"Estas aventuras y aprendizajes infantiles se publicaron en la artesanal revista escolar de Bañuelos de Bureba (Burgos), coordinada por el maestro catalán republicano Antonio Benaiges. Tales andanzas aparecieron en el número de enero de 1936. Faltaban siete meses para que Benaiges fuese apaleado, exhibido por el pueblo y fusilado en el páramo. Lo condenaron sus modernos métodos de enseñanza y lo ajusticiaron los franquistas."

If you're one of those organised people who is already thinking about Christmas presents, the FT has just named Blue Machine as one of its best science books of 2023.

And one of the nicest things about the reaction to it has been that even people who have no initial interest in the ocean really love it, as well as those who start as fans. Do give the gift of the ocean this festive season!

"Although type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) were not required for initial priming of CD4+ T cells, cDC1s were required for CD4+ T cell expansion and gut homing. cDC1s were also a major source of IL-12 that was not required for priming but promoted full differentiation of CD4+ T cells and local production of IFN-γ. Together, these studies reveal distinct roles for cDC1s in shaping CD4+ T cell responses to enteric infection: first to drive early expansion in the mesLN and second to drive effector responses in the gut."

'Our results show that neutralizing antibodies in children possess similar genetic features compared to antibodies identified in adults, with multiple antibodies from children belonging to previously established public antibody clonotypes in adults.'

"Inevitably, people have suggested that pulling a move to restore Cameron to the frontline is like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic, but arguably that doesn’t really cover it. This is not like shifting the deckchairs in 1912, an hour after the iceberg had hit, but like doing it now, in 2023, when David Cameron’s form has been largely consumed by molluscs, and fish have been swimming in and out of his cavities, along with the various Treasury committee members who in 2021 probed his lucrative lobbying of ministers on behalf of the now-collapsed Greensill Capital. These days, he’s arguably more reef than man."

Meta is allowing ads containing conspiracy theories about the last US election on Insta and Facebook. I imagine this significantly advantages Trump.
