The move from a free-living environment to an endosymbiotic relationship has profound effects on bacterial function.
This #PLOSBiology Unsolved Mystery from John P McCutcheon &co explores how bacterial endosymbionts work with so few genes. #symbiosis

"Earth is a fire planet, the only one we know of. Earth has fire because it has life. Life created the oxygen fire needs; life created and arranges the fuel it requires. Even the chemistry of fire is a biochemistry: fire takes apart what photosynthesis puts together." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-are-living-in-the-pyrocene-at-our-peril/
'A Universidade de Buenos Aires, a maior e mais prestigiada instituição de ensino superior na Argentina, está em emergência orçamental e corre o risco de poder deixar de funcionar nos próximos meses. A direcção aponta o dedo ao Governo de Javier Milei, que se recusou a rever o orçamento disponível para a universidade.'

"Fuck you, Wayne": Amazon drivers have named all of their bad bosses nationwide "Wayne" as a way to vent about their terrible work conditions safely without being identified:
"The AI assessment aid works with electronic health records to digest 22 pieces of clinical information and biomarkers before assigning a patient to one of four risk levels linked to the possibility of developing sepsis complications. The system itself does not provide alerts but aims to give staff time to plan for a potentially longer hospital stay as well as a patient’s need for intensive care or ventilation."

'In Brazil, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, a vaccine manufacturer and the largest biomedical research institute in Latin America, recently partnered with a US-based nonprofit called Caring Cross to help develop local CAR-T manufacturing capabilities. Caring Cross has developed a point-of-care manufacturing process able to generate CAR-T therapies for an even lower cost—roughly $20,000 in materials and $10,000 in labor and facilities.'

Laura Trump and the RNC furthering the big lie with robocalls
"We all know the problems: No photo IDs, unsecured ballot drop boxes, mass mailing of ballots…
“voter rolls chock full of deceased people and non-citizens…
“Your vote could be canceled out by someone who isn't even an American citizen."
This is what happens when when there are no penalties.

Corporate crime is notoriously underpoliced and underprosecuted. Mostly, that's because we just choose not to do anything about it. American corporations commit crimes at 20X the rate of real humans, and their crimes are far worse than any crime committed by a human, but they are almost never prosecuted:

@_L1vY_ Mental health apps generate private medical data.[8] A lot of it.[9] And because the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) does not apply to most mental health apps,[10] this data can be shared or sold–legally–to third parties, even without user consent.[11]

Interesting study comparing responses of cultured primary nasal epithelial cells across ages to SARsCOV2. Differences in nasal epithelium seen with fewer mucus producing goblet cells, reduced interferon production, higher viral replication and fibrotic indicators with older ages. They only looked at one strain- curious if would differ in strains where we have seen worse outcomes for kids. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-024-01658-1

"Peer-reviewed research by 11 Australian academics found the country’s main technique used to create carbon offsets was largely a failure and mostly not really drawing additional CO2 from the atmosphere as promised. ,..., This matters because the country’s big polluters are using these offsets to claim they are reducing their pollution.

'Seventy-five percent of the references in NCBI/PubMed to the search word “symbiosis” (first present in 1913) have been published since 2006, as have 99% of the references to “microbiota” (first appearing in 1956). This new knowledge base will change subdisciplines of biology to varying degrees. Some areas, such as biomechanics, are likely to be little affected, but others, including immunology and developmental biology, evolutionary biology, and neurobiology, are already experiencing a reshaping as symbiosis is incorporated into their research frameworks.'
