'No manifesto, os subscritores mostram-se “publicamente contra esta proposta”, já que “significaria abdicar definitivamente do ensino superior como serviço público universal e tendencialmente gratuito”. Consideram ainda que “as propinas são um obstáculo à democratização do acesso ao ensino superior”, rejeitando um “modelo de financiamento baseado no princípio de utilizador-pagador”.

Eye color genes are critical for retinal health: study in @PLOS Genetics by Elisabeth Knust, Director Emerita @mpicbg, and Sarita Hebbar. They investigated how four Drosophila genes, known to control eye color, are essential for health of retinal tissue. mpi-cbg.de/news-outreach/news- #genetics

Just woke up from my first ever conference nightmare. Couldn't find my room, had to wear mismatched socks, had to leave my kid unattended, lost my glove, my session was in a different day than I thought, arrived too late to it, moderator was giving me the evil eye, and my poster had printed wrong so it was an A4 size with tiny tiny letters and figures just at the top. BUT the poster format was kind of brilliant. The poster was attached to a stick and then all presenters walked around, waving their poster around like a flag. Much more effective in attracting attention I am sure. We should change this. #Petition #Posters #CognitiveScience #Neuroscience #VisionScience #CognitivePsychology #Conferences #VSS2023 #ECVP2023

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.'
