@markalawson Lol. It's always been rare for me too. Maybe that's the key to it being enjoyable

My very first grad student @NaveenaUjagar defended her dissertation today. She is that girl. Set the bar so high for a PhD from the #Nicholaslab I am beyond proud of her and the work she has done. Congratulations Dr. Ujagar

New fav comment on a summary statement. Weakness: the data supporting this grant is on @Bioarxiv, not published.

@RuxandraTeslo It's not about reading every paper in depth..cause some papers you pour over for days and others you read one quickly....its about accurate representation of what you cite.

@RuxandraTeslo I was taught you cant just skim the abstract and cite. In grad school I ran into this several times. A citation from a review I wanted to use. Checked the paper. didnt support what I thought. Made it clear you have to read what you cite. Basic accuracy of lit representation

Ummm.. this is why we should read sources we cite. I had this mentality as a grad student and my advisors quickly corrected. As a student I was surprised that they checked my references... but they established this should be the norm. Yes..I also check my students references

@eiszett Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.

So confused at the discourse on academic Twitter. Verifying references matter. My group wrote a review last year. I went through every single reference to ensure it was accurately represented and relevant. Accepting LLM hallucinations is accepting reduced rigor in our science.

@mattbencole @zdeborova @giffmana I've gotten a lot of comments like this, so forgive me if this isn't very kind, but I'm at my limit. If you're a serious academic, you've spent a lot of time looking at citations, and you know they often contain errors. You know that it's very common for professors just to copy

It took 93 years to admit PCOS isn't just cysts, it’s a full metabolic failure. We’ve been gaslit, handed birth control pills, and told to "just lose weight" while fighting chronic insulin resistance from the inside. Women’s health is still treated as an afterthought. We deserve better.

..and cramping associated with miscarriage. Female Dr. said I've been there. Incredibly painful. We're going to manage your pain. Morphine. No effect. Then torodol. Night and day experience suffering in pain when I didn't have to vs resting until surgery.

The importance of empathetic women in Healthcare. Last year I was in ED for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. I have high pain tolerance. Male nurse. Gave me Tylenol. Didn't get anything stronger until I was screaming 8hrs later. Yesterday went to ED for excessive bleeding.
