Our study opens new perspectives to study the effect of VPA on social development. It also offers a new tool to investigate brain lateralization and its link to ASD in a zebrafish model. 7/7
VPA exposure also neutralizes the asymmetric expression of kctd12.1/leftover, a gene involved in the lateralized development of the epithalamus. Additionally, morphometric analysis suggests the "symmetrization" of the dorsolateral habenular nucleus in animals exposed to VPA. 6/7
Women faculty feel ‘pushed’ from #academia by poor workplace climate
The gender gap in faculty attrition worsens after tenure, according to study. #WomenInScienceDay#WomeninSTEM

Women researchers are cited less than men. Here’s why—and what can be done about it
Two studies of citations in physics highlight factors contributing to this gender disparity. #WomenInScienceDay#WomeninSTEM

To all the women who have been told that they are:
too loud,
too emotional,
too ambitious,
too difficult,
too bossy,
too much,
Stereotypes have held us back for far too long.

As well as being a source of support, our various systems for evaluating grants are frequently a source of despair. Martin Dresler @FensKavliNet has a brilliant analysis with ideas for change https://t.co/pL5lAZU70k

New! We show an unexpected parallel between endogenous and environmentally-driven asymmetries: "Light-induced asymmetries in the embryonic retina are mediated by the vascular system and extracellular matrix" https://t.co/5h0GiO31Uc 1/n

Servono altre prove che in tv gli scienziati NON devono dare la loro opinione ma limitarsi a ciò che è stato scientificamente dimostrato? Che ti chiami Viola o Crisanti o Zangrillo: la tua opinione dovrebbe contare ZERO. Io non dormirei la notte a dare consigli su seconde dosi.
BREAKING NEWS:
The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”
