My latest is out at @FrontOncology. I present a new hypothesis for the molecular mechanism driving the evolutionarily remarkable processes of invasion and metastasis: the formation of new protein interactions.

This should be a great meeting - please register if interested!

Has anyone ever broken the third wall in grant writing? If so, how did it go?

@natclarke8 @univmiami Awesome. Congrats!

@ctmurphy1 I love this so much. (Did you have this idea when it happened and just have to sit on it for months?? That would have killed me.)

@MichelleItano Love this! Still value your help in embryo '21. Glad to see you're doing well (:

@dudin_o @Archaeon_Alex Wow! This is amazing.

@gershbrain @RMBattleday Love this. Similar to eg Einstein’s thought experiments described as eg imagining chasing a beam of light, maybe?

@DefenderOfBasic Literally just sent this thread to my husband, with whom I do this - but I didn’t have this legible a description of what I was doing. He is annoyed. Maybe this will help. Thx!

@lpachter Reification through naming is a first step toward making it unacceptable, I hope...

@PetrovADmitri integrate my thoughts. So I would guess limited by speed of thought, and perhaps integrative thought, whatever that means (with varying success in different people....).

@MatjazLeonardis I agree & think this is true for almost any activity. You are just way likelier to do something if you do it out of raw enjoyment and don't consider getting bogged down in external calculations. Conditioning upon someone doing something a ton, that is the likely underlying state.

@leonidkruglyak @socalsysbio 💯

@Jenn_Coughlan from @MoSephius !

@DariaVanTyne Congratulations!!

@ItaiYanai Thanks, this is a really nice summary and synthesis. I usually avoid self-promotion, but I think we're thinking along lines similar enough to be interesting but not so similar as to be boring - wonder what you'd think:

@FritzLaylin Congratulations!

@DefenderOfBasic @pepteedew Yes, same.

@DefenderOfBasic Thank you!
