Is this for real @Spotify ??
I`m cancelling my subscription... if you want to create a biased system which shuts down artists diversity, then I`ll pick another music player. Cheers.

for those of you interested on human neuronal aging... Jerome is a joy to work with! :-) pls spread the word.

@newscientist @Steez_ziz for you!

[E.H. Douma @ehdouma]

My first research paper is now online!

Together with em. prof. dr. E. Ronald de Kloet, I wrote a review article titled "Stress-induced plasticity and functioning of ventral tegmental dopamine neurons".

The article is open access and can be found here:

Despite being a carrier for PSEN1 mutation, the women reported in this clinical case did not develop AD until her seventies, due to a rare mutation in APOE.
how cool?

Conventional wisdom on evolution was that new genes tended to arise when existing ones are accidentally duplicated, blended with others or broken up. Some researchers, however, now think that de novo genes could be quite common. https://t.co/wDIr1PRlyz

Aka 35 meters high wave... Insane...

A stunning view: Sebastian Steudtner, a German pro surfer, rode a wave over 115 feet tall at Nazare, Portugal https://t.co/tF7eKEK3O1

After several years, it’s a victory for all that advance science in Portugal! We will finally be reimbursed for 23% VAT in non for profit research. We did it!

If you love genetics, I strongly recommend Diagnosis, a new series on Netflix which focus on mysterious and rare medical conditions https://t.co/V6o1u8w9ef

@meganamsu I couldn`t agree more :)

[Diana P Fernandes @Dianaspf]

a big plot twist?
The mRNA of defective genes ensures that related genes are activated, thereby compensating the genetic defect.

@CGAlmeidaG So, there`s lots of knowledge that gets lost from the original publications until now... sometimes, there`s even secondary findings which are not fully-understood at the time of the publication but can be explained in the days of today with great relevance for society. :)

[Diana P Fernandes @Dianaspf]

@CGAlmeidaG My lab fellow colleague was reading papers from the early 90s in order to figure out how to amplify regions of the genome enriched in small repeats... after 6 months of experimental failure, she managed to do so through PCRs with 18% DMSO, commonly used in the 90s!!

@AnoeskaMoosdijk Do it!!

[Diana P Fernandes @Dianaspf]

@GoncaloMPeres Ahhh so cool!!
