'In this article, we review IAV strains circulating in the North American swine population, as well as porcine innate and acquired immune responses to IAV, including recent advances achieved through immunological tools developed specifically for swine.'

'Both genomes had been analysed before, but the fragmented assemblies had scaffold sizes comparable to the length of long reads prior to assembly. Our new assemblies illustrate how long-read technologies allow for a much better representation of species genomes. We are now able to conduct more accurate downstream assays based on more complete gene and transposable element predictions.'

"The first burst of buds appear 15 days earlier than they did in the early 1970s, according to a recent analysis. Ripening starts 18 days earlier. And harvesting begins in late August instead of mid September. Change was expected, but the accelerating pace has come as a shock."

"Collectively, our findings demonstrate that cortical function and energy usage in female mice are more resilient to food restriction than in males. The neocortex, therefore, contributes to sex-specific, energy-saving adaptations in response to metabolic challenge."

“White folks would rather lose the war than give up the luxury of race prejudice,” Roy Wilkins of the NAACP argued in 1942. The navy, he said, “would rather not have a vital radio message get through than to have it sent by Black hands or over equipment set up by Black technicians.”

October 8, 1872, birthday of British field geologist/paleontologist Gertrude Lilian Elles. In 1919 she won the Murchison Medal for her work on graptolites stratigraphy & became one of the first female Fellows of the Geological Society 🪨🔨
Many of her specimens, as well as a couple of her hammers, are hosted today in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge.

"What caricature is in painting, burlesque is in writing; and in the same manner the comic writer and painter correlate to each other; as in the former, the painter seems to have the advantage, so it is in the latter infinitely on the side of the writer. "
The Works of Henry Fielding
English writer and dramatist Henry Fielding died #OTD in 1754. He is known for his rich earthy humor and satirical prowess and as the author of the novel Tom Jones.
I agree, Metz - but I think we're going to need a bigger sticker.
'By the programme’s end in 1942, more than 7,500 unique, and often beautiful, images had been produced. In his short film, the Toronto-based filmmaker Sebastian Ko provides lively flipbook tour through the USDA ‘Pomological Watercolor Collection’ to explore its history and legacy.'

Neo-Nazis? The Conservative Party is disintegrating

'His enthusiasm rubbed off on many of his visitors, who carried the latest news of Vesuvian experiments with them across the Continent and to America. His investigations culminated in a book describing the ‘fields of fire’ or Campi Phlegraei, as he titled his ‘observations of the volcanos of the two Sicilies’. He spent more than £1300 producing the edition, adding a supplement to cover the eruption of 1779. It was one of the most lavish and expensive publications of the 18th century, marking both a high point and a dead end in Enlightenment vulcanology.'
