I am taking a break from Twitter for next while. Failure to moderate this community for crypto spam bots, covid misinfo, and a general rise in hate speech on the platform is the reason.
Find me on @joinmastodon@twitter.com : MarkHanson@drosophila.social

I just taught my "problems in taxonomy" lecture. I always give this fantastic website as home reading. Someday I will find out who created it - a marvelous collection of puns, insults and wordplay in biological nomenclature. If you know who made it... tell them to contact me #evolution https://www.curioustaxonomy.net/puns/puns.html

News in Switzerland discusses that scientists are leaving Twitter, seems true- #Mastodon is getting as informative and relevant for me at least
Tom Stoppard on his new play, Leopoldstadt
“In a scene that takes place in 1955,” says the great playwright, perhaps our greatest, now 85 years old, “the young Englishman says to the Jewish man, ‘It can’t happen again.’ It’s almost a foolish remark now. Whereas when the play was being written, I didn’t think of it as being a foolish remark.”

'We systematically reviewed gene editing clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov using a searching strategy that included all different gene editing technologies, followed by two rounds of independent assessment based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, data extraction, and review of the background publications. 76 trials met our inclusion criteria including 30 studies on genetically engineered T-cell therapies for cancer, 19 studies on virus infections, and 26 studies on monogenic diseases.'

'The hysteria around immigration has been all the more marked in the last few days because of record net migration numbers. Conservatives and Labour’s instinct seems to be to shout even louder about reducing it. But this could be an poor political calculation for both parties: recent research by the Institute for Public Policy Research think tank suggests the British public are less bothered by immigration and more positive about increasing it.'

Delivering ICIs to the brain
"Assessment of the BBB/BTB physical and molecular properties, anti-PD1 penetration and uptake, and its impact on immune cell trafficking, along with monitoring of treatment response rates and durability are used to test our hypothesis and support the effective integration and translation to the clinics of brain cancer immunotherapy with MB-FUS and immune checkpoint blockade."

The existence of messenger RNA (mRNA) and its role in producing protein was demonstrated in 1961 by several groups, coming at the problem from different angles. It is a remarkable story of early molecular biology, told well by @matthewcobb in his essay "Who discovered messenger RNA?"
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982215006065#bib12
Now "mRNA" is trending on Twitter as the target of anti-vaccine posts. Who would have thought that mRNA would be reviled and feared 60 years after its discovery?
