"Know less" seems generous:
'The Big Con of the book’s title is not a crime; it’s a confidence trick. Consultancies and outsourcers, Mazzucato argues, know less than they claim, cost more than they seem to, and — over the long term — prevent the public sector developing in-house capabilities.'

Interesting review about the role of sialic acids in interactions with gut microbes. Sialidases, transporters and metabolic enzymes particularly discussed.

"When Twitter announced on 2 February that the social media platform would end free access to its application programming interface (API) in a week, meaning tomorrow, a clock began ticking for Jean-Philippe Cointet. Like other researchers interested in topics such as political polarization or how misinformation spreads, the social scientist at Sciences Po uses the API to freely gather data on the hundreds of millions of tweets sent daily."

Excited to share our collaborative work with the @IngunnStromnes lab, out today in @NatureComms. Genome engineering and immunology join forces to create a powerful new model to study T cell development and function.

High quality research needs a supportive research environment. Our new paper in Nature Human Behaviour discusses how currently national academic systems fail to facilitate robust science.

The role of Evi/Wntless in exporting Wnt proteins
In their #OpenAccess Review, Lucie Wolf and Michael_Boutros summarise the mechanisms of Wnt ligand export and recent structural insights, with a focus on the Wnt transport protein Evi/Wntless.

There’s no doubt that the UK has been a massive net beneficiary of the Horizon Europe programme for research funding.
Oxford and Cambridge alone used to receive an annual £130m of EU funding but are now down to £1m between them.
Brash declarations to ”go it alone” or form a coalition with the US, Switzerland and Japan show stunning disregard of how science works.

'Back in Aix, his discussion circle had included not only Émile Zola, on a fast track to celebrity, but a formidable young scientist called Antoine-Fortuné Marion. It was Marion who alerted the group to the recent revolutions in thought advanced by Lyell and Darwin. Zola articulated their response in 1865: ‘I see in the study of geology a new faith, a faith both philosophical and religious.’'
