The most recent approved gene therapy, as @STAT reports, will cost $3.5m per patient.
Editas just abandoned a gene editing program because it has <300 patients in the US.
= the challenge of affordability and health justice for CRISPR cures has never been this urgent.

My #introduction

I’m a clinician scientist and ICU consultant based in Cambridge, UK. I study the immune effects of critical illness, particularly why neutrophils fail and how this leads to nosocomial infections. Through this I’ve collided with a number of research areas, including diagnostics for pneumonia, transcriptional responses to pathogens and air scrubbing- collecting eclectic interests along the way.
Active in ESICM, currently chairing the INF section.

"The mere existence of such a cell should be one of the great astonishments of the earth."

"People ought to be walking around all day, all through their waking hours calling to each other in endless wonderment, talking of nothing except that cell.”

by Lewis Thomas, from "The Medusa and the Snail"

#Introduction I am Scientist #HHU, social Media Liaison @APSbacteriology & AAAS Women in STEM community Ambassador. I love sensors, microbes, plant-pathogens among others.

*PRO NERD TIP*

Today I learned about "The Wikipedia Library Card". If you've been a WP editor for >6 months, have made >500 edits, at least 10 edits in the last month, and are not blocked for being a cretin, you can access a *ton* of paywalled content for free.

ScienceDirect, AAAS, The BMJ, both APAs, EBSCO, Springer, Nature, Wiley, and many more.

All those hours in 2005 spent editing sci-fi book articles finally paying off!

#introduction
I’m a conservation biologist focusing on #cetaceans. I'm presently using molecular, ecological, and demographic approaches to understand the interconnectedness of bottlenose dolphins in the Iberian Peninsula region; with a particular interest in the declining resident population of Sado estuary, 🇵🇹 !!

Before, I studied cetaceans (mostly humpback whales) in 🇸🇹 (west Africa).

Other interests around here: #popgen,#POPs, #marineconservation; #MPAs; #SciComm

Two questions:

1) Does anyone have a reccomendation for a Drosophila anti-SuVar39 antibody?

2) I see this kind of questions becoming more prominent within our community so it may be a good idea to decide on hashtags to be used in the future. I can't think of anything genius right now so I'll go with silly #flyreagents or #flyrequest but feel free to propose something better!

Hello Mastodon.

I am looking for new PhD students to come work with me at the Oxford Internet Institute in 22/23 (@oiioxford) to study the future of data privacy and digital rights, the impact of AI and algorithms on digital platforms, and help co-create better digital futures.

Boosts very much appreciated! 🐘

In this #Review Natalie Bamford et al look at the impacts, but also the opportunities of biofilms #Engineer #BiofilmWeek #npjBiofilms @ukbiofilms

Super proud of my brother Yoav, check out his beautiful paper and spread the word! 💥🥳🎓 Does exercise change coding in the brain?

"Viktor Orbán, has worn a football scarf showing Hungary’s pre-world war one borders, which included parts of Ukraine and Romania among others. " - I am sure he meant nothing by it, colonialism must be the last thing on his mind 😒

Ongoing rumination: how easy is it for evolution to uncouple gametogenesis from meiosis I…. Pretty easily, I would imagine… check out how common parthenogenesis is…. therefore can we potentially generate a parthenogenic drosophila?

Hi #ScienceMastodon, time for an #introduction!

I'm an #EvoDevo biologist interested in how tissue #mechanics influences the #evolution of #morphogenesis. I study a deep and mysterious epithelial invagination that forms at the head-trunk boundary of #flies during #gastrulation, known as the #CephalicFurrow (see video below!). Currently, based in Germany as a postdoc in the Tomancak Lab at MPI-CBG. Looking forward to meeting you!
