"In 1921, nearly 30 per cent of 19-year-old Swiss conscripts had a goitre. In the cantons of Luzern and Obwalden, one in four men were exempt from military service as a result of goitres so large they struggled to breathe. For every man with a goitre, three women suffered from the condition"

Hello !
We are a Genomics core facility located in the centre of Paris, France, within the Ecole normale supérieure.
✅ We support our collaborators by providing access to high-throughput sequencing, with particular expertise in functional genomics applications in eukaryotes. We propose transcriptomics: #RNAseq (low input, short-read and long-read, single-cell #scRNA-seq).
"The F.D.A. has approved six commercial CAR-T products. Cancer specialists said the treatments have saved the lives of thousands of patients with blood cancers. Even if there is a causal link between the treatments and a small risk of a new blood cancer, the regulators said on Tuesday, the benefits of the treatment outweigh the risks. That sentiment was echoed by doctors involved in cancer treatment."

🇫🇮 Finland: Air purifiers use at daycare centres cut kids' sick days by a third
"It would be a big savings if we could get rid of 30% of sick days spread by children, as well as the illnesses that go home to parents"

"The main and interesting conclusion in the abstract is that of the 45% of alumni not continuing in academic research, one third does industry research and one third is in a science-related profession."

"The European Commission’s statements indicate education, research and innovation talks will progress in parallel to the future wider Swiss-EU negotiations. They follow a declaration on November 8 by the Swiss government that it would decide its overall negotiating position by the end of the year for the next stage of talks to regulate its long-term relationship with the EU."

"In reality, one of the most important things the United States government has ever done to advance technology is regulate it. Microsoft was the beneficiary of antitrust litigation aimed at IBM, once the country’s dominant computer maker; Amazon, Google, and Facebook have flourished because a 1996 law granted them extraordinary protection from legal liability for the content they circulate; Apple is a beneficiary of a strong patent regime."

"A petrostate hosting a climate conference” sounds like a situation shouted out at an improv night, after they’ve done the ones about a fox hosting a henhouse and Jimmy Savile hosting Jim’ll Fix It. Arguably, though, the fact the president of this week’s Cop28 climate conference in Dubai is also the CEO of the United Arab Emirates’ state oil firm crosses the fine line between mirthless joke and extinction-level distress signal"

"We show that socially stressed mice have elevated serum antibody concentrations. We also confirm that social stress leads to the expansion of specific T and B cell populations within the cervical lymph nodes, where brain-derived antigens are preferentially delivered."

"Pero, a pesar de estos avances, el conocimiento sobre el sistema inmune sigue siendo limitado y hay cuestiones que aún no se comprenden, admite el neurocientífico Hans Keirstead (Halifax, Canadá, 56 años). El investigador es el CEO del Proyecto del Inmunoma Humano (HIP, por sus siglas en inglés), una iniciativa internacional sin ánimo de lucro que se ha propuesto descodificar ese complejo entramado biológico."
"By 2007, the sea’s surface area had shrunk by around 90 percent, leaving Muynak a landlocked way station for tourists who come to marvel at this ecological disaster, where they take selfies near rusting ship hulks that are perched high and dry in the endless sand."

"Although these systems hold great promise for advancing our understanding of lung biology and disease, there are still many challenges, including efficient derivation of terminal cellular maturity and structural complexity, as well as developing standardized workflows for scalability and reproducibility. Here, we outline the most recent developments in lung organoid systems and their implications for disease modeling that could set the stage for further breakthroughs in this exciting and rapidly evolving field."

"The non-profit I described was the governing structure that OpenAI began with in 2015, when it was formed as a research-oriented non-profit to build safe AI technology.
But ever since OpenAI’s ChatGPT looked to be on its way to achieving the holy grail of tech – an at-scale consumer platform that would generate billions of dollars in profits – its non-profit safety mission has been endangered by big money."
