Rosalind Franklin, born in 1920, was a British chemist whose contributions were vital to the discovery of the structure of DNA. Her work led to the Nobel Prize being awarded to two men, Watson and Crick, who allegedly stole her work and never acknowledged her contribution. #WomensHistoryMonth

"The neonatal Fc receptor and the planet Neptune share the distinction of having had their existence predicted by theoretical models before they were discovered."

Sounds exciting.

@BenjaminHimes Thanks!
@cyrilpedia Freakonomics did a 3 episode deep dive inti Adam Smith - highly recommended!
Here is a link to part 2; it is most relevant to your post.

Almost 200 million people around the world have endometriosis. So why does it take so long to get diagnosed? Here's an #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth thread about this common and chronic gynaecological condition.
Harald Hess awarded the 2023 James Prize in Science and Technology Integration by the US National Academy of Sciences: https://www.nasonline.org/programs/awards/2023-awards/Hess.html
At #HHMIJanelia, the lab of Harald Hess revolutionized electron microscopy with enhanced FIBSEM (C. Shan Xu et al. 2017 @eLife https://elifesciences.org/articles/25916 ) –now in use by us at #MRCLMB, and applied for whole #Drosophila CNS imaging; built an automated STEM to image the whole #Drosophila larval body at 5x5x35 nm; and so much more. Hats off! Congratulations!

Spoiler alert: no (Smith was not a moral idiot).
"How did this happen? How did Smith’s ideas become so thoroughly integrated into conservative defenses of the free market against regulation? And are these the only ways of reading his work?"
Preprint: gene fusions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
"We leveraged bulk RNA-Seq data from human post-mortem samples to determine whether fusion events occur in ALS. We report for the first time the presence of gene fusion events in several brain regions as well as in spinal cord samples in ALS."

FInd joy where you can:
"To the delight of scientists across the life sciences, reads, which are the output of sequencing instruments, have been getting longer."
