@jacobrintamaki I had such thoughts 25-ish years ago. If another 20-something posts similar to your feed in 12.5 years instead of 25, I'll consider that significant progress in the field.

... or "don't your own research."
Please stop putting my science into chatbots & getting their bullshit analysis & sending it back to me like is a new insight. It’s insulting, unprofessional & shows you are lazy & not a critical thinker. Just don’t do it. Thank you!

Creative, inventive, prolific, and a great human being to boot (only met once at a conference, was as kind and engaging as they get) - and it ain't often a single person can be credited with starting a new branch of chemistry. RIP @sirfrasersays -

A truly timely critique these past few days on X.
The Einstein vs. von Neumann "debate" ultimately comes down to one thing: people in tech, in general, really, really, really don't understand what science is all about.

@01Waller @3rdstreetjazz 100% with this, esp. re: Tony Williams (I'm a drummer - I damn-near put the book down after that page). A kinda similar, but much more nuanced, vibe from Jones/Baraka's "Black Music," but I am thoroughly enjoying it at present (esp. Roy Haynes' take!).

@ethan_iverson That holds for the physical sciences as well. The things many of us learn as "general knowledge" very early in our careers were Nobel prizes back in the day. Becoming an "all-around stand-out" isn't getting any easier.

@PhysInHistory The coordinates of a representative vertical slice, anyway (I've seen playing "fast and loose" with numbers before, never "fast and tight").

The Protein Folding Nobel in context: all polypeptide configurations = the number of "Paradise Lost" references you're going to read tomorrow in the news re: Milton. The biologically relevant folded protein = the one author who's actually read the poem (#donaldsutherland).

@philipturnerar I do appreciate the perspective. To a point. Someday, we (and I mean you and I) might have that conversation.
