To anyone out there interested in #OpenScience--whether you've heard of it and want to learn more, are actively practicing it and want to hear from colleagues, or have never heard of it before but your quick search piques your interest--some Open Science Fellows here at UGA are putting on a brief seminar series on Open Science, starting this Monday, and *anyone* who is interested in invited!

If you'd like to attend, please DM me for the zoom info. And feel free to pass this along / boost!

For Throwback Thursday, from our Darwin Exhibition catalogue (2009), a shout-out to the trio at the Naval Museum in Lisbon that built our HMS Beagle model, Paula Galrinho, José Galrinho, and José Lopes. The riggings were very accurate, so that the 1.61m (1:27) long model used up three kilometres of thread!

"Dozens of the world’s largest natural history museums revealed on Thursday a survey of everything in their collections. The global inventory is made up of 1.1 billion objects that range from dinosaur skulls to pollen grains to mosquitoes."
Really interesting piece by @Carl_Zimmer at the NYT

Dream the Repair Master sounds like a Neil Gaiman plot but is actually a paper from Björn Schumacher et al

'We show that the DREAM complex transcriptionally represses essentially all DNA-repair systems and thus operates as a highly conserved master regulator of the somatic limitation of DNA-repair capacities.'

'The Type 2 effector functions that clear worms from the intestine, collectively referred to as “weep and sweep,” require the coordination of multiple signals.'

Enquanto há quem nos queira convencer de que o que leva os jovens a emigar são os impostos sobre os escalões mais altos de rendimento, quem estuda a sério o fenómeno no Observatório da Emigração percebe que o problema está mesmo nos salários baixos pagos pelas empresas.
