"The current pandemic began in 1961 with the global spread of the El Tor O1 variant. El Tor (or Al-Tur) is a city on the Sinai peninsula where the variant was isolated in 1905; it had once been the site of an Ottoman quarantine station for pilgrims returning from the Hajj. Today, the variant is estimated to infect 1.3 million to 4.0 million people each year, causing 21,000 to 140,000 deaths."

'Part of what makes Twitter’s potential collapse uniquely challenging is that the “digital public square” has been built on the servers of a private company, says O’Connor’s colleague Elise Thomas, senior OSINT analyst with the ISD. It’s a problem we’ll have to deal with many times over the coming decades, she says: “This is perhaps the first really big test of that.”
'A paper published last month in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution argues that the appetite of the Steller’s sea cow played a major role in shaping coastal ecosystems in northern Pacific waters, particularly the kelp forests that have been devastated in recent years by factors linked to climate change. The paper claims that the sea cow would have made kelp forests more resilient to these changes, and that conservationists may be able to use this knowledge to better protect such ecosystems in the future.'

"Preprints are a democratising force in science – you have the same opportunity to share your science regardless of whether you're at a small university in a developing country or at a high-profile institute in the USA. Preprints really open up and speed up the dissemination and sharing of research; they are not a one-stop solution to all the problems with science publishing, but are certainly a critical piece."

Glad and relieved to share on mastodon my first co-first work from one of my PhD projects with Eric Miska & Azim Surani. ☺️ Hope it’s a useful one: we team with Giorgia Battsitoni and Greg Hannon to investigate a prior observation of piRNAs in mPGCs in vitro.
Alas, we do not detect piRNAs in Day 6 mPGCLCs. https://www.cell.com/developmental-cell/fulltext/S1534-5807(22)00783-3

My latest column for #NatureMedicine is a look at early human results of a new class of #antibiotics for #tuberculosis
The mechanism of action is essentially to clog the #mycobacterium's tRNA synthetase - the result of two decades of research on boron-based compounds.
