"This series of prints was created between 2017 and 2021 and consists of several aquatints of stages, doors, caves or forests, where figures have been inserted through the technique of chine-collé, and colours added through viscosity printing.
The same plate receives different figures or cut-outs (found in old cards, magazines or books) which affect the perception of the space through their different graphic qualities and scale."

'"Au gratin" has long since been adopted into English. It seems, at times, to be a precarious transplant, ill at ease in its surroundings, if not a hopeless case of lost identity."

"Matthias Grünewald’s “Isenheim Altarpiece” (c. 1509–15) is, as Peter Fingesten wrote in The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism (1984), the “most tragic, lacerated, and distorted crucifixion ever painted.” Made for the Monastery of St. Anthony in Alsace, variously in Germany or France, depending on the time period, Grünewald’s altarpiece was composed over a period of approximately four years and likely completed in 1516, the year before that other death-obsessed German, Martin Luther, would inaugurate the Reformation."

"We present a case where the atavistic phenotype is adaptive, with the derived allele of the M locus in H. misippus producing a mimetic wing phenotype. We show that two large insertions of 2.4 and 4.3 kb are found in the dominant allele of the M locus and that these are formed by multiple TE insertions."

"Since the 1960s, global vaccination campaigns have eradicated smallpox, suppressed polio and contained measles. Modest expenditures on public health have saved tens of millions of lives, reduced morbidity and allowed children around the world to develop into adults capable of living healthy and productive lives."

'Through adoptive transplantation of donor bone marrow stem cells carrying a mutant human amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgene into either APP-deficient knockout or normal recipient animals, we observed rapid development of AD pathological hallmarks.'

"(...) Monet’s “Boulevard des Capucines” (1873), the teeming vista of a city that knew itself to be the capital of the 19th century.
Monet painted this from the very gallery where the First Impressionist show took place, the studio of photographer Nadar. He thus challenged photography on home ground, assimilating its plunging viewpoints, sharp angles, blur of movement, while in the painterly blending of small flickering strokes he evoked urban experience as a web of light and atmosphere."

"For scientists who study the human immune system, the penny dropped at different points in the early frenetic months of the Covid-19 pandemic. Looking back now, many marvel at the realization that they witnessed and were able to chronicle something no other scientists had ever actually seen."

"Our findings expand on previous work measuring genetic ancestry effects on the gene expression response to pathogens or immune stimuli by showing that many of the ancestry-associated differences in transcriptional responses to pathogens are accompanied by epigenetic differences between ancestry groups. More generally, our data help fill a critical gap in biomedical research: the limited number of non-European ancestry individuals among cohorts designed to study immune variance in the general population and in genomic studies more generally."

The tale of a physics graduate student working on superconductivity who ends up at an island institute built for deplorable scholars.

If you're in NY, this looks promising:
"Americans in Paris, at the Grey Art Museum’s airy new space on Cooper Square, evokes those days of cheap wine, curling cigarette smoke and the scent of postwar freedom. New York, despite its dynamism, had become an artistic tyranny, where Abstract Expressionist orthodoxies were proclaimed and enforced by the inquisitorial critics Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg. Even the tiniest hint of figuration brought down accusations of apostasy; Willem de Kooning came in for a critical drubbing when he displayed his series of recognisable “Women”."

'Here, we showed that IL-4 cytokine signaling in GC B cells directly downregulated the transcription factor BCL6 via negative autoregulation to release cells from the GC program and to promote MBC formation.'

'Typewriters — the manually powered writing machines once made by Remington, Underwood and Royal — are wondrous things.
To see their magic in action, try this trick: Set a typewriter out on a table with a sheet of paper pre-rolled into its carriage, and wait. Nearly every child, and many adults, will be drawn to the beauty and specificity of the machine. They will just have to type something. A thought. A complaint. A poem. A wish.'

“Let’s cut this sophomoric stuff, it’s not N.Y.U. anymore,” Joel Coen recalled him saying, according to a Times article in 1985. “One time I asked him to do something just to humor me, and he said, ‘Joel, this whole damn movie is just to humor you.’
