reveal aging as distinct, development-like transitions, with dramatic cell population changes in specific time windows. We also demonstrate how highly scalable single-cell genomics enables "Functional Cell-omics" to unravel Cell Regulatory Networks at the whole-organism scale. Congratulations to the incredible Zehao Zhang (@Tommyz626) from our lab @RockefellerUniv for leading this work! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
What if 1 million scRNA-seq libraries can be prepared within $1k? Here we go 👉 21 million cells from 623 mouse tissues, spanning 5 life stages & 3 genotypes, all in a SINGLE study by ONE remarkable student Zehao @Tommyz626 from our lab @RockefellerUniv! shorturl.at/epsz7
