@cyrilpedia Freakonomics did a 3 episode deep dive inti Adam Smith - highly recommended!
Here is a link to part 2; it is most relevant to your post.

Almost 200 million people around the world have endometriosis. So why does it take so long to get diagnosed? Here's an #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth thread about this common and chronic gynaecological condition.

Harald Hess awarded the 2023 James Prize in Science and Technology Integration by the US National Academy of Sciences: https://www.nasonline.org/programs/awards/2023-awards/Hess.html
At #HHMIJanelia, the lab of Harald Hess revolutionized electron microscopy with enhanced FIBSEM (C. Shan Xu et al. 2017 @eLife https://elifesciences.org/articles/25916 ) –now in use by us at #MRCLMB, and applied for whole #Drosophila CNS imaging; built an automated STEM to image the whole #Drosophila larval body at 5x5x35 nm; and so much more. Hats off! Congratulations!

Spoiler alert: no (Smith was not a moral idiot).
"How did this happen? How did Smith’s ideas become so thoroughly integrated into conservative defenses of the free market against regulation? And are these the only ways of reading his work?"
Preprint: gene fusions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
"We leveraged bulk RNA-Seq data from human post-mortem samples to determine whether fusion events occur in ALS. We report for the first time the presence of gene fusion events in several brain regions as well as in spinal cord samples in ALS."

FInd joy where you can:
"To the delight of scientists across the life sciences, reads, which are the output of sequencing instruments, have been getting longer."
'Because mink are known to spread certain viruses to humans, the fear was that the disease could jump from mink to people. No humans got sick from the outbreak in Spain, but other infections have spread from mink to humans before: In 2020, COVID outbreaks on Danish mink farms led to new mink-related variants that spread to a small number of humans.'

ICYMI, it was a pleasure to interview Nobel-prize winning immunologist Tasuku Honjo about the story behind his lab's discovery of PD1, a classic @embojournal paper from 1992.

"We established a reference library of TCR-beta germline genes by annotating three Chiroptera: The Greater Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. ferrumequinum), The Pale spear-nosed Bat (Phyllostomus discolor, P. discolor), and the Common Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. pipistrellus)."
