'Old and newly synthesized histones are asymmetrically distributed and inherited in Drosophila intestinal stem cell divisions. Disruption of asymmetric histone inheritance compromises stem cell differentiation, indicating a role in regulating cell fates in adult stem lineages in vivo.'

@JoannaMasel talk on "Solving the mutation load paradox via asymmetric effect sizes of deleterious and beneficial fixations offers an alternative to drift barrier theory" is coming up in ten minutes in Population Genetics symposium at #Evol2023!
Good for them:
"Thousands of early-career researchers at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) have kickstarted the process to form a union. They are calling on the NIH — the world’s largest biomedical funder — to raise pay and improve benefits, as well as to bolster its policies and procedures against harassment and excessive workloads."
'Illicit fentanyl kills users more quickly than any other drug to ever appear on American streets. Preliminary data from the CDC show that overdose deaths hit an all-time high in 2022, at nearly 110,000—almost 70 percent of which involved fentanyl.'

Brave new world
'In the ChatGPT era, we face a future of low-quality content automatically churned out, itself “read” only by other algorithms as they train themselves up and by bots generating fraudulent ad clicks—a “gray goo” internet created by algorithms, for algorithms, and shunned by everyone with a pulse.'

Flies galore, of the parasitoid kind:
Tachinid fly, Gymnostoma rotundanum http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/165099855 . The #Tachinidae lay eggs on the surface of their host—often other insects—with such strong glue that removing the egg would kill the host. Often even drop larvae directly on the hosts.
Thick-headed fly, Physocephala visatta http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/165098840 The #Conopidae are internal parasites of bees and wasps—intercepting them in mid flight, the female’s abdomen has a “can opener” to insert an egg between the abdominal tergites of the host.
Beefly, Lasiopa sp. http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/165105614 The #Bombylidae drop their eggs while in flight near the entrance of solitary bee nests. The larvae crawl in and take over the bee’s resources of nectar and pollen, either starving or directly eating the bee larva.
All the adults happily sip nectar; the larvae, meanwhile, rival parasitoid wasps in their lifestyle and effectiveness.

'This is also a broader issue. The UK’s share of global pharma R&D has dropped sharply since 2012, from 7.7 per cent to 4.2 per cent in 2020. Manufacturing has fallen since 2015, according to the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, along with exports. '

'All over Europe, the police made the mistake of assuming that the next revolutionary outbreak would be the work of a handful of trained conspirators. The explosion of almost spontaneous mass uprisings by ‘the people’ – the pattern of 1848 – took governments, liberal reformers and even Count Metternich, the supreme architect of Europe’s post-1815 order, by surprise'

'The essential problem is that human language is not just about saying what and where things are and which qualities they harbor, such as being green or tall. Language is about what happened, what’s different, what’s on the move. At its core, language is all about the action — to wit, the verbs.'
