Scientist's way of saying 'I ❤️ you'

"I found this paper/preprint that made me think of your project."
"I checked the mice/cells/plates already."
"I just sent you the edits you requested."
"I have a slide/diagram that will work for that."
"I had that problem with [lab equipment], I have a fix."

Rapid host adaptations in response to viral infections
Viruses threaten all living organisms leading to molecular conflicts which have shaped hosts over evolutionary timescales. This meeting seeks to gather scientists from diverse disciplines including genomics, population genetics, innate immunology, virology, and beyond, to explore the evolution, diversity, molecular basis, and dynamics of these conflicts.

Uruguay built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. It produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources & created 50,000 new jobs. Customers pay at least 20% less than they did before the transition

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

For decades, Canadians eagerly rushed onto US tech platforms and services. But now the drawbacks of that dependence are on full display.

For @policyalternatives.ca, I explain the economic and political consequences of a US-dominated internet — and why digital sovereignty is imperative.

In general I think it's hard to combat scientific misinformation when some of the best research is locked behind an academic paywall, while lots of nonsense gets published free for everyone to read in predatory journals.

Fever isn’t just a symptom, it's a window into immunity.

Maloney et al. show how temperature fluctuations, from tissues to T cell mitochondria, shape immune responses. Rising global temps make this research more critical than ever. 🔬🌡️

🧵How to write and manage your first research budgets

The point of funding is to convert it into quality research. A well-spent research budget should fund the idea it was raised on, plus revision experiments, plus preliminary data for the next grant. So you need to spend, while avoiding waste.
