New #CRISPR evidence - from the Doudna and Banfield labs here at the @igisci - to sustain Darwin's timeless quote from the Origin of Species (came out on this day in 1859):
“There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; ... from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

NIH has a new site for anonymous secure reporting of at-home COVID test results:

@jocelyn_etienne This is turning into a period comedy of manners as well all try to learn the etiquette of the realm :)
@jocelyn_etienne @quokka @tfardet I don't really know enough to recommend (I'm on a different server)
"The incidence of new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) rose during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although children with SARS-CoV-2 infection are more likely to develop diabetes than their uninfected peers, prior reports did not distinguish T1DM from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Kendall et al. study confirms an increased risk of new-onset T1DM in children (aged ≤18 years) after SARS-CoV-2 infection."

Wild bats in Asia: “… we identified five viral species that are likely to be pathogenic to humans or livestock, including a novel recombinant SARS-like coronavirus that is closely related to both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV, with only five amino acid differences between its receptor-binding domain sequence and that of the earliest sequences of SARS-CoV-2” Preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.23.517609v1
@jocelyn_etienne @b_longdon I don't object in principle in any way - we are all trying to be civil here and curate our own timelines in a way that people know what to expect from them. I just don't think it is technically feasible at the moment (but I'm new here, and still learning my way around). Because I assume most of my community (I hate the term followers and maybe this migration is a great time to dump it) knows me from the bird site, they know it's mostly science but spiked with history, art, literature and, yes, politics.

I am enjoying reading lots of different introductions over the last days so I will hop on the train as well and introduce myself! 👋
I am a PhD student at the #neuroscience for motivation, action, and desire lab working with @nbkroemer 🧠
I am broadly interested in #decisionmaking and in my PhD I am incorporating a metabolic perspective to understand how the #gutbrainaxis influences neural communication, motivation and effort. 🏋️♂️
Many psychiatric disorders come along with both motivational and metabolic alterations so the gut-brain perspective might help us to better understand and treat disorders like #depression #anhedonia 🎯
Mostly here for all the diverse science 💡🤩
@jocelyn_etienne @b_longdon I'm not sure how that would work - wouldn't it be similar to a quote-tweet, which as I understand it, cannot be done.

The emergence of external peer review in the mid-20th century was enabled by the photocopier.* How can new technologies further improve scientific publishing? Help us map the space in preparation for a meeting next year! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xGvFTIXgwgIzaoos6IHxWQVgcrbetqyZSt7MSgFeInI/edit#gid=0 cc @PracheeAC

@jocelyn_etienne @b_longdon I can't speak for the original poster here, but I will be reserving CW tags for potentially offensive content (though I can't really see what that would be at the moment, I'm sure there will at the very least be some creative profanity from a David Simon type that I might boost) or distressing images or text (for example, clinical images or news item with violent content).

Marie Tharp’s 1953 map of the Atlantic seafloor helped prove the theory of continental drift, but the male geologist she collaborated with took the credit.

Okay this is cool! Long-distance membrane tension changes measured with optical traps while inducing actin protrusion at the opposite side of the cell. Just love the system! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.09.07.507005v1

On the picket line (in the rain) this morning trying to ask uni's for better conditions, pay and pensions for uni staff. Hard to see how we will retain staff or encourage students this is a good career choice if things continue as is. #ExeterUCU #UCURising #UCU #FalmouthUCU

No better place to do your PhD! Cannot recommend enough :D Amazing facility, and the friendliest people. I had the best time there. Moving away from that much support is hard for me, but while I was there, I enjoyed every minute of it.
