Eating too much #salt is not only bad for our blood pressure and cardiovascular system – it could also adversely impact the #ImmuneSystem, an international research team including #mdcBerlin's Dominik Müller, reports in @Cell_Metabolism: https://www.mdc-berlin.de/news/press/salt-cuts-energy-supply-immune-regulators @VIBLifeSciences

What can history teach us about how to advance gender #equity in STEM? In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, join us on 3/17 for a conversation between equity advocates Maike Sander @msanderlab & @raekaaiyar to reflect on the progress and challenges ahead: https://nyscf.org/events/the-road-to-equity-in-science/

'Moedas declarou que não deveria poder entrar em Portugal quem não tivesse previamente um contrato de trabalho, ou seja, vamos lá restringir isto. Claro que, se forem ricos, já a conversa é outra. Curiosamente, afirmou que esta questão não deve ser politizada. Se não tratarmos como políticas as questões relacionadas com a imigração, passamos a chamar a Carlos Moedas CEO de Lisboa em vez de presidente da câmara.'

Every asshole pundit and journalist who mansplained to those of us who were worried about exactly this happening should never be taken seriously again. They are not serious people, they are not smart people, and they don't know what the fuck is going on in the world around them.
'The Divine Comedy was also weaponized by Mussolini in pursuit of some of his most nefarious policies. When his regime approved the Racial Laws, legislation that persecuted Jews and stripped them of their civil rights, it cited two verses from “Paradiso” in its anti-Semitic propaganda.'

Good news! Although wow is meningococcal B serogroup a tough customer on the vaccine side of things- but 64% VE is way better than nothing.

Protecting #tissues from #autoimmunity is a fascinating function of the immune system: in this new work on #innateimmunity in the salivary gland it is #lymphoid #NKcells that regulate #TCells and prevented autoimmunity via TRAIL-dependent elimination of CD4+ T cells. These NK cells show adaptive-like features with long-term residency in non-lymphoid tissues. #immunology

3Dprint x-ray crystallography data as a ribbon. They make for amazing toy-like scientific models, or beautiful large-format works of art meant for display in museums or galleries. Submit a #3DPrint request and one of our visualization scientists will create a custom Biologic Model for you #biotech https://biologicmodels.com/3d-print-request/

In the acknowledgements of his paper "Phylogenies and the comparative method", Joseph Felsenstein writes, "The suggestion that pairs of closely related organisms could be used in a way that avoided the need to know the full phylogeny was made by a student during discussion following my seminar at the Department of Genetics, University College, London. Unfortunately, I have been unable to discover her name."
Do any of y'all know if this mystery woman's identity has ever been revealed?
The picture is from William Vollmann's "Europe Central" - but the quote also sums up an extraordinary book, Julian Barnes' novel about Shostakovich, "The Noise of Time".
