'He had been a graduate student at the time, preparing the obligatory freshman survey course in the history of science, and trying to understand how anyone ever accepted Aristotelian physics. Kuhn vividly recalls gazing out of his window for some time before suddenly grasping that Aristotle had meant something very different by “motion” from his Newtonian successors.'

Pets and AMR

"To date, most veterinary antimicrobial stewardship efforts have focused on food animal medicine, rather than companion animal medicine, since the largest volume of antimicrobials is used in animal agriculture. Importantly, however, studies increasingly recognize that resistant bacteria can be transmitted between companion animals, such as dogs and cats, and their human owners, and that pets can act as a reservoir for multidrug-resistant organisms that affect human health"

'My father had been born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in April 1910. Few could have then foreseen the catastrophes to befall Europe over the next 35 years. This history is not irrelevant. It must serve as a warning. It has made me aware throughout my life that political mistakes can combine with economic disasters to unleash destruction upon societies believed civilised.'

'Because The Communist Manifesto has been so traduced and so feared, many people who haven’t yet read it think Marx’s polemic was either an instruction manual for overthrowing the government (Step 1, raid the police stations. Step 2, seize the post office, etc.) or wistful schematics for a society free of want and poverty.'

'We combine longitudinal repertoire sequencing data, stochastic evolutionary modeling, and tailored inference techniques to determine the characteristic time scales of T cell repertoire evolution. These timescales are in quantitative agreement with long tails observed in the distribution of clone sizes. We show that repertoire turnover slows down with age and is maximal in the largest clones of young individuals.'

'From this situation, one must act, and transcend those boundaries. This ‘living process’ (‘lebendige Prozeß’) involves casting off the worldview that you have come to the limits of, and creating another. Much like a hermit crab, a worldview is a shell that we enclose and encase ourselves within. That shell then insulates us from experiences that challenge our worldview. The task of psychology is to engage with this tendency in human nature, and bring the subject out of these shells (‘Gehäuse’).'

"In this study, we characterize the absorption of peptidoglycan across the gut epithelial barrier and its systemic dissemination in the steady-state. In a mouse model, we show that translocation across the intestinal barrier favors the accumulation of peptidoglycan in specific host organs, most notably the brain."
