'Whereas most new cancer drugs afford modest benefits,2approved drugs or those in development may be heralded as “game changers” or “breakthroughs” in the lay press. These news articles may be important sources of information to patients, the public, and investors—with a broader reach than medical journal articles. However, omission of medical context or use of inflated descriptors may lead to misunderstandings among readers.'

"However, when similar flight paths are compared across conditions, the stability of the hippocampal code persists."
Doesn't this mean that "place cell" is a misnomer (for such firing patterns)? They're really "place+trajectory" cells. Shouldn't a "true" place cell be path-invariant?
Credit-assigning on such invariant reps is presumably needed somewhere in the system in order to drive flexible navigation, no?
"In many cases, Dr. David found, images in the papers had been stretched, obscured or spliced together in a way that suggested deliberate attempts to mislead readers. The studies he flagged included some published by Dana-Farber’s chief executive, Dr. Laurie Glimcher, and its chief operating officer, Dr. William Hahn."

Tools.
"To improve the effectiveness of prime editing in hPSCs, we systematically compared and combined the "inhibition of mismatch repair pathway and p53" on top of the "PEmax" to generate an all-in-one "PE-Plus" prime editor. We show that PE-Plus conducts the most efficient editing among the current PE tools in hPSCs."

'As the Norwegian historian Camilla Mørk Røstvik notes in Cash Flow, the “menstrual economy” is booming, expected to reach $27.7 billion by 2025.
Cash Flow describes the rise of this industry through a series of case studies from 1945 to the present, showing how the development and marketing of various menstrual products has at times catalyzed, at other times mirrored, seismic economic and cultural shifts around the world.'

I have the wonderful privilege of giving interactive art museum tours to young kids. The other day I asked a quiet 2nd grader who was enthralled by a Dorothea Lange photo from the Great Depression what he thought was going on in the photo. His interpretation was thoughtful and perceptive. After praising his response he came back with “my grandma taught me to look for the secrets in art.” Yay for grandmothers!
