    What's it like to be a geneticist? A thread, based on stock photos sampled from the internet. We begin with an image of a state-of-the-art genetics lab in action. Notice all the flasks & tubing filled with blue liquid, & the smart matching attire of these everyday researchers.1/n

    "It was believed only non-Africans carried Neandertal genes, due to interbreeding after a human migration out of Africa ~60kyr ago. New findings suggest human & Neandertal lineages are more closely intertwined, pointing to far earlier interbreeding events"

    Make no mistake, each & every model system used in research has its limitations - recognizing these is a crucial way by which science advances. A new paper from the Kriegstein lab highlights ways that cerebral organoids differ from developing human brain:

    Just back from a fascinating dinner with Christof Koch, discussing whether lab-grown brain organoids and/or AI can achieve consciousness. Wondering what Francis Crick would make of the astonishing neuroscience developments of the last decade & a half, if he were alive today.

    "What we've done is to create the sound of Nesyamun [ancient Egyptian who died 3,000 years ago] as he is in his sarcophagus" said study coauthor Prof Howard, "It's not a sound from his speech, as he is not actually speaking". Relieved we cleared that up:

    There's little doubt that pervasive pressure to provide overly clean narratives in research papers is harmful to science. Promising to see a commitment to "tell it like it is" from editors; hopefully other leading journals will follow suit:
