Emotional Analysis
The emotions expressed in these tweets range from frustration to disbelief to amusement. The frustration is expressed in tweets about being overlooked for a paper, not receiving credit for a quote, and not being able to take criticism without retaliating. Disbelief is expressed in tweets about an individual being upset about something a magician did in the 1970s, and in disbelief that an article title would be misconstrued. Amusement is expressed in tweets about holding grudges for tiny slights and fitting an elephant with four parameters.
Trend Analysis

1626563034230448130 | @lpachter Strange they didn’t cite our paper preprinted over a year ago on this?https://t.co/oDFfXMGEhA | 3 |
1625912838484299778 | @lpachter @StearnsLab I think the systems biology solution is best described by Von Neumann’s quote: “With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.” | 3 |
1626567601622077440 | @lpachter We need more maps, and preferably ones that don’t communicate with the other maps, and even better if file formats are bespoke. How else can we continue to make new maps. | 1 |
1625140860030525441 | @lpachter @michaelhoffman @lpachter this is also the process for GenBank and SRA. https://t.co/uGgrBpv6Co | 0 |
1624913135642759169 | @lpachter And this would be bad why? | 0 |
1624966211791630337 | @lpachter Very common, but usually much more subtle. | 0 |
1625010183561969664 | @lpachter it’s a nothing class! | 0 |
1625014002999762944 | @lpachter This could describe my whole department apparently 😬 | 0 |
1625072520578715648 | @lpachter Oh yes, in acdemia people hold grudges for the looong time - and quite often because of teeny-tiny slights (some epic cases to tell 😅). IMHO this is related to the reward system that is highly symbolic and status based. | 0 |
1625627499064438784 | @DavidZhangMD Exactly @lpachter said it better 😊 https://t.co/Qk1ex6229d | 0 |

1624893076547440640 | @lpachter hey i simply disagreed in that thread and got unfollowed, but tell me more about people being awesome and completely able to take criticism and not retaliate LOL | 8 |

1626089771830501376 | @yafshar @datadryad @NCBI @bhattac_a_bt @ArboledaVal @lpachter In short: almost all genomics papers that share, share on GEO. the format/site is “optimized” for sequencing. Dryad seems general and I guess the hope is people from all disciplines will post there. | 2 |
1625934304307212288 | @alexGioannidis @lpachter @StearnsLab But, what can you do with 120 billion parameters? | 2 |
1624856601076039683 | @lpachter @lpachter , is the location of the Pentagon also a violation of article 58(b)? | 2 |
