On the Tejo with Madalena, back when it wasn't raining every *%$#ing day
Such a cool idea, a CART cell gel to clean surgical borders (work done in mouse models).
"To develop a therapy for incompletely resected adenocarcinoma, we have established tumor models by incomplete surgical excision of subcutaneous tumors and the intraoperative application of mesothelin-specific CAR T cells in a fibrin glue–based carrier (fibrin gel) on the residual tumor and wound surface without the need for intratumoral injection."

That's art from 1670. You see a trompe-l'œil painting by Cornelius Norbertus Gysbrechts with the title "The Reverse of a Framed Painting". Enjoy, #histodons. #history

Have you tried Yōko Ogawa's novel The Memory Police? If I had to pick an idea from the book, it would be the subjective experience of individual memory as a social construct - which would not be terribly new (if very well written nonetheless).
But then it takes a turn into something much more interesting, but I could not even hint at it without spoiling the final third of the book

I've been thinking about how we might encourage more new Big Ideas in science (especially brain research).
There's a lot to unpack there, but one thing that works for some scientists: reading speculative fiction / #scifi. Science excels at its rigor but it can also stifle creativity. Speculative fiction is one way to open that gate back up again.
Here are a few of my favorite #specfic stories about the mind and brain and the big ideas that they are written around.
Ted Chiang, The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling”. Big idea: our personal (and cultural) identities rely on the fallibility of memory.
@gregeganSF, "Axiomatic". Big Idea: we should be wary of perturbing brains to relieve angst.
Ken Liu, "The Cleaners", Big idea: Our attachment to memory defines us.
Jennifer Egan, "The Candy House". Big idea: Sharing our memories has both beneficial and negative consequences.
What are your favorite #specfic stories and what Big Ideas are they attached to?

22 January 1945 | During the evacuation march of prisoners from Auschwitz III-Monowitz, near Gliwice, SS guards shot Victor Perez, a Tunisian Jewish boxer, the World Flyweight Champion in 1931 & 1932. He was deported to Auschwitz in October 1943.

This article (and the photo) should put the fear of God into you. Between threatening voters, banning books and Black studies in schools and a plan to run for President, it’s clear that the fascism and racism of Ron DeSantis is a bald face attempt to get his hateful base riled up. https://t.co/3A9f2uFxun
"One beer too many, and a verbal dispute suddenly and unexpectedly explodes into a punching match.
Such things happen every night in bars, pubs, and cafés all across the world, but the bloody noses and aching jaws that generally follow from these dustups in Canada, Norway, or France often turn out to be gunshot wounds in the United States."

How are ribosomes stored in the egg? Thanks to a fantastic team effort lead by @FriedaLeesch & @llorenzoorts in collab with @haselbachlab & colleagues from the @IMPvienna @viennabiocenter, we discovered a new dormant state of ribosomes in fish & frog eggs.
