The Multiscale Genome Organization subgroup of the Biophysical Society is pleased to announce travel awards to pay the full cost of travel to attend the Biophysical Society meeting, up to $1,500. Awards are open to students and
postdoctoral scholars who work in the US. Please email applications to Jeff Wereszczynski (jwereszc@iit.edu)
and Catherine Musselman (catherine.musselman@cuanschutz.edu) by January 6,
2023. Those from communities underrepresented in science are highly encouraged to apply.
'In its range of themes and reconstructions, The Age of Interconnection invites favourable comparison with that other survey of the 20th century, Eric Hobsbawm’s The Age of Extremes. Yet it is quite unlike it. Where the Marxist historian offered a sweeping narrative arc illustrating the relentless advance of capitalism, Sperber dispenses with a unifying theme altogether. It’s a sign of the times: we’ve lost faith in grand narratives, more’s the pity. His framing sheds little light on his period. As every historian knows, all ages are ages of interconnection.'

Fellow scientists of Mastodon, what's the big question that drives your research?
please boost and reply to compile a big ol' honkin' list of scientific inspiration

A growing body of evidence suggests that brain-resident CD8 T cells and IFNg drive cellular and cognitive #aging in the #brain. Our @NatImmunol commentary on recent advances from @NatureNeuro goes into the #neuroimmunology mechanisms
"The genome organizer, special AT-rich binding protein-1 (SATB1) functions to globally regulate gene networks during primary T cells development and plays a pivotal role in lineage-specification in CD4+ helper-, CD8+ cytotoxic- and FOXP3+ regulatory-T cell subsets. However, it remains unclear how Satb1 gene expression is controlled, particularly in effector T cell function."

Incredible viral evasion mechanism here to avoid cells being able to present information (antigens) to T cells: SARS-CoV-2 accessory proteins ORF7a and ORF3a use distinct mechanisms to down-regulate MHC-I surface expression

@doctorcdf I was thinking more on the lines of
"This bid for Speaker is dead"
"No it isn't. It's just resting".

Thanks, Alito.
37,659,375 more Americans have contracted #COVID, and 244,248 have died since the Supreme Court rejected the vaccine mandates. #ThanksAlito

Israel politics, science policy
the new minister of treasury decided to cancel the tax on sugary drinks (e.g. cola) and disposale (plastc) dishes which was implemented a year ago with good success. Why? becuase ultra-orthodox in the coalition demanded it - most of their voters are poor with lots of kids and they buy a lot of soft drinks & plastic dishes. they felt these taxs are "against them".
Diabetis in ultra-orthodox in Israel is highest in the population.

A reminder that @MSKEducation@twitter.com summer undergrad internship applications are due on Feb 1. Make your plans now and request letters of recommendation- give your mentors at least 3weeks to write! Hope to meet you this summer in NYC :) https://twitter.com/mskeducation/status/1589649377085095936

New preprint! "Consistency across multi-omics layers in a drug-perturbed gut microbial community" https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.03.519475v1
We've used 5 different #omics methods (16S, #metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, and metabolomics) to monitor how a synthetic community of gut #microbes changes in time after drug treatment. Species abundance estimates are quite consistent, but metaT and metaP reveal the stress response of the bacteria. So in vitro metaT might be the most versatile seq method

Suzuko Kinoshita et al. show that #Drosophila #haemocytes can recognise lymph gland #tumours and activate the innate #immune pathway in an ROS-dependent manner:

"My adviser believed in me and persuaded the department to allow me to complete a master’s degree. So I carried on with my research, resigned to my situation. But with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, things started to change. I watched as movements such as #BlackInTheIvory took hold, initiating discussions about the lack of support for first-generation, underrepresented students in academia. And I was heartened to see my program reassess its own approach."
