TRANSPARENT FROGS
Resting glassfrogs increase transparency two- to threefold by removing ~89% of their RBCs from circulation and packing them within their liver.

Do you want to know what regulatory interactions underlie changes in gene expression or chromatin state in your model system? Do you have transcriptome or epigenome data? Consider using our free online regulatory genomics tools:

WHO's emergencies director Mike Ryan: "In China, what's been reported is relatively low numbers of cases in ICUs, but anecdotally ICUs are filling up…I wouldn't like to say that China is…not telling us what's going on. I think they're behind the curve."

For #ThrowbackThursday, an episode of the #EMBOPodcast that aired this summer:
Orian Shirihai tells the story of a classic @embojournal paper on the mitochondrial life cycle.
The episode, "Fuse or Die" highlights the importance of my personal nemesis, the well-organised lab notebook.

'Many hospitals offer exclusive concierge services to the rich. But emergency rooms are built around the premise of medical triage: that the sickest patients, regardless of their ability to pay, are treated first. Everyone else has to wait.
At NYU Langone, one of the country’s pre-eminent medical institutions, some doctors said that process had been upended.'
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/health/nyu-langone-emergency-room-vip.html
"The privileged treatment is part of a broader pattern, a Times investigation found. For years, NYU’s emergency room in Manhattan has secretly given priority to donors, trustees, politicians, celebrities, and their friends and family, according to 45 medical workers, internal hospital records and other confidential documents reviewed by The Times."

“Wound Man” is an illustration which first appeared in European surgical texts during the Middle Ages. It laid out schematically the various wounds a person might suffer in battle or in accidents, often with surrounding or accompanying text stating treatments for the these injuries. This particular “Wound Man” dates to the 15th century and is part of the Wellcome Collection in London.
Which “wound” are you today?!

Did the first Americans arrive 15,000 years ago, 40,000 years ago, or 130,000 years ago? Geneticists and archeologists are working with indigenous peoples to try to figure it out. The great @JenniferRaff@twitter.com gives us a glimpse of how it is going. https://aeon.co/essays/the-first-americans-a-story-of-wonderful-uncertain-science via @aeonmag@twitter.com

"Here, we tested the ability of the #leishmania major sphingolipids inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), and ceramide to shelter ergosterol by preventing binding and cytotoxicity of the sterol-specific toxins streptolysin O and perfringolysin O using flow cytometry. In contrast to mammalian systems, Leishmania sphingolipids did not preclude toxin binding to sterols in the membrane. However, IPC interfered with cytotoxicity."

"Household versus incentive-based contact investigation for #tuberculosis in rural South Africa: a cluster-randomized trial"
Incentive-based (small cash incentives for index and up to ten contacts) approach as effective as traditional household-based. No incompatible approaches , but complementary.

The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

"Americans remain shaken by the covid experience, including the government’s feeble and at times counterproductive responses. The coronavirus cost more than 1 million Americans their lives and left millions more disabled by extreme fatigue, neurological issues and other symptoms of long covid. At the same time, people are angry that government efforts to keep covid from causing even more harm cost many their jobs, set children back in academic development, and led to an uptick in depression and poverty.
Better public health policies could have prevented this devastation."
