Not all who try become Olympians. The chances are very low. Due to years of hard work and investment, a few become Olympians. If we do not invest in them today, when the odds are low for any individual, future Olympians will never emerge.

#WeekendRead! #MysterySolved! Why people with the same mutation present or not a pathology? @bogunoviclab.bsky.social &co show @Nature that epigenetic controls the random expression of 1 allele in 5% of all genes, explaining incomplete penetrance for monogenic inborn error of immunity #IEI diseases!
Monoallelic expression can govern penetrance of inborn errors of immunity - Nature
Somatically determined preferential allelic expression of select genes that when mutated cause inborn errors of immunity corresponds with disease phenotypes, suggesting that the penetrance and express...

This episode was great👏, thank you @mfgrp.bsky.social for sharing your thoughts on choosing scientific questions
The goal is not to have a zero risk project; those are generally not worth working on. People with a good relationship with risk are definitely not avoiding it. They are super honest about it and they basically make it their goal to slowly chip away at it.
