Seems like so-called 'developing' countries are showing the way to address climate change
Would You Vote to Halt Drilling? In Ecuador, They’re Getting the Chance.
Voters decide on Sunday whether the country will ban oil operations in a section of the Amazon that’s one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
(Paywall is down).

"Even more concerning is the idea that content produced by generative AI is polluting the data sets on which future systems will be trained, threatening what some have called “model collapse”. By adding more imperfect information and deliberate disinformation to our knowledge base, generative AI systems are producing a further “enshittification” of the internet, to use Cory Doctorow’s evocative term. This means training sets will spew out more nonsense, rather than less."

"In a new study published Thursday in the journal Science, a group of paleontologists that analyzed fossil records at La Brea Tar Pits, a famous excavation site in Southern California, concluded that the disappearance of sabertooth cats, dire wolves and other large mammals in this region nearly 13,000 years ago was linked to rising temperatures and increased fire activity spurred by people."

This month's cover accompanies an article about Shared Evolutionary Paths in Social Microbiomes https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad153 #science #evolution #biology #genome #evolgen_paper
"The (re)appreciation that true insight into neural function depends reciprocally on an in-depth understanding of the underlying structure(s) has driven a surge in efforts to develop novel imaging techniques. In fact, keeping track of these approaches, which continue to emerge at a staggering pace, has become a challenge by itself."

New review article as #weekendreading!
"Another key parameter in CAR T cell infusion products is the ratio of CD4:CD8 T cell subsets. Yet, it is unclear whether CD4+ and CD8+ CAR T cells have the same propensity to induce CRS. This is particularly relevant since CD4:CD8 ratios can vary extensively in distinct infusion products."

"By targeting graduate school applicants, application assistance programs are a powerful and precise method for increasing the representation of minoritized groups in the sciences. These interventions can have a high impact on career outcomes and in remedying the discrepancies between the social and cultural expectations of students and graduate school admissions committees."
