Many British musicians say Brexit has cost them dearly with almost half of those surveyed saying they've less work in the EU and more than a quarter saying they have seen all their work in Europe dry up.

In a report, 'Paying the Price', the Independent Society of Musicians said those who are still working in Europe have seen a significant increase in costs with fees for visas, work permits and equipment carnets introduced since Brexit.

'Using several high-throughput sequencing approaches, we show that the H/ACA complex is recruited to actively transcribed genes genome-wide, where it performs mRNA pseudouridylation. Moreover, we demonstrate that this modification reduces the rate of mRNA translation and that loss of dyskerin-mediated pseudouridylation results in global elevation of protein synthesis.'

It's 1:30 AM, I'm trying to reformat an NIH biosketch for NSF using the government's own sciencv website, hitting uninformative error messages every time I click a checkbox to add or remove a paper, and wondering if maybe there isn't a greater role for ChatGPT than I've ever acknowledged.

This is correct.

Cleaner air = cleaner lungs.

The row should be about the level of subsidy the government is providing (currently none) to support drivers of polluting vehicles. These shouldn't be penalised, but rather subsidised to upgrade their vehicles at no personal expense.
