Tropical trees distance themselves from members of their own species more than they do other species, and more than would be expected by factors like seed dispersal limits.

The results in Science help to explain the high diversity of tropical forests. https://t.co/iKtwiOr7oO

After 5 years in the making, I am elated to share our work on how cardiac macrophages elicit atrial fibrillation @ScienceMagazine. Specially proud of our surgical MR model.

What a team we were with @MatthiasNahrend & @MaartenHulsmans + entire lab @MGHCSB

Thrilled to share our work in @ScienceMagazine today. We report a flexible probe that is delivered into the brain through blood vessels without open skull surgery, for neural recording across the vessel wall. @StanfordEng @HarvardCCB @MGH_RI @StanfordMed https://t.co/iT7AFaXPdL

Our understanding of how the brain and immune system interact has changed substantially over the past years and decades.

On #WorldBrainDay, check out a #ScienceReview on recent discoveries that are transforming our understanding of brain immunity: https://t.co/t9qi6yIC7J

Leaf patterning in some of the earliest leafy plants differs from patterning in most living species, according to a new Science study.

The findings could shed light on the evolution of leaf patterning as well as the origin of leaves themselves. https://t.co/5iRZa7v9vz

Tanzanian nurse Wilson Fungameza saw many premature babies die in the neonatal unit where he worked.

Breathing aid machines are expensive and not widely available. So, Wilson devised his own machine using materials easily available in hospitals, with remarkable results. 📹

I agree with @doclauravater - Clinicians don’t need more training on how to be resilient. They are already highly resilient. Instead, they need more support. More advocacy. More people seeing them as whole human beings. If only people knew how little we sleep, rest, thrive.

The murder in cold blood of Eswatini human rights lawyer #ThulaniMaseko is devastating. Thulani fought hard for justice and the rule of law and paid a heavy price. His shooting in front of his family, is a reminder of the dangers HR defenders continue to face on the continent!

“There is increasing evidence, however, that endurance exercise acutely increases markers of myocardial injury and acutely decreases RV function… The clinical significance of these possible effects of large amounts of exercise training are uncertain.” https://t.co/jXSgrMBtSs

What are South African research labs doing to survive stage 6 loadshedding? How are samples being kept cold/experiments kept running/etc—especially in less well-resourced labs?
Curious.
