This is my just-published paper, in which gene set enrichment analysis and systems biology modeling yield evidence supporting dietary choline sufficiency as a worthwhile, low risk goal, in terms of supporting sensory processing in #autistic people

There is a church in our area named Ebenezer that has signs posted by the road: "Come to Ebenezer for Easter!"
And every time I drive by, I think the signs should have read, "Come to EbenEaster!"
Missed opportunity 😅🐰🐣
The latest just-published paper from our lab, with my labmate as first author!
This is the paper that taught me how to program in Tcl for VMD 😅

Just received word: a new #MolecularDynamics paper from my advisor's lab has been accepted for publication!
This paper's from an arc of our work in 2021-2022. 1st author is PhD candidate senior to me in the lab & one of the hardest workers I've ever met. 🥳🎉

Neal's rich voice has been an indelible part of my driving around the DMV with the radio on, since I moved to Virginia 22 yrs ago, just before starting college. Go, Neal!🌸
(For folks outside the area - DMV means "D.C., Maryland, & Virginia" - metro area of our nation's capital)
A week from today is my 1st CT scan since dx of Stage IV EGFR-mutated #lungcancer. I started targeted therapy in Dec. One pill a day, cough is gone, feeling terrific. My favorite tree in the backyard is starting to bud. Spring brings hope. ❤️to all
Spent days helping my youngest study for a test on DNA replication before her science test today at school. Then spent another couple of hours tonight helping my oldest with trig function proofs.
My doing bioinformatics and math daily has come in handy in Momtown this week 🤓

My first time setting up and testing exchange rates in a REST based system of my own today. I keep checking the outputs waiting for something to blow up. 😂

How would you describe literature published in 1998 with respect to how research and population in question has changed in the last 25 years?
"Early research"? "Earlier research"? How far back to you need to go before cited research becomes "early"?

Particularly, I'm thinking of autism research published in the late 90s, when diagnostic criteria, public awareness, and assessment rates were all much more constricted than they are now.
Americans in general only barely knew about autism in the 80s and 90s. A lot has changed!

I've wondered if ChatGPT is as adept at understanding how written code is wrong *if it runs* but has more subtle errors (for example, equation errors or an unnecessarily memory intensive for-loop). Can students critique inelegant/typo'ed code better than ChatGPT would?
Looks like I have to make all my programming assignments much harder: I just asked #ChatGPT to write 3 programs that I ask my undergrads to write for their first assignment, and it generated correct code in seconds, in both Python and Perl. Now what? 🤔
My testing with various NAMD and VMD questions gets the answer wrong about 30% of the time - but when I tell ChatGPT the answer is wrong, it often gets it right in the answer that follows.
I think this plays out across a broad variety of fields. The more into the weeds you get with your questions, the more you must tune your awareness and scrutiny for ChatGPT errors, both obvious and subtle.
