We are here now too. What to do next? Please follow https://mstdn.science/@CytokineSociety. The ICIS is the premier organization promoting the field of cytokine biology across many different research disciplines at a time when cytokine biology, cytokine biomarkers and cytokine therapeutics are revolutionizing modern medicine, providing novel treatments for a wide variety of diseases ranging from lethal inflammatory, autoimmune and allergic diseases, to viral infections and cancer.

Japanese folklore tells of seven lucky gods who travel in the magical ship 'Takarabune' each new year. They sail from heaven visiting humans to distribute gifts of good luck and happiness to those who have strived to live good lives.

I'm happy @pkrugman has assigned himself the Musk beat.

This is why Count Rugen was so demanding
“Yet in one key respect, Kennan’s diaries proved unrevealing. Like many people, Kennan journaled less when he was busy, and there is virtually nothing of consequence from 1946 or 1947, when he wrote the two documents on which his influence rested and when he began to reconsider fundamental assumptions about the nature of the Soviet challenge and the preferred American response. For the entirety of 1947, arguably the pivotal year of both the early Cold War and Kennan’s career, there is but a single entry: a one-page rhyme.”

After a pause due to the holiday and moving disruption, I’ve updated the list of Earth Science folks on Mastodon - anyone who has submitted their details in the past couple of weeks should now show up.
https://all-geo.org/mastodon-earthsci/
We’re up to 320+ names - I’m wondering if I need to add some organisation/filtering to make it manageable.
If you’d like to add yourself (and haven’t already) go to:
'Viruses also affect ecosystem processes, however, by lysing microbes and causing the release of nutrients (i.e., the viral shunt) and through the indirect consequences of host mortality (1, 2). Both of these research domains place viruses as the top “predator” in their food chains, but like most predators, viruses also can serve as food.'

This is a great paper. A reminder - eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus) are a partnership between some likely motile predator cell and radical new "toxin exploiting" bacteria that not only could tolerate this new harsh chemical, molecular oxygen, in earth's atmophere, but use it.

Need a good read for your holidays? Have a look at our work showing how too much sugar makes a good protein turn bad. Work with the Chiosis lab at MSKCC, G. Chiosis, M. Castelli, E. Moroni #CompChem #Glycotime #Proteins @eLife @CellChemicalBiology
"Patterns extracted from proteins in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) provide a ready “parts list,” circumventing the folding process entirely. These patterns are “fully baked.” That is, a pattern extracted from a solved structure in the PDB is fully preorganized; any physical–chemical organizing interactions have already been realized during folding. The situation is analogous to interpreting a movie by fast-forwarding to the final scene without first watching the previous two hours; we know how it ends, but we don’t know why."

Hi there, it is time for an #Introduction !
We are #Berlin #Bayesians, a group for Bayesian enthusiasts and practitioners based in Berlin. We organize talks (mostly in person, sometimes online) on all things Bayesian.
You can check out our events here: https://www.meetup.com/berlinbayesians/
If you'd like to speak at our meetup you can: present your research, give a tutorial on a Bayesian framework or summarize a paper. Feel free to write us, even if you are not based in Berlin.

Hello! An #introduction after weeks of lurking—I'm a #writer, #editor, and #author interested in #conservation, #climate, #science, #environment, #ecology, and paths to a better future. Soft spot for #frogs. Proud to be working with the whip-smart #HighCountryNews team as acting EIC. Grateful to those stewarding the growth of #mastodon.

"Anyone who visits Pages & Cépages in Paris is not only likely to leave with a bottle of wine; they might also pick up a comic book about wine to enjoy it with. Indeed, this independent wine and bookshop carries around 2,000 books dedicated exclusively to food and wine, a full tenth of which tell their stories through illustrated strips."

"E desde o século XV somam-se seis séculos em que a ilustração se senta à mesa com a ciência. Anna Escardó olha precisamente para este período, onde encontra e escolhe os capítulos que espelham esta relação íntima entre a ciência e a ilustração. As conclusões são retiradas pelo leitor, depois de mais de 300 ilustrações compiladas em Ilustração Científica: Uma História do Conhecimento Visual do Século XV até Hoje (editora Taschen), obra escrita em espanhol, inglês e italiano."
