'Desde luego, la confusión, la incertidumbre e incluso la apatía en medio del caos dan una enorme ventaja a una persona tenaz y decidida, ya sea Napoleón después de la Revolución Francesa o Lenin tras la Revolución Rusa de febrero de 1917. Los dos se hicieron con el poder durante un interregno, que Alexander Herzen denominó “la viuda encinta”: el periodo posterior al derrocamiento de un antiguo régimen y anterior a que nazca su sucesor.'

"Inmet thermometers repeatedly registered temperatures above 40C across the centre-west and south-east, with a peak of 43.3C in Corumbá on the border with Bolivia on Wednesday. With temperatures hitting 37.7C and 42.6C, respectively, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro broke records for the year. In Rio, affectionately nicknamed “Hell de Janeiro” by locals, feels-like temperatures reached a staggering 59.7C on Saturday."
"One of the issues that is certain to be explored is whether the scientists were adequately consulted at key moments, including about the eat out to help out scheme, in which the public were offered a discount on restaurant bills to encourage them to eat out."

The Large Hadron Collider collides protons. A good source of protons is Hydrogen, just strip the electrons off and away you go.
This little red bottle is their Hydrogen source. Not for a week or a year...that one bottle is enough for 200,000 years.
News to me:
"Although described mostly in the context of lymphocytes, recent studies by our laboratory showed that IL-2R is expressed in smooth muscle cells."

The public education system is not failing.
It's being deliberately disrupted and defunded, by billionaires.
They're attempting to use vouchers & charter schools to get public funding for segregated private schools.
They want to convert every publicly funded system into systems of public corruption.
Patronage & pork for their billionaire donors is all the GOP do.

"With $1,000,000 in prizes, the NIH is seeking your ideas that will help demonstrate new ways of conducting basic research, uncovering disease mechanisms, and translating knowledge into products and eventually into practice."
"By the end of 2021, more than a fifth of job transitions from large companies in Japan were people leaving to join start-ups, according to the Japan Venture Capital Association, compared with 8 per cent in 2018. That proportion has continued to push towards 25 per cent, according to JVCA members."

"We argue that only by considering placentas as 3D biological structures, integrated across scales, can the evolutionary questions behind their enormous structural diversity be quantitatively determined."

"The whole game of intellectual ownership here has been so stylised that it is hard to discern the purpose, even if we all recognise the rules. For example, when the second paragraph of this column lifted 13 words verbatim from the King James Bible, was that plagiarism? Obviously not. But only because everyone knows that I was quoting from the Bible. If the copying is blatant enough, it is no longer plagiarism but homage."

"In fact, research indicates that, in labs where postdocs are more engaged, PhD students can be 4 times as likely to have positive skill development; mentoring by principal investigators had no discernible statistical effect on the same variable"

"After Mr. Escobar was killed in a rooftop shootout with security forces in Medellín in 1993, his hippos fended for themselves. They waddled into an artificial pond and reproduced, drawing affection and ire as their numbers multiplied."

"That conflict between fast growth and A.I. safety came into focus on Friday afternoon, when Mr. Altman was pushed out of his job by four of OpenAI’s six board members, led by Mr. Sutskever. The move shocked OpenAI employees and the rest of the tech industry, including Microsoft, which has invested $13 billion in the company. Some industry insiders were saying the split was as significant as when Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985."

"A number of mouse models have been created in an attempt to replicate the human phenotype, although all have limitations. There are also natural bovine models and engineered models in pig and rabbit."

"Given that up to 20% of clinical trial costs is related to the manual transfer and verification of data from the electronic medical record to a data capture system, as well as the site monitoring of such data, all of which are readily automated tasks, the application of AI to clinical trials could be revolutionary and is likely necessary."
