All onboard a night train! 🚆
Rail is one of the most sustainable means of transport we have, but cross-border trips account for just 7% of the kilometres travelled by train.
This is why we are supporting 10 pilot projects to create new international train connections in the EU.
They will help us improve the quality of service and make them a viable option for more people.

What makes people cough? @KnowableMag takes a look at how and why we cough, and some of the ways that coughing can go wrong.
Read "New views of a cough: From TB and chronic cough to hope for Parkinson’s"
➡️ https://arevie.ws/CoughKnowable
Take a deeper dive: Read "Infectious and Inflammatory Pathways to Cough" in the Annual Review of Physiology

'Using RNAseq on blood from nine primate species exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharides, we fit phylogenetic models and discovered hypermetric scaling in innate immune gene responses. We speculate that immune allometries may lead to asymmetrical expectations for virulence of zoonotic pathogens, such that diseases originating in smaller species may cause more severe immunopathology in larger species.'

'Overall, our study identifies a previously unrecognized function of STING in negatively regulating anti-fungal immune responses and offers a potential therapeutic strategy for controlling C. albicansinfection.'

'A week before New York City’s app-based delivery workers were poised to see an hourly minimum wage increase, several tech companies fired a legal salvo that has temporarily delayed this change.'
'I suspect Cornwell’s alias was a private joke, and a simple one. For English readers, “le Carré” has continental allure, a whiff of danger or sophistication. But its literal translation implies the opposite: In French, “le carré” means “the square” — the rule follower, the law abider, the fuddy-duddy.'

We see it every night, but the darkness of the night sky baffled scientists for centuries.
⭐ As experts from @UnivParisSaclay, @unicomplutense, @UAM_Madrid + @uwanews write, we can accurately determine the number of stars in the sky – but puzzles remain. https://t.co/PyMOAmaHsG

This is a polymetallic nodule, about the size of a potato, formed over ~2 millions years at the seabed. This is what the fuss is about. This environment changes incredibly slowly, and the plumes of sediment thrown up by mining would spread and settle on distant seabed. But these ecosystems only form where the natural sediment from above is utterly minuscule. Most of the creatures found with the nodules are singletons - just one of their species. #ocean #seabed #nodule

Vomitorium, Roman theater, #Cartagena, #Spain.
Originally the word "vomitorium" was related to the meaning of expeling, and a vomitorium was simply the exit, the means of leaving the theatre.
At some point the word vomit came to mean "unexpected and possibly violent exit of half-digested food from the inside of the body".

DeXtrusion: automatic recognition of epithelial cell extrusion through machine learning in vivo
Read this #OpenAccess Techniques and Resources Article by Alexis Villars, Gaëlle Letort, Léo Valon and Romain Levayer from Institut Pasteur:
'Humans transmitted the coronavirus to white-tailed deer more than 100 times in late 2021 and early 2022, according to new research led by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The research also suggests that the virus probably spread widely among deer, that it mutated in the animals and that they may have passed these altered versions of the virus back to people at least three times.'
'The EU has hit Illumina with a record fine after the world’s largest gene sequencing company completed an $8bn acquisition without the approval of Brussels, violating what regulators said was the “cornerstone” of their authority.'

Nice review from Nature Magazine for THE THREE AGES OF WATER.
"With eloquence and practicality, [Gleick's] essential book discusses the First Age of Water, from the Stone Age to the start of the modern era; the Second Age, of agricultural, industrial and technological revolutions; and the policies required for the Third Age, of sustainability, if civilization is to survive."
