One of the embryo model studies I wrote about the other day is officially published in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06368-y And one that I didn't write about is also published there: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06354-4 So that's 5 embryo models, w/more to come...

Lets discover all about #biology #cellbiology #neurobiology #genetics #molecular_genetics and other biology stuff!

The Company of Biologists is excited to announce the launch of its new mastodon instance @biologists.social, on which you can now find all our journals and community sites. We look forward to sharing more news about this new community in the coming days.

'The first popular English-language science books came to India in the mid-20th century. Even today, a majority of popular science books in Indian bookstores or online marketplaces are in English and written by foreign authors. The lack of Indian stories and perspectives is stark. While bestsellers in politics, cultural fiction, entertainment, and sports dominate the Indian market and have won prestigious international awards, compelling literature on Indian science and scientists is rare. It also likely accounts for the limited penetration of any popular book on science.'

“Equity in science is not a political issue; it’s good science.” The authors caution that in order to move equity to the center of scientific research, “we must first recognize and acknowledge whom our scientific and institutional processes harm and how,” noting that acknowledging this harm “is the first step” towards positive change.'

One of the many reasons actual doctors and scientists shouldn't debate RFK Jr: because he constantly lies about everything, even simple indisputable facts.

He claims comparative studies aren't done on vaccines.

Yes, they are. Here's one showing the efficacy of the COVID vaccine, and one showing autism is *less* common in kids who received the MMR vaccine.

His whole shtick relies on repeating lies until the audience starts thinking they might be true. No use in helping him.

Where does your character's knowledge end?

This preprint from Groza et al. (Helge Ewers lab) looks really interesting. Exploring how particles (such as virions) gain entry to cells. Really neat application of synthetic tools to show that overcoming energy for membrane deformation is the key step to endocytosis.

“It’s not surprising the WSJ is disinclined to entertain the real lesson of the story: that confident idiots who think regulation is for cowards can end up getting themselves killed, and taking innocent people with them.” # https://www.currentaffairs.org/2023/06/the-perils-of-innovator-mindset/?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon
