Using Bayesian ideas, and the prior probability of the hypothesis being true, is critical to the Scientific Method. After watching this video https://youtu.be/zB_OApdxcno?si=WJKx2PFbnp72y8O5 from @veritasium , I realized that our Political Biases are just our Bayesian Prior Beliefs
I want to highlight two recent NAR papers by my colleagues at Penn State, Claudia Nicolae and Lucian Moldovan. https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/52/22/13865/7903364 and https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/52/22/13832/7893329 where they examine how DNA damage leads to single-strand breaks.
Happy New Year to TOXI followers from the new Chair of TOXI, Tom Spratt (https://sites.psu.edu/spratt/). I will try to keep a chemical toxicology dialog open by timely postings.
