"The woman’s case wasn’t a one-off. Just about every time an embryo implants and begins to grow, it dispatches bits of itself into the body housing it. The depositions begin at least as early as four or five weeks into gestation. And they settle into just about every sliver of our anatomy where scientists have checked—the heart, the lungs, the breast, the colon, the kidney, the liver, the brain."

'The story of how hydroxychloroquine was anointed the Trump administration’s miracle drug for the coronavirus pandemic is a distinctly modern tale of misinformation within a global information ecosystem beset by widespread uncertainty, fear, media fragmentation and hyper-partisanship. Belief in the drug’s potential to cure patients infected with the virus followed an extraordinary trajectory from a small study conducted in France (Trump’s “very good test”) to Silicon Valley social media influencers, Fox News and the largest bully pulpit: the White House'

"Near the end of the “Manet/Degas” exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, there is a small drawing by Edgar Degas of a bearish man with a beard. At first glance, you might think the man in the drawing is Edouard Manet, but in fact he’s an author and critic named Edmond Duranty. Nine years before this drawing was created, Duranty had written something critical of Manet, in response to which Manet, encountering Duranty in a cafe, slapped him. Duranty demanded that Manet apologize. Manet refused. Durante challenged Manet to a duel. The duel, by sword, took place three days later. Manet was unscathed; I guess you could say he won. Duranty, the man in the Degas drawing, “received a wound in his upper chest,” as the museum text accompanying the drawing states matter-of-factly. I stared incredulously at the text’s last line: “Surprisingly, the two men remained friends after the incident.”'

"The Journal’s historical commentaries about Indigenous Americans reveal more about authors’ and editors’ values and priorities than about Indigenous communities themselves. Such racist discourse reflected, perpetuated, and legitimated settler-colonists’ faith in the righteousness of their mission. It’s essential that readers understand these dynamics if they are to recognize and repudiate similar processes at work today."

'El biólogo argumenta que el Atlas Celular de la Biodiversidad desvelaría multitud de secretos de la naturaleza. “Tenemos que estar preparados para toparnos con hallazgos inesperados. Nuestro estudio de placozoos no lo hicimos para entender la evolución de las neuronas y el sistema nervioso. Esa motivación naturalista es lo que más me gusta. Somos exploradores”, sostiene.'

'Na forma, ao apontar deficiências no processo de privatização – quando, por exemplo, refere que a avaliação prévia da empresa deveria ter sido feita antes. No conteúdo, ao deixar preto no branco para memória futura duas conclusões bastante duras: a privatização “não salvaguardou o interesse público” e, além disso, traduziu-se na “concessão de um monopólio fechado por 50 anos num sector estratégico para a economia”.

'Para mí escribir es eso, una forma de provocar un incendio sin cometer un delito. A los nueve años escribí mi primera poesía para no morir. La escritura es algo muy visceral, me estructura. Ahora he estado un tiempo sin escribir reportajes, solo editoriales, columnas, y pasó algo gracioso. Dejé de llorar.'

"Traditionalists may ask, “… is Microbiome Sciences just Microbiology, Ecology, or Genomics?” The answer is no. It does not simply fit into any one of those boxes, but rather it is the nexus of those and several other fields, thereby making it a unique synthesis—an intricate composite of field, wet lab, theoretical, and computational work aimed at decoding microbial interactions with hosts and with each other"

"[F]or me this is unprecedented because of, one, the magnitude, the scale, the entire population of a particular place; second, the severity; and, third, the speed at which this is happening, at which this has unfolded, is unprecedented. In my life, I’ve never seen anything like this in terms of severity, in terms of scale, and then in terms of speed."
