'I also knew from Elmyr’s story that provenance—the history of who had owned an artwork and where it had been—could be a problem. So, rather than do a Chagall or Monet or Picasso painting, I decided to do a little drawing that was meant to be a fake Chagall, signed by de Hory, who, with the release of Fake!, had become notorious.

If you’re a shareholder in Tesla (auto maker), how do you feel about your staff working for Twitter? (On the team returning hate speech to the platform.)

"A study has now linked APOE4 with faulty cholesterol processing in the brain, which in turn leads to defects in the insulating sheaths that surround nerve fibres and facilitate their electrical activity. Preliminary results hint that these changes could cause memory and learning deficits. And the work suggests that drugs that restore the brain’s cholesterol processing could treat the disease."

Hey there! I'm an Assistant Professor at #UCLA studying mouse and human #innateimmunity using #systemsimmunology and #crispr to find new targets for chronic viral infections, #T2D and #cancer. I mainly focus on #type1 immune responses including #NKcells #cDC1 and #ILC1. I started #earlycareerimmunology in 2021 to highlight underrepresented scientists early in their career. I'm here to post about #science, #art, #travel, #cat photos, and congratulate you on your wins 🥳🎉.
No way!

An introduction:
We are a group of microbiologists, biochemists and structural biologists at the University of Sheffield studying the molecular basis of bacterial cell physiology, virulence and pathogen-host interactions

"Like all forms of climate defeatism, giving up on 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) is a conversation for the privileged. 1.5 degrees of warming will already cause vast destruction to climate-vulnerable places, such as communities reliant upon coral reefs. For many more parts of the world, an additional 0.5 degree of warming is the difference between losing one’s house and losing one’s homeland. Unlike the climate threats faced by the wealthy, including the dignitaries and well-heeled NGO staff at COP27, the question for these communities boils down to survival, not strategy."

"In the early 1990s, two ideas were central to views of early eukaryotic evolution. One was that the “three domains tree of life” was an accurate description of the relationships between eukaryotes and prokaryotes (Woese et al. 1990). The other was that some anaerobic and/or parasitic microbial eukaryotes that branched at the base of eukaryotes in this tree were primitively without mitochondria because they split from other eukaryotes before the mitochondrial endosymbiosis (Cavalier-Smith 1987). I’ve spent most of the last 30 years testing these ideas, and, while it has often been difficult and frustrating, it has also been tremendously exciting and a lot of fun."

Amazing work from Donna Farber. Likely very important to help understand how #ImmuneHealth changes over time.

Read a bunch of the articles as they've been released, but love this special issue from the Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education on teaching reproducibility.

'Pinello’s lab and others have shown how ancestry mismatches can cause CRISPR to cut the genome in the wrong spot when it is used to treat diseases such as sickle cell disorder, which mainly affects people of African ancestry. Such off-target cuts could lead to cancer. The CRISPR ancestry problem is an example of how excluding diverse populations in genomics studies “may inevitably contribute to cancer health inequity,”'

@cyrilpedia @TrendsNeuro Thank you for amplifying this - it's a really important point, I think. Joe LeDoux @amygdaloid has been saying this for a while now. I fear that way too few have been listening.
In my mind, we understand so little about brain function, that the neural correlates of nearly anything are valuable. Work on the amygdala is unquestionably that. But taking that next step toward translational impact - how will the amygdala fit in? That's the discussion that needs to be had.
