'Quem ler o texto fica com a sensação de que a extrema-direita nos caiu em cima por geração espontânea, obra e graça dos ventos da história, sem responsabilidades que possam ser assacadas. Não há referência ao desastre da liberalização dos mercados que marcou a governação dos partidos “da área política” de Augusto Santos Silva'

And another thread for #histodons enjoying #paperhistory. Today, we focus on #cartography as a paper art.
You see the famous painting of late seventeenth-century from the Dutch Johannes #Vermeer that reflects some of the paper usages of early modern cartography: "De geograaf" was a paper using man; early modern #cartography was a paper world of its own.
By the way, the #Rijksmuseum in #Amsterdam just opened an exhibition on Vermeer these days: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/johannes-vermeer?ss=

"Our results showed that the Omicron lineage had an accelerated mutation rate in the RBD region, while the mutation incidence in other genomic regions did not change dramatically over time."
Interesting piece on companies bringing bringing #microbiome analysis into the clinic for their predictive value in cancer #immunotherapy. But take it with this major boulder of salt:
“I think that it’s certainly worth doing,” says Steven Salzberg, computational biologist at Johns Hopkins. “But you have to be really skeptical of what you find.” Before they become widely adopted, the field needs validation, replication and large gold standard trials.'
'Last July the first predictive clinical test based on the gut microbiome was approved in Europe. The test, called BiomeOne, was developed by Vienna-based biotech BiomeDx. It analyzes the DNA in gut microbes of patients with cancer and predicts who are most likely to have success with immunotherapy.'

Do current scientific norms & practices act as a barrier to climate action? @anneurai & I believe so!
In a new paper, we argue that a rethink of attitudes & practices is needed to enable academics to address 21st Century challenges - particularly the climate crisis.

A 🧵... (my first attempt at a mastodon thread, bear with me!)
"Research has repeatedly shown that Black mothers and babies have the worst childbirth outcomes in the United States. But this study is novel because it’s the first of its size to show how the risks of childbirth vary by both race and parental income, and how Black families, regardless of their socioeconomic status, are disproportionately affected."

Physicist John Tyndall is often credited with discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.
But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3 years earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/features/happy-200th-birthday-eunice-foote-hidden-climate-science-pioneer #history #science #ClimateChange

"We show that self-renewing DRGMacs contribute to promote axon regeneration. Using single-cell transcriptomics data and CellChat to simulate intercellular communication, we reveal that macrophages express the neuroprotective and glioprotective ligand prosaposin and communicate with SGCs via the prosaposin receptor GPR37L1."
'Carlos Moedas faz o que a Igreja manda desde que o tema seja a construção civil. O altar-palco pode custar rios de dinheiro para receber o Papa Francisco, porque a Igreja quer. Mas a doutrina social da Igreja e a palavra de Francisco não valem um chavo se estiver em causa o acolhimento a imigrantes.'

@maddiefuzz @futurebird So there is a very likely theory that eukaryotes are, essentially, a branch of archaea (specifically, from within a group called Asgard - one kind was discovered near an undersea geological thing named after Loki and then they just kind of ran with it) that engulfed the bacteria that became mitochondria.
Now, not all eukaryotes are multicellular. But it's probable that multicellularity requires the extra energy boost of mitochondria.

"A single, severe episode of stress can bring about myriad responses amongst individuals, ranging from cognitive enhancement to debilitating and persistent anxiety; however, the biological mechanisms that contribute to resilience versus susceptibility to stress are poorly understood."

'At least, this late in the pandemic, families can be with their loved ones at the end of life. When the family agreed to remove Mr. Caretti from the ventilator and provide comfort care, “he was alert, very aware of what was happening,” his son said. “He was holding everyone’s hand.” He died a few hours later, on Dec. 14.'
