The latest episode of the #EMBOPodcast is live & (in my biased opinion) this should make for some great weekend listening.
@CoriBargmann & I discussed the evolution of behavior, #OpenScience, a worm’s sense of smell, the Human #Brain Initiative, mentorship, and much more.
You can listen to it at the link below or your preferred podcast app

Really happy to share our latest thoughts with @vardilab now in @PLOSBiology: we discuss how the time to "bridges scales" in the study of marine microbial interactions has come, here in the context of marine viruses, from single cells to large complex communities. @npariente https://twitter.com/PLOSBiology/status/1618918298120224768
"For all its sanctimonious talk of “open debate” and “community”, its business model is to optimize for outrage; outrage means maximum “engagement” and hence profit. Facebook’s attempts to create less toxic politics have regularly been reversed because “engagement” appeared to have declined as a result."

Madalena made this illustration for a piece I wrote about Charles Lindbergh, who designed a perfusion pump for organ transplantation and published it in JEM 1935.

New US biosafety guidelines in the works (the Times piece includes a link to the draft recommendations from the expert panel).
"The experts unanimously approved draft recommendations that, among other things, ask health officials to extend their oversight to less dangerous pathogens, including ones similar to the coronavirus. They also recommended an end to exemptions for research related to vaccine development and surveillance of emerging viruses."

I have moved from fediscience.org so here's my #introduction again 😬!
I am a #paleobotanist and a #CNRS researcher in Montpellier, France. I study #fossils from the #Paleozoic and early #Mesozoic (400 to-200 million years ago) to understand the #evolution of plant diversity and biology 🌿⛏️ I'm also interested in plants that are still living (#iamabotanist) and will post about #paleobotany and #botany 🌳🌺

Exon architecture controls mRNA m6A suppression and gene expression | Science - A nice and important paper showing how suppression of m6A methylation in and around transcript splice sites regulates mRNA transcript stability. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj9090

A nice study of #LassaFever in #Guinea by @stephanie200586 and colleagues. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/29/2/21-2525_article
Found evidence that fractured habitats are associated with increased exposure.
Seroprevalence up to 59% but so few clinical cases reported from Guinea. <20 in 10 years. 🤔

Elusive glass octopus spotted in the remote Pacific Ocean. Only its eyes, optic nerve and digestive tract are opaque. This rarely-seen glass octopus bared all recently — even a view of its innards — when an underwater robot filmed it gracefully soaring through the deep waters of the Central Pacific Ocean.

Powerful images do often become media echoes. This media echo started in 1545 on a #broadside and shows the #Reformation in a nutshell. It was reprinted and variated into the seventeenth century. Sometimes the print was colored to sell for a higher price. #histodons
What makes this image special? You see Pope Paul III holding a flaming papal bull, belching forth sulphur, and the audience is farting towards him, shouting: Here are the lips made to measure for the foot of the Pope.

next up to read: really interesting new work by @marionpepper lab
already thinking how we might integrate this into what we learned from Gaya/Milpied labs showing IL4 promotes more permissive GC and "bystander" memory B cells in the tissue

Happy to share our newest (and oldest) study. I started this project in 2012 as a postdoc with Ed Palmer. It is the last paper with data I generated with my own hands in Ed's lab (part of Fig.1). I will guide you through the data in the thread. https://tinyurl.com/yv4a8ec6 1/10

"In the early 2000s, a series of groundbreaking studies began revealing yet another facet of that mystery — the way mushrooms respond to sound, despite having no auditory organs."

"We set out to systematically investigate global sequencing databases for a signature of #molnupiravir #mutagenesis. We find that a specific class of long phylogenetic branches appear almost exclusively in sequences from 2022, after the introduction of molnupiravir treatment, and in countries and age-groups with widespread usage of the drug."
