"My message to those I work with is that the stereotype of the overworked, stressed-out academic is unhealthy and outdated." A clinical psychologist argues that academics shouldn’t idolize a workaholic lifestyle in this week's #SciMagWorkingLife. https://t.co/ohdd0t94pm
#Malaria parasite mutations that inhibit the endocytoic appetite for a host’s red blood cells may render them resistant to artemisinin, a widely used antimalarial drug, according to a new Science study. https://t.co/C35mOBo861 #Biology#Health
Nanoparticles containing chemotherapeutic drugs and “hitchhiking” on red blood cells treat cancerous lung tumors more successfully than nanoparticles delivered alone, a recent mouse study in @ScienceAdvances shows. https://t.co/T6AzDOIVD8
“Scientists have become so accustomed to celebrating only success that we’ve forgotten that most technological advances stem from failure,” writes @drdevangm. https://t.co/JKVIv5iMMj
Researchers have discovered a new species of insect-specific virus, which served as a safe and flexible platform for developing vaccines and diagnostics for West Nile, Zika and related viruses. @ScienceTM#InfectiousDisease#GlobalHealth#flaviviruses https://t.co/IsRL8CuJfz
