A List of Things People Blamed on Jazz
🧵
The latest episode of the #EMBOPodcast is out.
I spoke with Steve Quake, the new head of science at CZI (taking over from @CoriBargmann) about his career, #OpenScience, cell atlases, imaging, @ReviewCommons and lots more.
You can listen to it at the link below or on any podcast app.

@colehaddon Did you catch this marvellous graphic feature at the NYT in November?

“Forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice.” — Octavia Butler

"Wellcome, Britain’s largest charity, has pledged to almost double spending on science and health to £16bn over the next 10 years, even if it has to spend down some of its endowment."

"But while some parasitic species are getting a boost from climate change, they may be the exception rather than the rule. According to a groundbreaking study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that analyzed 85 parasitic species, the majority suffered population declines over 140 years, on par with some of the most threatened wildlife species — or worse."

Mixed results for Molnupiravir, Butler et al, Lancet:
"Molnupiravir did not reduce hospitalisations or deaths in a community-based vaccinated adult population with COVID-19 who were at increased risk of an adverse outcome, either overall or in any patient subgroups. However, molnupiravir was associated with reduced time to recovery overall and for key individual symptoms, reduced health-care seeking for some primary care services, and reduced viral load."

Dorsal aorta polarization and haematopoietic stem cell emergence
In their Review, Laurent Yvernogeau, Giovanna Dainese and Thierry Jaffredo discuss dorsal aorta formation and its role in generating haematopoietic stem cells.
"As the pressures on the NHS intensify to a point that would have once seemed unthinkable, it’s clearer than ever that the preservation of this sanctified institution became too reliant on varying degrees of self-sacrifice from its staff. How much is too much to ask of people? And how late is too late to rectify this? For many nurses and doctors these tipping points have passed, as they pursue alternative career options, early retirement, or make plans to leave."

New posting! This one is a look back at #2022, with a number of selected postings highlighted.
There's a summary of the continuing fallout from my research funding (and salary) being cut, the exhaustion of doing three jobs in parallel, and the probable depression caused by the invasion of Ukraine.
In addition, I've highlighted a few of the sillier postings from last year, as well as the inspiring interviews with #autism advocate Dr. Mariana De Niz, and the Algerian Women in Science group.
Lastly, I'd like to say how lovely it's been to join Mastodon this year. I'm still feeling my way into the medium and into the community, but a huge thanks to all of you who've been boosting, favouriting, and commenting on the content - fantastic interacting with you, and I hope there's a lot more to come in 2023! 😀

Just want to highlight this fab recent posting from @helenajambor detailing her top trends and observations in the realm of #datavis over the last year.👏 (And there's a nod to the "T" error bars blooper too 😂 ).

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, C. David Allis. Aside from his groundbreaking contributions to biomedical science, David will be remembered for his warmth, humility, and relentless optimism.
"What is now becoming clear is that this resistance to vaccination is leaching out of the soil of the same partisan divides—and spreading beyond aversion to #Covid19 immunization. Party affiliation is now becoming more and more associated with hesitancy toward #immunization against such common childhood diseases such as #measles, #mumps, #rubella, #polio and #chickenpox."

Lula andou semanas a fazer um discurso de conciliação e paz. Faz governo com elementos de centro direita e centro esquerda.
É muito injusto que perante uma tentativa de golpe e violência fanática seja acusado de demonstrar assertividade

I stand with Democracy in Brazil. Any Brazilian official using Florida or any state in the US as a staging ground for a coup should be deported and handed over to Brazilian authorities.
