Calculating the proportion of US state borders that are coastlines

A few days ago, my wife, a bunch of my kids, and I were huddled around a big wall map of the United States, joking about the relative unimportance of Rhode Island, the smallest state in the US. It’s one of the states I never ever think about: …and it’s just so small . Amid the joking, my wife came to Rhode Island’s defense by declaring that even though it’s so small, it has one of the highest proportions of coastline to land borders.

As residents within the healthcare profession, our first duty is to care for our patients. While working upwards of 80 hours per week pursuing that mission, it is hard to think of ourselves as anything beyond our job title. But we are also citizens. And while patient care remains a worthy North Star, decisions made by faraway policymakers can impact our patients as much as the assessments and plans we ourselves craft.
Generative Linker Design

Much molecular design today can be boiled down to “put the right functional groups in exactly the right places.” In catalysis, proper positioning of functional groups to complement developing charge or engage in other stabilizing non-covalent interactions with the transition state can lead to vast rate accelerations.
Why EXACTLY is Google Scholar bad for evidence synthesis, systematic reviews?

Do bifurcated ribs imply single-segment neck muscles? Sometimes

Here at SV-POW!, we love bifurcated cervical ribs. Those of Turiasaurus are one of the autapomorphies proposed by Royo-Torres et al. (2006:figure 1K). Their diagnosis of the new genus included “accessory process projecting caudodorsally from the dorsal margin of the shafts of proximal cervical ribs”. Here is the best example of such a rib in Turiasaurus , attached to its vertebra.

I ’ve lost count of how often I start my blog posts by admitting I haven’t blogged in a while. Long-form blogging seems to be on its way out, but it still holds a unique place in social media—it’s a constant source of guilt, never feeling frequent, good, seen, or shared enough. Now that’s out of the way, I want to briefly share some thoughts I’ve been mulling over recently.

Back when I had optimistic views of my time, I vowed to do more blogging this year. Sadly, life had other plans. But I return with an update to an earlier post on the Portal rodent community. To recap, in April 2023, my student Pat Dumandan and I were afraid. Afraid that Chaetodipus penicillatus (the Desert pocket mouse) was about to undergo a population explosion.
Going for DOI registration

Starting this week, all DOIs for the Rogue Scholar blog posts are registered and updated using the new commonmeta Go library, replacing the commonmeta Python library. Authors and readers of blogs archived by Rogue Scholar shouldn’t notice a difference, but going forward this change will make it easier to manage the DOIs (close to 16K DOIs for currently 93 blogs) registered for Rogue Scholar blog posts.
There’s no such thing as sustainable research software

(with contributions from Michelle Barker, Neil Chue Hong, Matthew Turk, Jeffrey Carver, Hannah Cohoon, and James Howison) Ok, this title is a bit of a teaser, but what I really mean is that while we can say that research software has been sustained, we can’t predict with certainty that it will be sustained in the future, or even fully know what factors we should use to make an uncertain prediction.

I ’ve written here before about what it means to me to spend some time playing records and recording them the sessions to share later (also here). Taking the time to select, play, listen to and later rearrange and make recordings of my playing/listening sessions is for me akin to meditating, attentively watching a good film, reading a good book for pleasure or doing research.

Author Dhruv Gupta ( ORCID : 0009–0004–7109–5403) Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs) have become the new face of Natural language processing (NLP). With their generative power and ability to comprehend human language, the human reliance on these models is increasing every day. However, the LLMs have been known to hallucinate and thus produce wrong outputs.

Solar prominences, visible to the naked eye during the eclipse, are bands of plasma entrained in the magnetic field connecting pairs of sunspots. Once in a while, these break out in solar flares.
