Have just read in WaPo:
As basic health care grows unaffordable, the rich seek eternal youth
"Money is pouring into corporate efforts to increase the human life span, too. Alphabet Inc.’s Calico Labs is researching “the biology of aging and longevity.” The start-up Altos Labs, funded by private investors, is researching reprogramming cells to allow humans to turn back the clock.
"But even as billionaires seek eternal youth, millions of Americans are facing a more devastating reality."

"Illumina sharply increased its spending on lobbying over the past two years as it tried to build support against antitrust regulators in the US and Europe that have attempted to block its $8bn acquisition of cancer testing company Grail."

"Our findings demonstrate that ApoE4-expressing astrocytes acquire distinct transcriptional repertoires at single-cell and spatially-resolved domains, which are driven in-part by preferential utilization of the cRel transcription factor."

'Through riveting and braided profiles of Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler, Gabriel illustrates in this groundbreaking group biography how New York City supplanted Paris as the modern art capital of the world in the 1940s and ’50s.'

What ChatGPT and generative AI mean for science
#AI #ChatGPT #STEM #medicalwriters
A new article from @Nature.
Many scientists are using ChatGPT to increase productivity, but others remain wary. “If you believe that this technology has the potential to be transformative, then I think you have to be nervous about it,” says computational biologist

'The results obtained suggest that the peer review system is not substantially better than random selection in identifying the best candidates once an initial pre-selection of the most promising ones is performed.'
"On 3 February 2023, EMA, the Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) and the European Commission (EC) are launching a public consultation on the establishment of a multi-stakeholder platform to improve clinical trials in the European Union (EU). The multi-stakeholder platform is a deliverable of the joint initiative Accelerating Clinical Trials in the EU (ACT EU)."
'A total of 822 participants underwent randomization, and 771 received VV116 (384 participants) or nirmatrelvir–ritonavir (387 participants). The noninferiority of VV116 to nirmatrelvir–ritonavir with respect to the time to sustained clinical recovery was established in the primary analysis'

The Leiden Institute of Chemistry is looking to hire 5-6 new PIs (Assistant/Associate/Full Professor) for the focus fields of Chemical Biology and Energy & Sustainability. Check it out, if you are interested in becoming our new colleague! In Chemical Biology, we are especially looking for someone for the profiles of "Molecular cell biology" and "Bio-orthogonal modification of biomolecules". Nevertheless, the call is also open to all fields of Chemical Biology. https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/vacancies/2023/q1/23-063assistant-associate-full-professors-in-chemistry-5---6-positions

'In 1879 in a private letter to Joseph Hooker, Charles Darwin grumbled1: “The rapid development as far as we can judge of all the higher plants within recent geological times is an abominable mystery.” Although this abominable mystery is often cited today, and sometimes declared solved, few realize that the mystery is deeper today than it was for Darwin.'

I'm posting the lecture slides for my ongoing course on Machine Learning for Climate Change here <https://lindsay-lab.github.io/teaching/>, if you want to follow along or incorporate any material into your own teaching.
Very much a work-in-progress though, so don't hold me liable for mistakes!
