"No one excels at a new experiment on their first try. When I was first taught how to extract plasmid DNA from bacteria, arguably one of the simplest protocols in my field, I think I messed up every possible step — there are ten — at least once."

"But this upbeat narrative of scientific discovery is missing an important piece: Mojsov herself. She, too, was at MGH in the 1980s and published early key papers on GLP-1. She later fought, successfully, to be added to crucial patents that initially omitted her as a co-inventor."
"Here, we identify a stem cell-like CD7+ monocyte subpopulation accumulating in the bone marrow (BM) of mice and humans that experienced dieting-induced weight loss. Adoptive transfer of CD7+ monocytes suppresses weight regain, whereas inducible depletion of CD7+ monocytes accelerates it."

'Têm uma intolerância visceral a qualquer restrição ao direito de propriedade e ao direito a fazer negócios – mesmo que estejamos a falar de cidadãos estrangeiros com condições socioeconómicas esmagadoras em comparação a quem vive dos rendimentos do seu trabalho em Portugal. O direito de propriedade e a liberdade económica não são como o direito à vida. Podem, e devem se for preciso, conhecer restrições.'
