'Rather, the work bears the name of Keyserling’s resident harpsichordist, the 14-year-old Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, whose equally sleepless nights were spent playing the variations for his master from an adjoining room.'

'In a peer-reviewed study published in Nature on Tuesday, researchers from Edinburgh university, Imperial College London and the Pirbright Institute used gene editing techniques to alter the section of chicken DNA responsible for producing ANP32A, a protein that the flu virus takes over to replicate itself.'

"This war, like others before it, will end sooner or later. I am not sure I will come back from it alive, but I do know that a minute after the war is over, both Israelis and Palestinians will have to reckon with the leaders who led them to this moment."

"The first referee systems that we would recognize as such were set in place by English scientific societies in the early nineteenth century. But these referees were never intended to play the part of supreme scientific gatekeepers. That notion emerged in around 1900 (see 'Past notes'). It was exactly then that some began to wonder whether referee systems might be fundamentally flawed. In this sense, peer review has always been broken."

"In fact, if you ask me, the Nobel announcement sold Goldin a bit short by failing to note her hugely important contributions beyond the issue of women’s work. In particular, it didn’t mention her work on inequality more broadly, notably her role in documenting the sudden and drastic decline in inequality that took place in the 1940s, creating the middle-class society I grew up in (which has now been destroyed)."

"Pregnancy confers partner-specific protection against complications in future pregnancy that parallel persistence of fetal microchimeric cells (FMcs) in mothers after parturition. We show that preexisting FMcs become displaced by new FMcs during pregnancy and that FMc tonic stimulation is essential for expansion of protective fetal-specific forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)–positive regulatory T cells (Tregcells)."
