If you know (even distantly) people who live in or have family in Palestine* or Israel*, please check on them. People who didn't live through such situations might not realise how important it is to have people check on you and to know that your life still has value to the outside world.
* I used a randomiser for the order, don't read anything by it.

In her #JEB100 ECR Spotlight, Anuradha Batabyal tells us how she proposes a generalized experimental framework in her Commentary to answer some of the most important biological questions and how she hopes that we will understand the impact of urbanisation on personality in the future

'Here’s what infectious disease experts want you to know about some of the most common adult and pediatric viruses (and one bacterial infection): their symptoms, how they spread, how to treat them and when you (or your child) can re-enter society.'

"Desde hace tiempo, las principales zonas de cultivo europeas han visto reducir tanto sus cosechas como la calidad del lúpulo por culpa del trastorno climático. Proyectado hacia el futuro, el trabajo señala a las plantaciones de España y otros países del sur de Europa como las más afectadas por el calentamiento."

A few choice highlights below.
Fun fact: my paper on understanding natural selection and avoiding misconceptions is cited in that first line.

"Aortic aneurysms occur six times more often in men than women. But if a woman does have one, it’s more likely to burst, she’s less likely to get effective treatment and more likely to die. These outcomes are a tangle of sex (influenced by chromosomes, physiology and hormones) and gender (how we identify, behave in our environment and interact with one another). Why is our society calibrated for men so that women receive substandard medical care? And why are researchers not studying half the world’s population who are excellent at not getting aneurysms?"
"Unexpectedly, approximately 15% of the steady state population of hTR has a CR4/5 conformation lacking features required for hTERT binding. Mutagenesis demonstrates that stabilization of the alternative CR4/5 conformation is detrimental to telomerase assembly and activity. We propose that this misfolded portion of the cellular hTR pool is either slowly refolded or degraded."

"Using evidence in skeletons of people who died in the 1918 outbreak, researchers reported that people who suffered from chronic diseases or nutritional deficiencies were more than twice as likely to die as those who did not have such conditions, no matter their age."

I just sent a letter demanding AI companies remove my works from their training data. Use the Authors Guild's letter template to send your own. But please do augment it with your own details (I added my publication info. And called them parasites)

"Miniature etchings
This series of etchings are inspired by the works of Hercules Seghers, Rembrandt and Bruegel the Younger. Some are also loosely inspired by Dutch landscape paintings from the 17th century. The prints are very small, some are roughly the size of a stamp, and are at times watercoloured."

"Increasing electron flow through mitochondrial complex I elevated succinate levels and led to transcriptional and epigenetic activation of major histocompatability complex class I (MHC-I) and antigen presentation and processing genes."

"Despite the high success of the current COVID-19 vaccines, there are several limitations, including their reduced effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 VoCs, short duration of protection, inability to induce a mucosal immune response to protect the airways, and high cost of production or distribution (11, 12). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop the next generation of intranasal COVID-19 vaccines which induce durable and broadly protective immunity, both in the airways and systemically."

This week is #BabyLossAwarenessWeek.
Our researchers are committed to understanding the causes and impact of pregnancy loss, but, above all, helping prevent it.
