When science meets ignorance.
He received death threats over standing up to Trump and still didn't consider quitting. Great respect for this man and his integrity.
How would the world be if we had these kind of men as politicians?

It isn’t like I took any pleasure in contradicting the president of the United States. I have a great deal of respect for the office. But I made a decision that I just had to. Otherwise I would be compromising my own integrity, and be giving a false message to the world. If I didn’t speak up, it would be almost tacit approval that what he was saying was OK.

Superconductivity, Graphene and Charge Gradient Propulsion Navigation
Observations: Hey look what the other scientists have confirmed, some materials cooled to near-absolute zero (-273.15 Celsius) are without electrical resistance. The charge gradient perspective and interpretation, allow for the observation that the state of their charge gradient can ...

@Keiko Hunari By the way... Welcome to the Fediverse, this universe of free, federated social networks!
You may want to introduce yourself to the community by using some tags, such us #newhere and others that might give people an idea of what are you interested in (like #worms, #nature, #art, #science, #socialjustice, #farming, #family... You know...). That will open some doors for you and allow you to get in touche with similar-minded people.

How the famed Arecibo telescope fell—and how it might rise again
Arecibo was also a cultural icon.
On 1 December 2020, the 900-ton instrument platform of the Arecibo Observatory crashed into its dish, which is cradled in a natural sinkhole.

Why cats are crazy for catnip
The characteristic response of cats to nepetalactol via the μ-opioid system provides an important example of chemical pest defense using plant metabolites in nonhuman mammals.

This painting depicts the fusion of SARS-CoV-2 (magenta) with an endosomal membrane (green), releasing the viral RNA genome into the cell cytoplasm (blue), where it is beginning to be translated by cellular ribosomes to create viral polyproteins. The painting includes speculative elements that are designed highlight the process, most notably, multiple states of the viral spike protein are shown.

This painting shows a cross section through SARS-CoV-2 surrounded by blood plasma, with neutralizing antibodies in bright yellow. The painting was commissioned for the cover of a special COVID-19 issue of Nature, presented 20 August 2020, and is currently in the collection of the Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences.
It incorporates information from two cryoelectron microscopy studies that explore the shape and distribution of spikes and the nucleoprotein:

This painting depicts a coronavirus just entering the lungs, surrounded by mucus secreted by respiratory cells, secreted antibodies, and several small immune systems proteins. The virus is enclosed by a membrane that includes the S (spike) protein, which will mediate attachment and entry into cells, M (membrane) protein, which is involved in organization of the nucleoprotein inside, and E (envelope) protein, which is a membrane channel involved in budding of the virus and may be incorporated into the virion during that process. The nucleoprotein inside includes many copies of the N (nucleocapsid) protein bound to the genomic RNA.

His art combines two aspects that are really dear to me, science and art. I love it!
Would love to see something like this about topics of #computationalbiology as well.
Would love to see something like this about topics of #computationalbiology as well.
I would like it if a scientist comes to work, sees the sun shining through one of these pieces, and feels inspired and valued, if a non-scientist appreciates them for their artistic qualities, becomes curious and wants to know more, and if young people look at these and start asking questions – especially questions that we never thought of and to which we don’t know the answers.

A team of German neuroscientists from the Humboldt University of Berlin spent several weeks hanging out with rodents in a small room filled with boxes. They were playing human-vs-rodent hide-and-seek and found out the animals were surprisingly adept at the cross-cultural childhood game. They weren’t even given treats as a reward, rather, they were given attention in the form of friendly petting and tickles.#neuroresearch #science
The study offered new insight into play behavior, and how it is an important evolutionary trait among mammals. It reveals how critical play is as part of cognitive development for adolescent mammals.

I made a video about my research for the Brain Week of the University of Amsterdam. The video was part of a series of talks shown to students that are considering following a bachelor program at the UvA.
My video is meant to be an example of how to do research on language and the brain.
I'm sharing the video , since I know there are a few linguists and people generally interested on science, the brain, and all that jazz...
Enjoy!

Twitter has suspended the account of Sci-Hub, a site that offers a free #gateway to paywalled research. The site is accused of violating the counterfeit policy of the social #media platform. However, founder Alexandra #Elbakyan believes that this is an effort to silence the growing #support amidst a high profile #court case in #India.#science #freedom #internet #economy #news #copyright #justice
