Because asymmetry in species interaction is the rule! it is possible to obtain a #mechanistic understanding and #predictive ability of species #persistence. Amazing work led by Alfonso Allen-Perkins https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.25.525558v1

@tferebee
I'm especially interested in your explorations of #representation and #mechanistic modeling.

Cornell is a terrific place to learn. I found it very hard to leave...

Since it’s the new year, I figure an #introduction is in order. My name is Taylor, and I’m entering my final year as a #CompBio PhD candidate at Cornell.
My research is primarily focused on using #ML to understand #regulation of gene expression in grasses. I am particularly interested in #representation and #mechanistic modeling.
My other interests include science in the media, supporting Black scientists, and trivia podcasts.
I hope to have some great discussions on here! :dna: :rna:

Meet Dr Emily Warren, 1st author of new #OpenAccess paper from Dr Eric Morrow's lab at #BrownUniversity

They developed the 1st lab model of 17q12 deletion syndrome, a copy number variant disorder associated with #neurodevelopmental disorders and #RenalCysts and #diabetes syndrome. The #MouseModel recapitulated many features of the human disorder & will be used to guide #clinical & #mechanistic studies

#introduction (I love the idea!)

I am an associate professor at the #LBBE in Lyon

This means I teach for a significant part of my time (maths, genetics) at the #IUTLyon1

In my research I study #evolution with models (#popgen, #adaptivedynamics) more #mechanistic than usual – often this leads me to study #evolution in/of biological #networks

Dr Aseem Malhotra

"This is a heartbreaking watch.

Yesterday, the British Heart Foundation announced 30k excess cardiac deaths in England.

Multifactorial for sure, but we now have #mechanistic, RCT & associational data linking the #mRNA product to #cardiovascular events. It’s likely a primary driver."

'... Bookchin argues that
“the most fundamental message that social ecology advances is that

the very idea of dominating nature stems from the domination of human by human.”

For an ecological society to develop, first the inter-human domination must be eradicated. '

#Bookchin sees the root of our #mechanistic #exploitation of the #Earth as a dead provider, as a #resourcecurse : Is the core problem the some #eople exist only to provide others with #resources ?

"..going back to the #Enlightenment, the 17th century .. we get this #mechanistic vision of the Earth as something that’s dead, as something that really exists only to provide people, you know, powerful human beings, with resources. And I think, at bottom, we just have to move away from that, move away completely to a different way of envisioning the #earth "
