I haven't posted one of these in a while, so here's a reminder that 37% of the revenue from #Elsevier exits #academia and ends up in the pockets of shareholders: https://library.unc.edu/2020/02/scholarly-publishing-at-the-tipping-point/
Here's one way in which we can wrestle our labor away from them, using #CollectiveAction.

Our research poster from Harvard Medical School last month (PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z3ehnrVvfZG5e_uu8i0Y4HS86Tw_vI8Q/view?usp=sharing) with key findings about 43 projects that have integrated #medical provision & #biodiversity #conservation. #planetaryhealth mapping.
This book about contemporary #fascism is quite good and I'm learning a lot from it. It's also rather horrifying. https://amzn.to/3ORwlHp

@BogochIsaac@twitter.com I think you didn’t read this graph correctly. It shows that the cohort with less exposure in early life (babies born in 2020/21) was much much less impacted than others.
Here is different graph of the same data:
Green line: fewest prior exposure —> least impacted.

Model organism limitations
"Although many of the fundamental observations in murine models are expected to be similar in human tissue, it may still be difficult to directly transfer the observations to a human context. In particular, murine skin architecture is dominated by hair follicles, which are less frequent in human skin, leaving human skin with a larger proportion of much thicker interfollicular epidermis (22). Hence, to understand and translate the functions of the TGF-β signaling pathways into a human setting, it is important to use a human cellular and tissue system"

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.
Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve diversity in STEM.
