'Still, Roche could be forgiven for starting to have second thoughts about jumping into the obesity space with both feet. Recent months have seen Novo kick off a major restructure in the wake of underwhelming data for its next-gen obesity portfolio.'

'Pacino says: “He was the greatest director I ever worked with, in terms of working with (...) Directors came to see Sidney work. When he was on the cameras, how he operates, how he sets up a shot.”'

“We’re kicking around the idea of cutting costs to zero.” The reforms were being discussed in Number 10 and the Treasury before the Trump administration announced last week it would increase to $100,000 the application fee for an H-1B visa, which is relied on by US tech groups.'

'Se as propostas do Governo forem aprovadas, não estaremos a resolver um problema de competitividade — porque ele não está nas leis laborais. Estaremos, sim, a fazer um favor aos sectores menos ambiciosos do tecido empresarial português'

A few years ago, I watched as two Finnish police officers stopped to help a woman on the street. One of the officers explained to me that Finland had decided to end homelessness. On top of that, they provide social services to the people they give homes too. Guess what? It's a good investment.

'The Danish pharmaceutical industry, which is dominated by Novo Nordisk, accounted for 11 percent of the economy’s growth by the end of last year, according to a measure of the economy by the nation’s statistics office, up from 4 percent in 2019.'

'(...) we conclude that the role of Dscam1 isoforms in canonical neuronal self-avoidance & S/NS discrimination is mediated by a small fraction of all isoforms (<1/10), whereas a separate role (...) likely in fitness and immunity, requires almost full isoform diversity'

O misto de desdém e evangelismo nas intervenções de T r µ m p sobre K . r k percebem-se perfeitamente se, no meio da inundação de propaganda, nos lembrarmos que está tudo a ser feito para que o Novo Estado lhe sobreviva. Não com aquele jovem, mas com outra qualquer figura, é indiferente

Israel is a rogue state.

Promising direction to recognise the reward of immigration at a time when so much toxic rhetoric is spewed in the opposite direction in #UKPoli. The question is can the Labour government actually do... something? For once? Forget their snafus. Let's see a positive policy established & celebrated.

Please: if you have Indefinite Leave to Remain and are eligible for citizenship, apply now. In 2015, I went through a terrible divorce. I was on a marriage visa, and my ex reported me as illegally in the UK in order to get me deported. It was VERY scary. Your rights can disappear in a flash.

Fingers crossed: this could make a big change in the perception and real substance of UK science and innovation (and all other talent...)

It's not hallucination, it's bullshit: 'In these, the writers complained that ChatGPT often conflated correlation & causation, failed to provide context (e.g., that soft actuators tend to be very slow), and tended to overhype results by overusing words like "groundbreaking" & "novel"'

During task performance, the brain must integrate information re goal-related objects with contextual details. This study shows that participants' performance on a #SpatialNavigation task is related to syncing of activity between #hippocampus & #EntorhinalCortex @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3Vrw8id

My only regret is that we didn't go with the title "One buffer to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them", although "Squeaky clean staining" was a pretty good options too!

When we build the greatest stereotype engine the world has ever seen we should not be surprised when it reproduces bias

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #Virosky #immunosky #publichealth In a Q&A session @statnews.com , Prof Drew Weissman, the winner of the mRNA Nobel Prize, emphasised the vast body of literature that demonstrates the safety of #COVID 💉

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.

Asking BlueSky for help: For a review, I am trying to accurately credit the first paper that measured pairwise 3D distances between 2 pieces of DNA on the same chromosome (or cosmid). Is Trask 1989 the first? I know of earlier single-locus papers (1982). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Não passa dum Governo de neoliberais, com apoio da extrema-direita parlamentar, absolutamente incapaz de resolver os problemas das pessoas, mas duma enorme eficiência no aumento das desigualdades e das injustiças sociais. A Social-democracia no PSD definitivamente morta e enterrada!

This is truly insane. The definition of "disappearing people"

Nos incêndios, o governo português foi irresponsável e atrasou o combate. Mas o mecanismo europeu também não respondeu a tempo. Passaram 5 longos dias desde o pedido de ajuda até chegarem os primeiros aviões.

Vai ser difícil o PSD produzir outra ministra tão empenhada em gozar com a nossa cara
