"The world is continuously being transformed by science and technology (S&T), but to deliver equitable benefits to the public, scientists must be embedded in influential sectors of society—policy, diplomacy, journalism, law, business, education, and more. This means injecting PhD-level experts at every stage of research and development, from ideation, investigation, and investment to manufacture, deployment, regulation, and after-market evaluation."

"Here, we review the impact of nutrient uptake and IEC metabolism on gut inflammation and tumorigenesis and discuss how epithelial metabolism affects host–microbe commensalism in mammals. We propose that specific insights into epithelial immunometabolism will allow for the development of novel therapies for human IBD and CRC."

I’m a Jew and I’m sickened by this. Yes, I was horrified by the Oct. 7 terrorist attack. But Palestinian civilians are NOT Hamas and this is not defense. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Gaza is 141 sq miles.

In my reviews, I often try to give examples of things that were unclear or writing trends in the manuscript that are unclear.

'On line # it was difficult for me to understand if there was more of X in sample Y compared to Z when reading the text.'

'Throughout the text, new terms are used without being first defined for example on line # ...

This takes effort, and I understand some reviewers just want to summarize, but summarize with the facts not interpretations.

February 11th is International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Here is an interview (in 🇪🇸) with my former co-worker Nuria Ferrandiz - now a group leader in cancer research in Salamanca - to mark the occasion.

In #NorthCarolina, an anarchist book collective rescued 22,000 books that were banned by a #Florida school district and is offering them free to anyone who wants them. Many are headed back to Florida. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/02/10/florida-book-ban-duval-schools/

So if a doctor in Texas performs an abortion, they are fined $100K, lose their medical license, and get a life sentence. If a woman in Texas gets an abortion:, she's fined $10K and sentenced to life in prison.

But if a man forces his wife to take abortion pills, it's 180 days jail.

Tell me it's not about controlling women.

"A tablet of wood inscribed with the undeciphered "rongorongo" script from the Eastern Pacific island Rapa Nui is one of the few independently invented writing systems.

The wood from one of four rongorongo tablets preserved in a collection in Rome dates to between 1493 and 1509 — more than 200 years before the first recorded arrival of Europeans on the island in the 1720s."
