Happy to share my first publication, where we present our discovery of multi-chaperone condensates that orchestrate protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum!

Jetzt erst, als sie verblüht sind und die Blätter gelb werden, habe ich sie im Garten entdeckt: zwei Grosse Zweiblatt. Wir haben Orchideen im Garten 🎉

With x-ray microtomography, researchers created a full 3D model of a half-billion-year-old trilobite.

.. to remedies selected by AI, which learned nothing because there are no specific treatment effects of remedies containing nothing on which to train a model.

This is hilariously absurd: comparing homeopathic remedies, containing nothing that could have a specific effect, chosen by a homeopathic practitioner, who does nothing more than pick one remedy containing nothing from a list of remedies that also contain nothing, ...

Well, as for the heads-up, I’m well aware of the main actors, and this isn’t my first book on why sex matters and the material reality of being a woman.

Apparently I’m “not up to date with the literature”, so "The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht" is now ordered and on top of my reading list… not quite sure it’ll help me wheesht, though.

An illustration depicting the changes in the immune system throughout an individual’s life span, from infancy to childhood, adulthood, and older age. The infant silhouette contains DNA, and the figures are enveloped by the nuclear and plasma membranes.

A new special issue of Science explores the immune system at the molecular and cellular level and how it has evolved to govern multiple facets of human health. (THREAD 🧵) scim.ag/3JgfUWd

I once asked ChatGPT how it thought I looked, and it depicted me as a bald-headed male! While being a woman is important for my life and experiences, it does not dictate my professional interests, and I don't care about most stereotype attributes. It's me, a woman free to choose who she wants to be.

I also wondered, as preprints are usually screened for suitability. It is rather remarkable that now even his preprints are retracted, or rather disappear.

Perhaps being a fair reviewer is not such a bad thing

After months I wondered what had happened to that 'reprint' and got the following using the link above:

Le document n'a pas été trouvé
Le document avec l'identifiant hal-04795904v0 n'existe pas

So at least it had disappeared there 👍

UN experts decry #Israel’s escalation of its genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people in #Gaza, & call on the international community to end its complicity in the face of Israeli atrocities as ceasefire talks continue without progress.

Thank you to the author Valerie Hudson for this article.

I take this opportunity to clarify that States and other stakeholders are not obligated to accept our findings and recommendations.

Thank you for speaking up. I remember the frustration when I realised that even GWUP does not allow for debate after many hostile and defamatory discussions, the constant loss of information resources due to blocks, and finally being frozen for sharing well-documented figures

Uncovering protein prenylation in Th1 cells: novel prenylation sites and insights into statin and farnesyltransferase inhibition - BMC Biology Background T helper 1 (Th1) cell activation is an essential process for immune responses and is tightly regulated, including the prenylation of proteins critical for T cell function.

Microfeminism: The next big thing in fighting the patriarchy People are sharing the different tactics they use help to uplift women in small ways.

I'm loving this idea of microfeminism. About how every day habit the little things can change the world. I'm especially loving the school teacher that calls the dad first. These acts are not insignificant they sometimes matter more. What is your act of micro feminism? www.npr.org/2024/12/04/g...

I also just wrote them; this attempt to justify the various breaches of ethical standards, combined with a defamation campaign, is not acceptable.

Excited to have my 1st @sgn.one paper out now in @genomeresearch.bsky.social! We present a reference genome & the 1st population genomic analysis for the endangered (& understudied) European garden dormouse genome.cshlp.org/content/34/1...

An informative infographic to share with academic administrators when they are puzzled why so few women apply to senior leadership positions. The pool is already small, but there remain barriers.

Pasteurisieren hilft! Rohmilch kann Bakterien wie E. coli, Listerien und Salmonellen enthalten; und wenn es zusätzlich H5N1-Viren enthält, kann es zur Verbreitung der Vogelgrippe beitragen.
