Pff... wake me up when @kevinng & @victoralab have sequence Beethoven's germinal centers - it may reveal the biological roots of the light zone/dark zone motif opening the 5th.

New preprint: complex systems tend to be stable if interactions between components are sufficiently homogeneous. We show that key features of biol. systems, non-local interactions and intrinsic noise, destabilize them and facilitate pattern formation https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12611
'Doadrio, de 64 años, entró al museo de voluntario cuando tenía 18, para organizar los miles de botes con peces, poco después de la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco. “Había colecciones abandonadas desde 1936, llenas de moho, con las ratas por los pasillos. El museo ha cambiado radicalmente desde que entré”, celebra el biólogo.'
"I'm a fan of phenotypic assays in general - the idea of letting the cells tell me what's going on is more appealing than me trying to tell them (they don't listen very well). But that said, a bad phenotypic assay is truly the worst of both worlds."

FT's @KuperSimon: "If we’re serious about keeping the planet liveable, we have to regulate & tax huge cars out of existence." #SUVs are: "not only awful for the climate, they’re also killing pedestrians, including children in driveways" https://www.ft.com/content/7612e3c0-0e10-4cfb-895d-40b2e5d083b9

"In terms of acceptance delay, we find, again, that papers from Asia, Africa, and South America spend more time compared to other papers published in the same journal and the same year. Regression analysis of US-based papers reveals that Black authors suffer from the greatest delay."

@petros "In these debates, there’s a clear survival bias. Those who can ask these questions were affected by restrictions and are likely to have had Covid-19 once, if not several times, and survived. Those who died – an estimated 220,437 people in the UK – don’t have a chance to weigh in on whether government intervention was sufficient, or whether their deaths were preventable."

The world's biggest natural history museums finally have an idea of what is in their collective cabinets. Here's my story about their inventory of 1.1 billion objects. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/23/science/science-museums-online-collections.html

In this episode we caught up with Paul Shiels from the University of Glasgow to talk about his work on the effects of environmental cues on the #epigenome and #longevity. #epigenetics #chromatin @epigenetics

'No manifesto, os subscritores mostram-se “publicamente contra esta proposta”, já que “significaria abdicar definitivamente do ensino superior como serviço público universal e tendencialmente gratuito”. Consideram ainda que “as propinas são um obstáculo à democratização do acesso ao ensino superior”, rejeitando um “modelo de financiamento baseado no princípio de utilizador-pagador”.
Eye color genes are critical for retinal health: study in @PLOS Genetics by Elisabeth Knust, Director Emerita @mpicbg, and Sarita Hebbar. They investigated how four Drosophila genes, known to control eye color, are essential for health of retinal tissue. https://www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreach/news-media/article/eye-color-genes-are-critical-for-retinal-health #genetics
Just woke up from my first ever conference nightmare. Couldn't find my room, had to wear mismatched socks, had to leave my kid unattended, lost my glove, my session was in a different day than I thought, arrived too late to it, moderator was giving me the evil eye, and my poster had printed wrong so it was an A4 size with tiny tiny letters and figures just at the top. BUT the poster format was kind of brilliant. The poster was attached to a stick and then all presenters walked around, waving their poster around like a flag. Much more effective in attracting attention I am sure. We should change this. #Petition #Posters #CognitiveScience #Neuroscience #VisionScience #CognitivePsychology #Conferences #VSS2023 #ECVP2023
@diraquel I think the Porto adaptation was beautiful
