"At last... we're ready to release The 101 Dalmatians to the screen!"

"Sir!"

"Yes."

"We've got a problem."

"Damn it! What is it?"

"There are now 383 Dalmatians."

"But the title says 101 Dalmatians! How did this happen?"

"They are dogs."

"So?"

"They reproduced."

"Ah. Well, now we have to update the title."

Hello, Fediverse! We are Bianor Biotech, a technology-based company that emerged from the University of León. The company was promoted by the Department of Molecular Biology (Cellular Biology) professors and INDEGSAL (fediscience.org/@indegsal), F. Martínez-Pastor and B. Martín-Fernández.
At Bianor Biotech, we specialize in reproductive biology, particularly sperm analysis. Our unique expertise lies in sperm chromatin analysis, which is crucial for clinics and companies in the livestock and animal breeding sector.
We are currently participating in the H2020 NeoGiANT project (neogiant.eu), which is researching ways to reduce the use of antibiotics in animal reproduction. We are excited to share our progress with you.
We are also on Bluesky, LinkedIn and bianorbiotech.es

Selfish or selfless? Anti-natalists argue not having children is ethical, protecting unborn from life's inevitable suffering. An anthropologist explores the view that birth is a lottery—parents gamble, children face the consequences. theconversation.com/selfish-or #reproduction #ethics #childfree

A article in #JAMA summarizes studies of the effects of #abortion bans on the #medical profession, especially in Texas. Fewer people enrolling in #Texas medical schools, especially for #obgyn; obgyns leaving the states with the strongest bans; increased maternal deaths; downward effects on number of new doctors entering practice in the US.

#Sperm Can’t Unlock an #Egg Without This Ancient Molecular Key
Using s #AlphaFold, researchers identified three sperm #proteins that seem to make #reproduction possible
Lab experiments confirmed: Male zebrafish missing newly discovered third protein were infertile, as were male mice. Their sperm swam normally but couldn’t fuse with an egg. Scientists found biochemical evidence that sperm proteins were working as a unit, both in zebrafish and humans

#NotebookLM is pretty impressive, I have to admit!

@mesinatra pointed me to #NotebookLM and I tried the "generate podcast on a research paper" feature using my recent paper on #replication, #reproduction, etc.

The original paper is here: link.springer.com/article/10.1

And you can listen to the conversational audio summary here: e.pcloud.link/publink/show?cod

It's not perfect, but really pretty good. I mean, it's very engaging, really useful, and mostly but not entirely accurate.

SpringerLinkRepetitive research: a conceptual space and terminology of replication, reproduction, revision, reanalysis, reinvestigation and reuse in digital humanities - International Journal of Digital HumanitiesThis article is motivated by the ‘reproducibility crisis’ that is being discussed intensely in fields such as Psychology or Biology but is also becoming increasingly relevant to Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Digital Humanities, not least in the context of Open Science. Using the phrase ‘repetitive research’ as an umbrella term for a range of practices from replication to follow-up research, and with the objective to provide clarity and help establish best practices in this area, this article focuses on two issues: First, the conceptual space of repetitive research is described across five key dimensions, namely those of the research question or hypothesis, the dataset, the method of analysis, the team, and the results or conclusions. Second, building on this new description of the conceptual space and on earlier terminological work, a specific set of terms for recurring scenarios of repetitive research is proposed. For each scenario, its position in the conceptual space is defined, its typical purpose and added value in the research process are discussed, the requirements for enabling it are described, and illustrative examples from the domain of Computational Literary Studies are provided. The key contribution of this article, therefore, is a proposal for a transparent terminology underpinned by a systematic model of the conceptual space of repetitive research.
