It's hard to capture in a photo the sheer scale of Hew Locke's "Procession" at the Tate Britain - what an incredible surprise (we'd gone to Cornelia Parker retrospective, did not expect to see this at all).
More on the avian flu jump to mammalian hosts (in Spanish):
"Un estudio científico sugiere ahora que el virus de la gripe aviar saltó desde las aves silvestres a los visones y mutó en la explotación, empezando a transmitirse de mamífero a mamífero, sin llegar a infectar a los trabajadores de la granja, equipados con mascarillas."
"It is not just in the areas of electronics and digital technologies that Grenoble outperforms larger French cities. Grenoble Alpes University (UGA) comes fifth when French universities are ranked by the number of articles that list their researchers as authors in 82 leading natural-science journals in the year from October 2021 to September 2022 by Nature Index. Almost one in 13 jobs in the region are in research and development (R&D) — the highest proportion of all French metropolitan areas"

@dpaxorales Not defined yet, per the Time piece
"The F.D.A. advisers said they would like to see detailed information regarding who is most vulnerable to the virus and to make decisions about future vaccination strategy based on those data."
@clathrin Different vibe, but my favorite Lisbon act for sure

If I was a #teacher in #Florida, I would no longer be a teacher in Florida.
If I was a #parent of a #school aged #child I would be moving my family out of Florida.
Teachers in Florida are now under threat of a 3rd degree #felony if the allow access to any book not on the specifically state-allowed books for kids to read. According to the comments I have seen from several teachers, this list is next to impossible to obtain - so they are having to remove everything but textbooks from their classrooms.
This is oppressive dictatorship stuff. These people love calling everyone else "communists" but this is exactly the sort of things that #communist rulers have done in China, Russia, and North Korea.
@halama_immuno Absolutely! And the data from trials with negative results should be made available

@cyrilpedia Relevant reporting in the field of #translationalmedicine because not every "negative" #Trial is also uninformative...it is quite the opposite, every patient counts.

Super cool preprint from @florsheim_eb+@RMedzhitov! Mice are averse to eating allergens they are sensitized to, and there’s a neuro-immune explanation! Clinicians tell me all the time that kids significantly dislike the taste of their food allergen. (1/6) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.19.524823v1.full.pdf

@cyrilpedia Not a high bar - #GeneticDrift sensu strictu isn't very important. The real question is randomness due to mutation + recombination + migration (origination rather than subsequent drift of variants) vs the external environment. A bit of a hobby horse of mine: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(11)00882-7 and https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/bies.201100178
