'As part of the Innovation and Enterprise course we run, we were self-conscious early adopters of AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL.E2 for authentic assessments. In particular, we wanted to explore new uses and applications of this technology, focusing on the design thinking process to find problems and solutions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Here, we show how this technology can benefit (1) experiential learning, student engagement, and collaboration; (2) design research and transfer of knowledge skills; (3) creative/critical thinking and reflection skills; and (4) writing and presentation tone and style skills.'
'A spokesperson for the Bonn-based German Rectors’ Conference, an association of 269 universities in Germany, told Nature that there was no recording of personal characteristics that could identify minority ethnic groups for “understandable” and “historical” reasons, and because of data protection.'

'He believed that books should be read, and that close reading could and should leave material traces. In an ironic piece on book-borrowers, he praised his friend ‘S.T.C.’ (Coleridge), who had returned Elia’s books ‘with usury; enriched with annotations, tripling their value’, though written ‘in no very clerkly hand’.

Can’t really describe the feeling of getting my first paper published, a mix of grateful, ecstatic & hopeful! For those interested in how bacteria rescue each other via conjugative AMR plasmids & how evolution affects these rescue networks, have a look: https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/msphere.00107-23
'For all its hype, semaglutide is the stepping stone and not the final destination of a new class of obesity drugs. Just how good they get, and how quickly, will go a long way in determining whether this pharmaceutical revolution actually meets its full promise.'

The oldest topographical map in history, the Turin Papyrus Map. This document dates to 1150 BCE. It was made to guide Ramses IV's workers when they acquired stone for statues of the pharaoh. It shows the route of a valley, the surrounding hills, and the locations of existing mines.

NG2 glia defend the brain against prions! They talk to microglia, calm them down, and convince them to stop secreting neurotoxic prostaglandins. Congratulations to Yingjun Liu for discovering this unexpected mechanism! https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.04.04.535590v1

Timely and thought-provoking. Biased regional proclivities are more rampant in academia, especially at the medical university setting, than in the local culture, in my experience. But u only know from my city

Why is there so little data on racial and ethnic diversity in German academia? My feature for @nature tries to give and answers and portrays people advocating for better data. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-02…

'When I emailed Twitter’s press email asking for comment about its supposed push for transparency, I received an auto-reply containing a single poop emoji—part of the CEO’s new approach to media inquiries.'
"I’m glad to see this paper - it’s a look from Pfizer about how they were able to scale up #nirmatrelvir (the antiviral component of the #Paxlovid combination) so quickly. The authors are surely correct when they say that this 17-month timeline is a record for the drug industry, and it’s very much worth seeing how this all happened."

"Whether perturbations of any of these endosome-related processes can give rise to TLR7 gain-of-function and facilitate self-reactivity has not been investigated. Here, we show that a dysregulated endosomal compartment leads to unrestricted TLR7 signaling and human lupus."

"Clarifying how the pandemic genome first came to the world’s attention is important not just for the sake of record-keeping: if science forgets how fraught and politically messy data-sharing became, it may not learn lessons from that process."

Anyone know of a good place where I can send samples for thin section TEM? I have cells and I want to visualize viruses inside. I would need both sample prep and imaging.
