"I tried to relieve my guilt by reminding myself to be grateful for modern medicine – at least he wasn’t removed with a crochet hook – but forceps aren’t modern. Nor do they feel modern. They feel like what they are: a product of 18th-century male practitioners’ devotion to metallic reason and elegance in all things. I had spent years in the archives trying to gain some intimacy with the past, and suddenly there I was, being penetrated by the Enlightenment."

Twitter owner Elon Musk just blamed the ADL, a Jewish advocacy organization, for the explosion of antisemitism on his platform.
Blaming Jewish people or groups for the hatred of Jewish people is the same perverted logic found in Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
Musk is the world's richest person and his companies are paid billions by the US government.
He posted the message in conversation with Keith Woods, an Irish neo-Nazi whose account Musk reinstated in April a few months after buying Twitter.

Metastatic cells affect neuronal circuits. See👇🏼electron microscopy images at the interface with the tumor. Green is from a #breastcancer line, red is #melanoma, blue is #lungcancer. Note cancer cells located close to synapses (arrowheads), suggesting crosstalk.

A review on a cool idea. By looking at the phylogenies of viruses that infect mosquitoes (and only the insects, not arboviruses infecting other hosts), you should be able to infer facts about the size, structure, and dynamics of those vector populations.
'Historians have, in fact, long known about Einstein’s debt to Hume, and indeed about that letter. They’ve known, too, about the influence on Einstein of many other philosophers, from Ernst Mach to Arthur Schopenhauer.'

Happy #EMmonday! This week we are highlighting research from Riley Cooney, Eszter Vladar and colleagues. They find that DKK3 and WNT4 work together to enable a switch from canonical to non-canonical Wnt signalling during multiciliogenesis.
'The social media company formerly known as Twitter has been accused in a revised civil US lawsuit of helping Saudi Arabia commit grave human rights abuses against its users, including by disclosing confidential user data at the request of Saudi authorities at a much higher rate than it has for the US, UK, or Canada.'

'Despite English being the lingua franca of science, getting an excellent level of English is a privilege of few, restricted to high-income countries or those who can pay for intense language training in Global South countries. Yet, most of the hiring calls from Global North research institutes urging inclusion conflate being a good scientist with being good (or excellent) at English. This isn’t true'

'The UK National Health Service was an early funder of Cochrane and its UK-based groups. Later, the NIHR provided support, mainly paying for support staff to help produce reviews.
So when the NIHR confirmed in August 2021 that it would stop funding all the UK-based review groups, the news came as a shock'
'In the study, three participants received autologous OTQ923 after myeloablative conditioning and were followed for 6 to 18 months. At the end of the follow-up period, all the participants had engraftment and stable induction of fetal hemoglobin'

I just learned about the COOLEST program! It's called "Letters to a Pre-Scientist" and if you sign up, you volunteer to be a pen pal to a kid and help them get excited for a career in a #STEM field! It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for #ScienceMastodon to do some good in the world. The program is open to anyone in STEM over 18, all around the world. Please share this post, they need more volunteers!
