Abandoned medical school 🇵🇹
Once a hub of scientific advancement, cutting-edge research was carried out here. That was many years ago. Now it is merely another neglected shutter building, one of many that line the streets of Portugal.

'Like other institutions, the Museum of Mankind has faced growing repatriation requests — from countries including Madagascar and Argentina, and from Indigenous people in Hawaii. But unlike many counterparts in Europe and the United States, the museum has not invested significantly in provenance research for its human remains collection, nor published guidelines for their handling and return.'
'A growing recognition that criminalization and incarceration do little to curb illegal drug use or improve public health or safety has led to harm-reduction policies such as Good Samaritan laws—statutes that provide limited immunity for low-level drug violations and increase availability of naloxone, a drug that can reverse overdose. But racial disparities have emerged in the application and effectiveness of both measures. A study from RTI International found that Black and Latino intravenous drug users have inequitable access to the medication.'

We're up next for #globalimmuno talk this Wednesday, November 30th at 9am PST, noon EST, 5pm GMT. It says #Tcells but there will be some #Bcells and #NKcells too!
Title: "CD4 T cells Sans Frontières"

The Hancock Lab's #introduction: Our lab researches #microbiology and #immunology topics from a #systemsbiology approach. Infectious disease has a massive global burden, estimated to kill over 13 million people annually, placing it as the 2nd leading cause of death. Our projects include targeting #biofilms with novel antimicrobial #peptides, understanding the mechanisms behind adaptive #antimicrobialresistance, and developing better diagnostics and treatments for #sepsis and #covid.
'During the last decade, the stimulation of T-cell function by the blockage of immunosuppressive checkpoints has experienced an outstanding impact in the treatment of cancer. Development of the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell technology has also emerged as a powerful alternative for patients suffering from oncological processes, especially those affected by hematological neoplasms. Recent evidence suggest that the use of immunotherapy could be extended to non-oncological diseases and could be especially relevant for age-associated disorders, opening exciting therapeutic options for a wide range of diseases of the elderly.'

'A confidential memo said that the collection included the bones of Mamadou Lamine, a 19th-century West African Muslim leader who led a rebellion against French colonial troops; a family of Canadian Inuits exhibited in a Paris human zoo in 1881; and even five victims of the Armenian genocide in the mid-1910s.
“Sometimes, the supervisors would say, ‘We must hide,’” said Philippe Mennecier, a retired linguist and curator who worked for four decades at the Museum of Mankind. “The museum is afraid of scandal.”

Hi Mastodon! I'm a journalist at @sciencemagazine, where I delve into stories about the scientific community and the various challenges that come with pursuing a career in science. I'm a former scientist myself—I earned a Ph.D. in ecology and did a stint as a postdoc before realizing that the best career path for me lay elsewhere. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to introduce yourself or suggest a story idea. #ScienceMastodon #academicchatter

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.
Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve diversity in STEM.

'There is no doubting the centrality today of Mendel’s ideas in evolutionary biology. The current theory’s foundation, the modern synthesis, depends arguably as much on Mendel as it does on Darwin. The 200th anniversary of Mendel’s birth is thus an appropriate moment for both reevaluating and celebrating his legacy in evolutionary biology.'

Job: Theoretical eco-evo postdoc in Mainz (Germany)
I realize I posted this one back then on a site that wasn't owned by Musk yet; never here so far. Also, the deadline is conveniently a week away (4th Dec to be precise) so a reminder is in place anyway!
My lab is moving to the University of #Mainz. If you're into #LifeHistory #theory/#modelling and would like to interact with whoever visits the future "theory hub" of the #Kokkonuts, read this ad!

In Science Signaling, Ye, Olsen, Wandall, and colleagues used a 3D human organotypic skin model to investigate signaling by the protein TGF-beta. Although TGF-beta initially suppresses tumor growth, at later stages, it promotes metastasis. With this approach, the researchers identified a TGF-beta signaling pathway that promoted invasive growth. This same setup can be used by others to study TGF-beta signaling under normal and pathological conditions: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scisignal.abo2206 #science #cancer

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find, but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it to help them get to your new one. 😁👍
I'd love if you could share it among your networks to help those that will invariably need it later on.
