Haaretz editorial: A Convicted Criminal as Israel’s Super Police Chief
“…not just a blow against the separation of powers but a serious danger to the rights of Israel’s Arab citizens….the fact that it will be in the hands of a pyromaniac like Ben-Gvir only magnifies the danger.”

That's embarrassing. Marcel Levi, the president of Dutch science funding agency NWO, wrote a newspaper column ridiculing the concept of social safety at work as a "meaningless buzzword" and said people use it just to get a new desk chair or a faster computer.
The Dutch academic community, still reeling from a major misbehavior case, was aghast; five days later, Levi was upbraided by his own Executive Board and apologized profusely. https://www.nwo.nl/en/news/marcel-levi-social-safety-paramount-importance-academia

Huge study showing 62% more likely chance of developing diabetes after #Covid_19 (compared to if you don’t get covid), especially in the first 3 months. Even in kids! #WearAMask

I didn’t realize that the Dutch fought for their bike lanes. There’s a lot of history within this that I’m currently naive about but excited to learn!
Here’s the article I’m starting with — How the Dutch got Their Cycle Paths: https://www.pps.org/article/how-the-dutch-got-their-cycle-paths
"The situation at Cambridge worsened for Bateson as he began expanding his research group. Bateson was sympathetic to the women’s suffrage movement in which his mother Anna Aitkin and sisters Margaret, Anna, and Mary Bateson were prominently involved (Box 1). He welcomed women into his laboratory group. Some of the first papers from his group were coauthored by his sister Anna who also worked with Francis Darwin (botanist and son of Charles Darwin) during her studies at Cambridge. However, Sedgwick strongly disapproved of women in the academy, and this principled position cost Bateson throughout his career. Though he was employed at Cambridge for the entirety of his career, his promotion was overlooked for more than a decade. Nevertheless, his integrity remained intact and his collaborations with many female scientists including Edith Saunders, later referred to as the “mother of British plant genetics” [23], were incredibly productive (Box 2)."

Some really great #DevBiol #CellBio UK names on the latest @ERC_Research list of 2022- CONGRATULATIONS all! https://erc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/document/file/erc_2021_stg_results_ls.pdf
Even better now we finally have some clarity on UK Horizon commitments to those currently caught up in the uncertainty- : https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2022-11-21/hcws376

Me miscalculating the time it would take me to join a zoom
"Our analysis reveals an ancestral gene regulatory feedback loop connecting Brachyury, FoxA and canonical Wnt signalling involved in axial patterning that predates the cnidarian–bilaterian split about 700 million years ago. Surprisingly, we also found that part of the gene regulatory network controlling the fate of neuromesodermal progenitors in vertebrates was already present in the common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians."

Time for #introduction.
My name is Emmanuel « Manu » Margeat.
I develop and use single molecule fluorescence , including #smFRET, #FCS, and #SPT.
My research focuses on elucidating the structural dynamics and the interactions of #membrane #proteins, in vitro and in living cells.
I am strongly involved in research management, serving as deputy director of the #CBS, the Centre de Biologie Structurale in Montpellier , or as Council member for the french and the american Biophysical Society #BPS.

"In the U.S.’s efforts to 'move on' from thinking about #Covid, it has created a 'new normal' that is deeply abnormal — one in which we normalize resorting to crisis measures, such as treating patients in tents, instead of using common-sense public health strategies. Treating Covid like the flu — or the #flu like Covid — has effectively meant that we treat neither illness as if it were a serious threat to health systems and to public health."

Ensitrelvir for treatment of COVID-19 gets approved in Japan.
'Yet today’s physicists rarely debate what time is and why we experience it the way we do, remembering the past but never the future. Instead, researchers build ever-more accurate clocks. The current record-holder, at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in Colorado, measures the vibration of strontium atoms; it is accurate to 1 second in 15 billion years, roughly the entire age of the known universe. Impressive, but it does not answer ‘What is time?’'

The Paolo Macchiarini saga continues:
"A Swedish court has found an Italian surgeon, once hailed for pioneering windpipe surgery, guilty of causing bodily harm to a patient, but cleared him of assault charges."
