'But if healthy people who like to take risks are not in the pool, insurance becomes prohibitively expensive and insurance companies expend huge effort on excluding those most likely to need it. That way lies the US disaster — the world’s most expensive and least effective health system.'

'Still, the threat of political violence remains real; in December, police stopped a bomb plot against Lula. People close to him are particularly concerned about the military, and perplexed by its reluctance to quell the violence on January 8th.'

'We show how uncertainty in measurements of natural selection, or low predictability of external environmental factors affecting selection, can greatly reduce predictive power, often swamping the influence of intrinsic randomness caused by genetic drift.'

What are your favorite examples of genes that are preserved across different species (say worms/flies to mice to humans) that do interesting brain-related things?
The gene whose mutation leads to Huntington's disease (Huntingtin) is one example. Others?

Our latest! A 🧵 . Led by Nathan Harris & Sam Bates we ask: How does #experience modify neuronal #gene expression to drive #plasticity?
We find that multiple #stimulus features can be encoded in the gene expression program of a single #sensory neuron and we show how this underlies specific neuronal & behavioral plasticity.
Of course, this Q has been addressed by many others in landmark papers by the Greenberg lab, @Datta_Lab, Jesse Gray & many others. 1/n

Come join us! We still have capacity for quite a bit more people.
"During 2020, they enrolled and compared people who had recovered from mild COVID-19 with age- and sex-matched control participants who had never had the disease. They were surprised to find that male recoverees had better responses to vaccination against influenza than those of female recoverees (and also had better responses than those of males who never had COVID-19)."
'About 80% of China’s population has been infected with Covid-19 since restrictions were lifted in early December, Chinese health authorities have said.
The figure, which equates to about 1.2 billion people, prompted some pandemic experts to estimate that more than 1 million may have died – far more than the government’s official tally of about 72,000.'

James W. Truman and Lynn M. Riddiford just published a magnum opus on:
"#Drosophila postembryonic nervous system development: a model for the endocrine control of development" https://academic.oup.com/genetics/advance-article/doi/10.1093/genetics/iyac184/6988052
Touches upon insect insulin-like peptides, hormonal control of neuronal growth, metamorphic fates of larval neurons, pruning and its induction by ecdysteroids, remodelling, postembryonic neurogenesis and neuronal fate determination, CNS plasticity in cell composition, apoptosis.
Spectacular!
