This assumes Santa has to obey the laws of Physics though. Flying reindeer suggest otherwise.

See you in the knockout stage ;)

I am not sure. There seems to be a Nature paper every week on certain aspects of somatic evolution.

Sophies World is a very nice introduction to the history of Philosophy suitable for 10 year olds.

If interested in physics, I loved the Elegant Universe by Brian Green when I was younger.

Looking forward, I am launching my lab in the @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social and IMES at @mit.edu, and will continue studying how the unique regulatory landscape of ecDNA enables tumor evolution. We're looking for creative scientists to push this frontier - if you're interested, get in touch!

Being a different topic, I strongly feel there must be changes how clinical trials are reported.

Wouldn’t it be in principal possible to live update ongoing trials weekly so that trends can be followed (with statistical interpretation)?

In physics, we often see intermediate reports of studies.

It might be useful to consider a policy to make both raw and processed data available, which is not always the case.

Especially in the times of large genomics, it at times might be a waste of energy and resources to reanalyse 100s of genomes on local university clusters.

Is Oslo still standing?
