What if - & I’m just spitballing here - we invested large sums of federal money into a set of world-class research institutions all around the country, which could do pathbreaking science & train future generations of scientists & teach our children about the wonders of science? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Low number of fixed somatic mutations in a long-lived oak tree - Nature Plants Sequencing of nested branches from a 234-year-old oak tree reveals a low number of somatic mutations accumulating during its lifetime, implying that mechanisms are in place to reduce these potentially...

Another @biorxiv-evobio.bsky.social preprint of work led by @wenfeixian.bsky.social. With our Lausanne colleagues, we revisit the Napoleon Oak. An earlier long-read genome had revealed a relatively low number of somatic mutations (www.nature.com/articles/s41...).

Transformative outcomes are associated with co-creation, which requires knowledge-holders to be brought together with the right tools and connected as a team.

Ever wondered what the differences between disciplinary, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research are?

In this Cell Reports Sustainability commentary, Kate O'Brien, Emily Nastase & William Dennison break it down with a brilliant fruit analogy! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

A consensus platform for antibody characterization - Nature Protocols YCharOS is a consensus platform for antibody characterization developed through collaboration between academia and industry, enabling direct comparisons among antibodies that target a specific protein...

Poorly validated antibodies fuel the reproducibility crisis.

YCharOS shares a protocol for antibody validation using KO cell lines.
