Anne Collier era uma das pessoas responsáveis pela segurança e moderação no Twitter. Ela e dois colegas demitiram-se hoje, em colisão com Musk.
Mike Cernovich é um neo-fascista responsável por uma máquina de fake news e promotor de teorias do QAnon.
Instrumentalizando o tema da pedofilia (técnica habitual do QAnon), Cernovich ataca Collier.
Musk sai em defesa do neo-fascista, atacando a perita em segurança e moderação digital.
A mini-novela termina com o ex-dono do Twitter a desmentir Musk.
'In #malaria parasites, sexual reproduction coincides with transmission to the vector host. Sex determination is non-genetic, with each haploid parasite capable of producing either a male or a female gametocyte in the human host. The hierarchy of events and molecular mechanisms that trigger sex determination and maintenance of sexual identity are yet to be elucidated.'

'It is remarkable, for example, that much of the funding for challenging current practice in evolutionary biology comes from The John Templeton Foundation (Pennisi 2016), which is committed to using science to reveal underlying purpose, and rejecting what Nagel (2012) calls “the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature”. But perhaps this is just history repeating itself as farce: if poetry couldn’t save us, nothing on the laundry lists will either.'

Did you know that for centuries, a “gossip” was a woman who attended her pregnant daughter’s, sister’s, or friend’s delivery? The word was a corruption of “god-sib” or “god-sibling,” meaning “sister in the Lord.” The gossips offered emotional and physical support to mother and midwife. It was only later that the term took on a derogatory meaning.

"The pandemic has been a very challenging time for preprints in the Health Sciences. There was a lot of media reporting on preprints in the early days of the pandemic. Many of these didn't get to be published and had serious flaws"

Delighted to share that my first ever first-author paper is now out from Cell Reports! We started out with a gene, a behavioral phenotype, and no idea what was going on at the circuit level to link those things. Classic genetic methods (temporal-specific and cell-type-specific rescue) told us the gene acts acutely in neurons-- but which ones? We developed a computational method that ended up IDing a new projection to the decision-making circuit! https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(22)01678-3

'Tutankhamun himself was beset with poor health. CT scans and DNA analysis of his mummified body have revealed that he suffered from a cleft palate, withered leg (he walked with the aid of a stick, several examples of which were buried with him), and multiple bouts of malaria. His death, before he reached his 20s, was not unusual for the time.'

During winter in lockdown, myself and a few friends had a #photography project which was basically walking around the streets at night, taking photos of #Bristol and the 'nightlife' that remained when we were without our usual social venues. It was actually really good for our collective mental health to have something to focus on, and important to document a time in our lives that was just really weird.
Big effort @BRxAD & co looking at impact of #COVID19 on #AMR.
Heterogeneity in many factors but possibly some increase in Gram negative resistance seen overall.

"These endosymbiont-targeted proteins (ETPs) include two proteins annotated as dynamin-like protein and peptidoglycan hydrolase that form a ring-shaped structure around the endosymbiont division site that remarkably resembles organellar division machineries."

'Details emerging after the biggest ever national police operation against rightwing extremism indicate that suspects may have been informed in advance of the raids, in which 3,000 police officers targeted more than 150 addresses across Germany, and in Austria and Italy, making 25 arrests.'
In #JapaneseFolklore iwana bozu are char (a type of river fish) who grow to an enormous size and transform into #yokai. They're able to shapeshift into human form, dress in Buddhist priest's robes, walk and talk. Mostly they approach people who are fishing in rivers to ask them to stop, and to avoid needless killing and to take only what they need. Most people think they're priests and don't consider the possibility of them being yokai until after they've left.
