My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

@mjoanasa Penso que a primeira enzima, em PT, será fenilalanil-tRNA ligase. Quanto ao apoptossoma, parece que os nomes são usados em separado, não encontro usado dessa forma em PT. Em teoria seria ARN, mas na prática não se usa, fica tRNA. Espero ter ajudado!

Gut bacteria are stronger when in community 🤝

EMBL Heidelberg researchers found that sensitive bacteria can be protected from drugs when part of communities. These emergent behaviours will help to design more efficient therapies, with less side effects.

“Focus on what is within your control.”

Medicine laureate Katalin Karikó shared some valuable advice with us in Stockholm yesterday. She sees no point in comparing yourself with people around you, as we are all on our own journey.
