Ha! @megalithic just followed me and made my day because I discovered the website https://megalithic.co.uk , an index of megalithic sites. Definitely going to check some out here in Switzerland.

No 10 says #NHS is getting ‘funding it needs’ and refuses to accept service is ‘in crisis’ – UK politics live

On patient reported outcomes in adoptive cell therapy.
"Interestingly, only 6.8 % of the recently published CAR-T trials investigated PROs as a primary or secondary outcome measure,6 and none of the TIL-ACT clinical trials in solid tumors included PROs as corollary endpoints. Indeed, much of academia’s and industry’s efforts to date have been aimed at shifting the cost-effectiveness balance of these therapies by understanding biological features of efficacy (cancer target identification, T-cell product characteristics, biomarkers of response, etc), improving the manufacturing pipeline, and scalability. Surprisingly, limited efforts have been directed to understand patients’ perspectives during cell-therapy trials."

...in which I discuss the value of exceptional purely descriptive studies without "mechanism", and what it takes for them to get visibly published nevertheless

Thank you to EMBO & Thiago (@cyrilpedia) for the honor of commenting on the seminal discovery of ALT by two of my favorite scientists from downunder. Congratulations Roger Reddel and Tracy Bryan. You continue to inspire me!

A paper that I was not aware of in @embojournal that scientific editor @HVodermaier mentioned in the #telomerase independent immortalisation discussion on the latest #EMBOPodcast episode is the finding from Lackner, Karlseder et al in #EMBOJournal 2012 of a very interesting ALT system in #Celegans

Sounds like something worth planning a trip around:
'The visual arts are looking especially strong. There’s already a huge buzz around the Rijksmuseum’s Vermeer exhibition, opening in Amsterdam in February. For once, all those worn-out old terms — “once in a lifetime”, “biggest ever”, “unique”, etc — really do apply, as the Dutch museum says it will assemble from around the world “most of” the 35 known paintings by the 17th-century master. An astonishing feat of international collaboration and organisation, it should be an equally astonishing exhibition.'

#introduction and my first toot.
I'm scientist working hard to reveal the secrets of #Arctic ecosystems.
I do love mountains, #tundra, #snow and arctic-alpine plants. So my contribution here would likely to be mostly about the #science on these topics and overall #nature positive good vibes. Probably some #rstats as well.
I'm a #fieldwork addict so expect many nice photos.
Got frustrated with the current #Twitter and now learning here. Looks good so far!
