We are seeing a new trend in submissions to @arxiv (and presumably to conferences and journals): Authors submitting papers whose contents they likely do not understand. 1/

It’s a rough time to be a scientist.
You spend decades learning how to measure things properly.
How to separate signal from noise.
How to distinguish hazard from risk.
And then you open your phone and watch fear beat data - again and again and again.
In the lab, we argue about controls, concentrations, confidence intervals.
Online, people argue about screenshots, podcasters and blogs.
This little molecule in my hand?
The dose matters.
Exposure matters.
Evidence matters.
Being a scientist today means doing more than running experiments.
It means explaining, clarifying, correcting - over and over and over again.
So yes - it’s a rough time to be a scientist.
But it’s also the most important time to speak up.

It's sad to wake up to the news that the legendary Craig Venter died yesterday. Here's Stephen Quake talking about his contributions to the Genomics revolution which didn't actually come from within the Genetics community. Craig came in from Pharmacology and (together with Lander) said that genomes don't have to be perfect; drafts are useful.

The way to accelerate science is to SLOW it down.
Fewer papers please! We’re drowning in meaningless text.
One GREAT paper per lab per decade is more than enough.

Big kudos to @VikramJathar92 and @AashishPlantBio for leading this insightful study on leaf development and photosynthesis. Grateful to have played a part in it!
Excited to share our #bioRxiv preprint: "Integrative comparative transcriptomics using cultivated & wild rice reveals key regulators of developmental & photosynthetic progression along the rice leaf developmental gradient" .

We created the publicly accessible RiceDevLeaf Database (nipgr.ac.in/DEV-LEAF/), integrating gene expression and regulatory networks across developmental stages. This platform is a valuable resource for exploring genetic regulation of leaf development and photosynthesis.

1/ We love talking about “natural” food, but here’s the truth:
Almost everything we eat has been modified by humans.
From Apples to Zucchini, our ancestors transformed wild plants into the crops we rely on today.
Here’s the story of how humans shaped our food 🧵:

It pains me to see facile critiques of GWAS on here from our clinical/biostats friends while the many actually good reasons to be critical of GWAS get little attention. So here's a thread on what GWAS does, what critics get wrong, and where GWAS is genuinely still lacking. 🧵:

It’s a wrap. The last day of the conference started with a inspiring keynote of Mark Cooper who revisited the breeders equation followed by some last excellent talks.
Thanks to everyone who joined, you made the conference really exciting!

🗳️As we elect our new representatives to the #IndianParliament in the next few weeks, looking forward to politicians who would be interested in building the next laws for #genomics in the country
Are there any ?
Please tag or share if you know any.

Lysenko probably killed more human beings than any individual scientist in history. He condemned perhaps millions of people to starvation through bogus agricultural research—and did so without hesitation.

Our first inking that something might be amiss with the accepted story of maize origins occurred 13 years ago. Thanks to the efforts of @NingYang9 those hints from long ago are now a new model of maize origins, out today: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

So @nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …
