Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was born #OTD in 1780.
Ingres was profoundly influenced by past artistic traditions and aspired to become the guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style. His expressive distortions of form and space made him an important precursor of modern art, influencing Picasso, Matisse and other modernists. via @wikipedia

@anneurai @biorxivpreprint @cyrilpedia I believe this capability exists already. There's a bell icon with “Follow this preprint" on the preprint's main page. The pop-up says “You can now receive automatic notifications when a preprint is revised, withdrawn, commented on, peer reviewed, or published in a journal.” I haven't tried it out though!
“The survival rate in the United States, where around 22 percent of patients die every year, is the lowest in the industrialized world,” says Leonard Stern. “The mortality in Japan is only 5 to 6 percent per year, and in Western Europe it’s in the range of 9 to 12 percent per year. So what is the difference? Well, for a start, most dialyzing in the United States is done for profit, and the for-profit survival is always less than the not-for-profit.”

John Locke was born #OTD in 1632. He developed an alternative to the Hobbesian state of nature and asserted a government could be good only if it received the consent of the governed and protected the natural rights of life, liberty, and estate. via @wikipedia

@anneurai @biorxivpreprint For the work just outside (or far outside) one's field it would also be helpful to receive a notice if the preprint is feature in a News & Views-style piece or review. cc @richardsever

Idea for @biorxivpreprint: could one sign up to receive an alert when a preprint is either published in a journal, or e.g. after one year?
This would be great to follow work just outside one's field, where the most complete/final piece would be of higher interest than the earliest version.
'Kidneys even have a sense of smell. To sift hundreds of blood and urine chemicals on the fly, expelling some and husbanding others in precise quantities, kidneys employ odor receptors similar to those found in the nose. “The kidney is sniffing the urine and the blood plasma as they go by,” says Jennifer Pluznick, associate professor of physiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who discovered the organ’s olfactory gifts. “The kidney’s attention to detail is astounding. I’m convinced it has many other long-held secrets which are waiting to be discovered.”

'The pigment cells of the sea urchin were also found to be similar to immune and neural cell types in the sea star. Based on the genes shared between them, Meyer et al. propose that pigment cells have a dual role (immune and neural) in sea urchin larvae, while these functions are exerted by two separate cell types in sea stars (Figure 1B).'
