Today in dystopian UK news:
NHS — “Junior doctors paid lower hourly rate than workers to get at [popular fastfood restaurant]” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/mar/12/junior-doctors-paid-lower-hourly-rate-than-workers-to-get-at-pret
Universities — “One in five students at top universities consider dropping out over cost of living. A quarter are regularly going without food and other essentials” https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/mar/12/one-in-five-students-at-top-universities-consider-dropping-out-over-cost-of-living
Can the #UK please stop imitating [infamous southern European country]. No matter how well you do it, the sun won’t shine as much.

They think masks can't stop aerosols or droplets but can stop CO2.
This is a real brain trust.
'Há novas polémicas envolvendo o mestrado integrado em Medicina da Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP), recentemente aprovado pela Agência de Avaliação e Acreditação do Ensino Superior (A3ES). Há médicos apontados como futuros orientadores dos estudantes cujos nomes integraram o processo de candidatura à sua revelia.'

RT @nickmmark
The usual anti-vax suspects are talking about a paper “proving masks raise CO2 to harmful levels.”
Well I read it and it’s a bunch of non clinical wackos who used the wrong equipment to accidentally measure end tidal CO2.
A debunking 🧵

'One of the most striking aspects of the modern information environment, as many people have observed, is the almost total collapse of local and even regional news outlets. Where once every town or city of even minor consequence had a newspaper — with reporters who helped the community understand itself through their work — now there are large parts of the country that exist in news deserts, where there is little coverage of anything, from local government to local events.'

Probably good to be seen by infectious diseases clinicians if you have an enterococcal bacteremia
The real question to me is whether a good quality remote microbiology consult is as good.

New posting! This is another #HowTo one, focused on writing the #Results sections of scientific #manuscripts (earlier postings in this series have focused on writing scientific reports as a whole, and more granular considerations of the writing of Figure legends and Materials & Methods sections).
As always, this represents "a" way and not "the" way, but I hope it's helpful. Comments/thoughts/feedback very welcome. 👍

Co-evolution of viruses and mammalian hormone ligands (and their receptors)? An interesting concept. The former conceived by Mike Wallis in an essay (same issue of BioEssays).

This is a classic example of a completely cynical, dishonest removal of a public official purely for use as a prop in political campaigning. Read the whole thing & try to find an alternate explanation. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/11/us/politics/desantis-andrew-warren-liberal-prosecutor.html
One can hope...
"The Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, former first lady of South Africa and Mozambique Graça Machel and former UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon are among nearly 200 signatories to a letter calling on governments to “never again” allow “profiteering and nationalism” to come before the needs of humanity, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic."
'We generated personalized libraries of neoantigen–HLA capture reagents to single-cell isolate the T cells and clone their T cell receptors (neoTCRs). Multiple T cells with different neoTCR sequences (T cell clonotypes) recognized a limited number of mutations in samples from seven patients with long-lasting clinical responses.'

If you’re interested in #statistics, #Metascience, #openScience, #pHacking, etc., this is quite a good read.
