I have closed Twitter and deleted the app from my phone. Now I need recommendations on who to follow here. I am interested in #climate, #energy, #airquality, #sustainabledevelopment

Faltam casas para quem constrói casas. Não há tempo para formar pessoas na área da construção civil. Os negócios não avançam porque não há casas.

Quem acha que este é um problema com um causa única e que se resolve com meia dúzia de medidas avulsas para inglês ver... ...está enganado.

Na altura da troika destruímos boa parte da industria de construção civil (muita gente emigrou permanentemente). Nunca recuperamos.

“This highly cited Science paper is riddled with problematic blot images,” it said. That anonymous 2015 observation helped spark a chain of events that led Stanford’s president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, to announce his resignation this month.'

We've seen this movie before. As Imani Barbarin says, they’re going to “herd immunity” climate change.

Issued on July 26, 1948, Harry Truman’s Executive Order 9981 eradicated segregation in military. The response from the military units, however, ranged from muted to outright hostility. This was no surprise. Truman’s decision & the reactions to it symbolized Black Americans’ broad struggle for dignity, respect, opportunity, and freedom in the United States of America.

Here is my #introduction. I am a biologist interested in #neuroscience and the #evolution of cells and nervous systems. My research group studies #ciliated marine larvae from a whole-organism perspective, combining behaviour, #connectomics, #imaging, #CRISPR, #modelling and other approaches. We love marine #larvae, their #neurons, #cilia, and #neuropeptides.

This may be my all time favorite meme. Bury me in it.

BCMA targeting CARTs in #MultipleMyeloma

"At a median follow-up of 15.9 months (range, 0.1 to 27.3), the median progression-free survival was not reached in the cilta-cel group and was 11.8 months in the standard-care group (hazard ratio, 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.18 to 0.38; P<0.001). Progression-free survival at 12 months was 75.9% (95% CI, 69.4 to 81.1) in the cilta-cel group and 48.6% (95% CI, 41.5 to 55.3) in the standard-care group."

"Most scientific-journal articles come from wealthy countries in the global north. Often, well-funded researchers initiate short-term projects in southern countries — which are typically poorer and often have a history of colonial occupation — frequently without seeking substantive local input or expertise. Dubbed parachute or helicopter research, this is a long-standing tradition steeped in colonialism, say those campaigning for change."

Hi everyone! New to this server, here's a few lines to introduce myself.

Postdoc researcher working on metal-organic frameworks, my goal is to use single-crystal total scattering analysis to determine the non-periodic atomic structure of porous materials. I looove patterns and crystals, and I cannot resist sharing those I find most beautiful!

I am also a passionate mental health and diversity advocate, deeply convinced that it's always worth letting our quirkiness shine out bright!

Cheers

@AllenNeuroLab I’m optimistic about the potential of groups like @neuroscience and @neurobuzz. But I’m still experiencing the same issue as you are, partly because this instance makes it difficult to find or follow people on other instances. I’ll keep trying. At least I get the @biorxivpreprint feed.

@AllenNeuroLab @neuroscience @neurobuzz @biorxivpreprint in theory there is a @biorxiv_neursci but in practice it isn’t working yet (for me, anyway).

Geologist Marie Tharp was born #OTD in 1920.

She built the first accurate map of the Atlantic Ocean floor, discovering the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that provided evidence for seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.
