Hi @Quartzy - is it true that from July onwards you will be charging also academic labs for using your basic order tracking system ($79/5 users)? Do I remember your #freeforever pledge correctly? Thanks for clarifying. #AcademicChatter

OK sounds like #EvolgenPaper is good hashtag for adding to toots and threads on Evolutionary and Population Genetics papers

We could use #EvolutionPaper for papers more generally associated with Evolutionary Biology.

Please RT this and consider using these for tooting about papers, your own of those of others. That way we'll be able to keep track of them all more.

How does neural activity relate to #perception?

Perceptography combines clever machine learning with #optogenetics to generate the pictures that are likely to be experienced during neural stimulation. Fascinating #preprint by Elia Shahbazi &
Afraz Arash!

As the U.S. pushed #Native Americans from their lands for westward expansion, museums and the federal government encouraged the looting of #Indigenous remains, funerary objects and cultural items. 30 years since passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, @ProPublica investigates the #failure of federally funded universities and museums to expeditiously return human remains.

The January issue is live:

https://embopress.org/toc/14693178/2023/24/1…

The cover features work by Max Grönloh and Jaap D Buul and co-workers showing that endothelial transmigration hotspots limit vascular leakage through heterogeneous expression of ICAM-1.

Excellent! I'll have to update my references now 😂...

One of my favourite @biorxivpreprint papers of 2022 is now in @Nature

Haaaave you met the mole rats?

They may not be the cutest (euphemism!), but these burrowing little critters have interesting adaptations to living underground. For example, they make do with very little oxygen, resist hypoxia and cancer, and their metabolism is different.

There’s a long history of anti-vaxxers comparing vaccination to the torture & mass murder of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust

I never thought I’d see the day when a British Member of Parliament would use this grotesque analogy, but here we are—he has been suspended (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-64236687)

The WHO's Technical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution just published their rapid risk assessment of the #variant #XBB15:

"Based on its genetic characteristics and early growth rate estimates, XBB.1.5 may contribute to increases in case incidence globally. To date, the overall confidence in the assessment is low as growth advantage estimates are only from one country, the United States of America."
