ResearchGate now is a blogging platform. And Berci will showcase the best blog posts.

Do you have any ability to get them to change the regrettable name?
- Mr. Gunn
Are these supposed to be original content or will you accept some cross posting?
- Jean-Claude Bradley
May I also suggest that hyperbole such as "The biggest scientific network in the world with 180,000 members!" should probably be toned down so that things like this http://bit.ly/4kpy47 don't keep happening.
- Mr. Gunn
Mr. Gunn, I don't think I have any ability for that. Jean-Claude: the main purpose is to have original content but I'm sure there will be some cross-posting as well.
- Berci Mesko, MD
Definitely time for me to take a new close look at Research Gate. Should have done it months ago.

Berci - Sorry if I sounded cranky above. I'm hoping with a respected member of the community like you on board, you can help them develop the promise, get a better sense of what the community really wants, and maybe tone down the slightly over-the-top promotional stuff a little.

Question of the day: How do you calculate standard deviation for fold change values?
Is your fold change normally distributed? what do you need the sd for?
- Yann Abraham
The question is whether you can calculate standard deviation for fold change values if the groups you compare are not matched.
- Berci Mesko, MD
So you are considering the ratio of values derived from 2 unmatched populations, like testing 2 populations with different treatments? In that case I would use an ANOVA rather than working with the ratio... or did I miss something?
- Yann Abraham
One group of controls and one group of diseased patients.

I can understand WP doesn't want to have an article on every John Smith in the world, but these endless notability battles are tedious. If you present at one conference are you notable? If you get one interview? "regarded as an important figure by peers" is not exactly a quantitative metric. Timo has a demonstrable body of work in many venues; that should be enough for notability.

Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why. - http://www.wired.com/medtech...
Konrad Förstner, Nils Reinton, Peter Murray and 8 other people liked this
Very interesting Berci - one of the issues I never understood about drug studies is how do you account for the fact that any drug with a common side effect will tip off the patient that they are definitely getting the real stuff and not a placebo - thus contributing to a higher expectation that it should work to alleviate symptoms.
- Jean-Claude Bradley
That's true, but sometimes patients who are getting placebos also have side effects. Another unexplained observation :)
- Berci Mesko, MD
Pingback here:- http://www.als.net/forum...
- Graham Steel
Placebos don't have side effects ;)
- Clare Dibble
Exactly, that's why it's a strange observation.
- Berci Mesko, MD
The placebo might have a small incidence of apparent side effects but if you take something like Lunesta the bad taste in your mouth will give you a definite sign that you have not taken the placebo.
- Jean-Claude Bradley
same story with recent stem cell trial - no difference with placebo. People believe in "new magic pill" and get "high" emotionally.

Gene Sherpas: Personalized Medicine and You: Why DTC Genomics IS Medicine. - http://thegenesherpa.blogspot.com/2009...
joergkurtwegner liked this
No, DTC genomics isn't medicine, and it doesn't matter how many times you insist it is. There remains a fundamental difference between information and the uses to which that information is put. Everyone else on the web seems to understand this. Berci, you provide a valuable service aggregating medicine related articles and you're one of my best filters/sources, but i do with your crank-filter were a little tighter sometimes.
- Mr. Gunn
Thank you, Mr. Gunn! Well, sometimes it happens. But I must admit I know Steve Murphy personally and he seriously affected my thoughts on personal genomics. He helped me a lot about how to become a clinical geneticist and in the vast majority of cases, I agree with his opinion. In terms of outcomes or consequences, DTC genomics should be considered medicine.
- Berci Mesko, MD
I want to make sure I understand your argument, because I'm sure it must be a little more subtle that what I get from reading his post. Are you saying that because someone might make a medical decision for themselves based on the data returned from somewhere like 23andme, it should be put in the same category as a medical diagnostic test, and regulated by requiring a doctor's order?
- Mr. Gunn
I couldn't have said it better. Yes, I think so, and I'm sure Steve thinks pretty the same. DTC is not just playing with fancy results and colorful graphs because people will make medical decisions based on these. And that is dangerous no matter how strongly these companies state these results shouldn't be used for medical decision-making.
