30 years after Nancy Hopkins’ finding of lab space inequity at MIT, this Oceanographic institute finds the same. Times need to be changing faster ☹️

Could every institution please do an analysis proactively?

computational pipeline identifies more than 10000 viroid-like covalently closed circular RNAs from metatranscriptomics. The collection contains putative viroids, satellite RNAs, retrozymes, and ribozy-like viruses and what’s viroid-like cccRNAs ? interesting read

'New York’s legislature passed its first abortion statute in 1828, creating a crime out of what had until then been a practice loosely regulated under common law. By my mother’s time, the terrible effects of this nineteenth-century innovation were clear. According to a 1965 report by the New York City Department of Health, maternal mortality in the city rose—from 60 deaths out of every 100,000 live births in 1954 to 73 in 1962—even as medical technology advanced and childbirth became safer overall.'

Peacock says perhaps it’s time to just end mink farming. “That this is happening in Europe in this day and age, and after COVID-19, is doing my head in,” he says. “It’s a bit of an existential threat.”

'To focus zoonotic risk assessment on those viruses with true epidemic potential, we contend that the process of virus emergence—that is, when a zoonotic virus establishes sustained transmission in humans—is better understood from an ecological perspective.'

'The dangers information pollution pose for democracy have long been acknowledged by civil society actors and regulators, but the storming of Brazil’s presidential palace earlier this month serves as a sobering reminder of just how real these dangers have become.'

Interesting approach using machine learning in a large cohort to try and subtype #LongCovid patients by their symptoms and manifestations. Some@limitations they acknowledge such as pre omicron but could help determine who more likely to develop this, why and best treatments? nature.com/articles/s41591-022

'The main goal of this review is to explore the hypothesis of the essential role of pathogens and immune system activation in AD development and a protective role of amyloid beta peptide as a part of brain immunity. This might open the door to new approaches beyond the traditional paradigm and hopefully also new therapeutic strategies.'

#OnThisDay, 25 Jan 1890, American journalist Nellie Bly arrives back in New York, becoming the first person to circumnavigate the world in less than 80 days (she took 72). In France she had met Jules Verne, whose fictional story inspired her trip. She was so popular in the US there was a board game of her journey.

Bly had already caused a stir after her undercover reporting from an asylum.
