"I initially chose Drosophila because I thought its brain was of a tractable scale that it could be ‘solved’ within a reasonable timeframe. However, after more than a decade of studying fly neural circuits and behavior, I am now not so sure."

A study in @NatureMedicine identifies conserved microbiome features across clinical and geographical variations, which may enable cross-cohort microbiome-based predictions of outcomes in CAR-T cell immunotherapy. 🔒 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02234-6

ON SCREENWRITING: Read the Oscar-winning Script for EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
The 2023 Best Original Screenplay winner is an action-packed, heart-wrenching family drama…that’s also a marvel of technical screenwriting deserving of much study.

@v4169sgr Thank you.
Better without context:
"The next day I passed Jacques Chirac Street and entered the museum in the morning. It was 115°F outside."
@v4169sgr I really liked the Sleepwalkers - though I have not read in at least 20 years, and I don't know how well it holds (not as writing, but as science history, because Koestler's views in other fields, like biology, really don't hold up well at all).
"Orwell sat and waited, and waited, for Camus to arrive. He never turned up: he was laid up with an exacerbation of tuberculosis. They would never get the chance to meet again, and Orwell would die five years later, having lost his own battle with the same disease"

Epigenomes & transcriptomes are clearly related, and merit co-analysis.
If we're going to do spatial analyses, no reason (other than technical & financial!) that we shouldn't consider both transcriptomic & epigenetic assessments concurrently in these experiments too.

Wait, isn't that like a mission to learn the downhill skiing secrets of Rio de Janeiro???

You may find this ☝️ article interesting in the context of Omran's "epidemiological transition" from infectious disease to so-called "chronic disease" that was posited to have occurred in the USA circa 1970.
Interestingly, the CDC has a webpage heavily influenced by this concept of "chronic disease", with absolutely no mention of infectious disease, and an exasperating conflation of the terms "cause" and "risk factor":

There is increasing demand for synthetic DNA. But, our ability to make DNA lags behind our ability to sequence it. A Review in @NatRevChem discusses commercialized DNA synthesis technologies in the pursuit of closing the DNA writing gap. 🔒 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41570-022-00456-9
@Rahimilab Time to make some coffee, sit by the fire & reread the works of Wayne Potts & Edward Wakeland :)
@Rahimilab I suspect some of this may just be a bias of the time of data collection, as the general state of the T and B compartments are going to reflect the experience of a lifetime. A really interesting aspect here is the sibling relationship angle - it would be interesting to try to integrate this with what we know about assortative mating patterns & MHC.
