#Drosophila #Advent Day15: A new genus with Scaptomyza pallida, a widespread species that breeds as a generalist on decaying plants https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/BF00317362.pdf . Sister to the overly flamboyant Hawaiian Drosophila (#Idiomyia), the genus #Scaptomyza either invaded #Hawaii twice or evolved there and escaped three times https://academic.oup.com/genetics/article/209/1/1/5930949 . It is easy to sweep-net pallida from herbs or compost, and while these individuals may not look very pallid, other ones are more so http://www.drosophila.jp/jdd/class/030706/03070609.pdf

An ancient Egyptian "masterpiece" painting of birds flying and perching within a verdant marsh is so detailed, modern researchers can tell exactly which species artisans illustrated more than 3,300 years ago.

I spoke with the senior author, Matteo Iannacone of #SanRaffaele in Milan for the #EMBOPodcast earlier this year about models for #SarsCov2 research, including dramatic differences between aerosol vs intranasal exposure to the virus in mice - the #pathogenesis of the disease is very different.

In synthetic biology classes, I ask students what biological function they want to create, and one popular answer is "photosynthesis in mammals".

Now, it's achieved! The authors transplanted membrane-coated thylakoids into chondrocytes and mice! Congrats!

Corporate funding for #academia often causes unease about the independence and integrity of such #research. Now, a study shows that academia partnerships with the #energy sector are more favourably inclined towards fossil fuels than to #renewables.

File under shocking, but not surprising.

Maybe you want to kickstart your year with some great science at the #AEKCancerCongress?!
I am so intrigued by this list of speakers - it will cover so much more than an ordinary cancer conference and really lives up to the title: "Towards New Cancer Therapies"

Exciting to see institutions like @ragoninstitute joining Mastodon!

I love abandoned buildings. The original mini comic versions of my comic series Incredible Doom featured locations from the comic abandoned and rotting, partially because I just wanted to draw them that way.
If you like this stuff as much as I do, you should follow @AbandonedAmerica

Congrats to Mirati on the Dec 12 FDA approval of adagrasib (Krazati). This is the second KRAS-G12C inhibitor approval after Amgen's sotorasib in May 2021. Just a short time ago the conventional wisdom was that KRAS was undruggable. Med chem ftw!
