'Susana Barra’s home in a quiet suburb of Santiago, Chile, is only a few miles from the site of the former notorious Simón Bolívar death camp, which was operated by the secret police during the Pinochet dictatorship. Susana was eight years old when her 23-year-old sister, Jenny, was taken there in 1977, never to be seen again.'

'The new dogma is that bacteria have a pervasive (yet variable) presence within and across solid tumors—the ”presence of intratumoral bacteria being designated a hallmark of cancer.”

'However, in response to the decision, three members of the Food and Drug Administration’s expert independent advisory committee, which voted almost unanimously against approval, resigned, with Harvard professor of medicine Aaron Kesselheim describing it as “probably the worst drug approval decision in recent US history.”1 Given that existing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease have only marginal benefit at best,2 what does aducanumab’s controversial approval in the US mean for patients, clinicians, and researchers?'

This makes sense - PD1/PDL1 are great targets, but the degree of dominance over the last decade was worrisome. Great to see more diversity
"Our current analysis of global IO clinical trials shows that the field took a turn in 2022 with respect to previous years. After more than a decade of an upward trajectory, we notice a decrease in new clinical trials, a shift driven largely by the reduction in phase II studies using anti-PD1/PDL1 mAbs."

"When we hear a great talk, we recognize how we may be able to use the conclusions (and whether we want to), integrating them into how we think about, well, everything pertaining to the subject at hand. The same conclusions, offered during a bad or mediocre version of the talk, may well lose this potential (unless the listener works very hard to ignore the distractions of the presentation to reach the conclusions from the data alone). When we leave a really great seminar, we can understand and communicate those conclusions."

"This wonderful and meticulously performed study produces strong and complementary evidence for facultative parthenogenesis in T. douglasi populations… This might be an example of an ongoing transition from sexual to asexual reproduction, which indicates that obligate parthenogenesis may derive via transient facultative parthenogenesis" https://evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/PCIEvolBiol/articles/rec?id=551 #Evolution #EvolutionaryBiology #parthenogenesis @dee_unil @PeerCommunityIn
'While estimates vary, public housing represents roughly 2 per cent of Portugal’s housing stock and between 1 and 3 per cent of all homes in Spain — below the EU average of 7.5 per cent and far off France’s 14 per cent and nearly 17 per cent in the UK.'

'As recentes declarações da ministra da Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior são, ao mesmo tempo, surpreendentes e infelizes. Por um lado, não pode deixar de causar enorme perplexidade que alguém que faz do combate à desigualdade de género uma das suas grandes bandeiras governativas se apresse a varrer para debaixo do tapete o problema, revelando uma inesperada insensibilidade.'

'Canfranc had been one of only three places the railway crossed the border. In 1936 Franco had closed the border and ordered the walling up of the train tunnel (now used as an underground laboratory for research into dark matter, which requires the sort of “cosmic silence” found deep within mountains). With petrol scarce and no more trains, the only way out was on foot.'

'Over the past two years, more than 250,000 migrant children have come alone to the United States. Thousands of children have ended up in punishing jobs across the country — working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machinery in factories — all in violation of child labor laws, a recent Times investigation showed.'
