AvL, Taste, and the Discovery of Bacteria

'For an individual academic, the key is to experiment with a platform to get a sense of whether it works for you, and try to understand where the people you want to talk to are gathering, whether they are having the conversations you want to join, and whether those are a reflection of existing networks or involve people you don’t yet know. It’s the connections that are important.'
'The incident in São Miguel do Oeste was among several that reignited fears about the growth of far-right extremism in Brazil, particularly in the country’s south. Historically home to German and Italian immigrants, southern states such as Paraná and Santa Catarina, where São Miguel is located, have long been conservative strongholds. They remain a bastion of political support for Bolsonaro.'

''Lymph nodes (LNs) are critical sites for shaping tissue-specific adaptive immunity. However, the impact of LN sharing between multiple organs on such tailoring is less understood. Here, we describe the drainage hierarchy of the pancreas, liver, and the upper small intestine (duodenum) into three murine LNs.''

'One problem with personalized medicine is the cost. As the bills for his biopsies, surgeries and radiation piled up, we started to call my father the “million-dollar man.” The real eyepopper was the erlotinib, priced at over $5,000 for a one-month supply of the tiny pills.'

'The Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection, or IHU, is a large clinical research centre in the south of France. It was founded by Prof Didier Raoult, who was also director of the centre until August 2022, when he stood down ahead of the release of findings from a government audit that found the institute conducted trials “likely to constitute offences or serious breaches of health or research regulations”.'

The #Unknome database of proteins [ranked according to how much we have learned about them] revealed that we still know next to nothing about thousands of human proteins.
ℹ️ Some are essential for survival.

'É sabido que a palavra “trabalhador” tem um peso que a muitos desagrada. Preferem dizer “colaborador”. Um colaborador é aquele que não se assume em luta pelos seus direitos e, ainda menos, em reivindicação perante a sua entidade empregadora por melhores condições de trabalho.'

"The study, published on 3 August in Science, could open the floodgates to linking the genomes of historical people to their present-day descendants — some direct, but most very distant. This approach could be especially resonant for African Americans and members of other populations around the world who trace some of their ancestry to enslaved people, say researchers."
