On 11 Nov. 2020, APOD published this spectacular image. It is a spiral mosaic of 48 full moons, collected over 10 years from northern to southern Italy. No trick: it is the Moon, filtered by Earth’s atmosphere. Credit: Marcella Giulia Pace apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap20111... 🔭⚛️🧪 #astrophotography
Forty-eight full-Moon photos. Black background. They form a spiral, and the rings get tighter toward the middle. Some appear gray, some brownish gray. Others appear yellow, orange or deep red. A few pale blues. One vivid purple Moon sits near the center. Several disks low in the arrangement look slightly flattened rather than round. The sequence ends with a faint red Moon from the total lunar eclipse of 27 July 2018. Small credit text at the bottom reads Marcella Giulia Pace.

I was literally funded for a federal project last month with AI in the project title. I also received an email from a DOE lab with "AI-driven discovery" in the subject line this morning. We are all his enemies now. ⚛️🧪

a sure sign that something is "highly accepted" is if you have to threaten to impose the power of the state against those who don't accept it

Fab story from Margaret Hamilton, RIP, showing why Science-Mums are brilliant scientists! When innovating at the cutting edge of technology, it's so important to bring together a wide range of lived experiences. Sad that only ~20% comp-scientists are female 👩‍🔬🧪 ℹ️: www.theguardian.com/techn….
Right: A woman looking very cool in a 70's dress standing next to a massive pile of very thick books Left text: Did your life as a software engineer and a mother ever collide? Often in the evening or at weekends I would bring my young daughter, Lauren, into work with me. One day, she was with me when I was doing a simulation of a mission to the moon. She liked to imitate me – playing astronaut. She started hitting keys and all of a sudden, the simulation started. Then she pressed other keys and the simulation crashed. She had selected a program which was supposed to be run prior to launch – when she was already “on the way” to the moon. The computer had so little space, it had wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought: my God – this could inadvertently happen in a real mission. I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at MIT and Nasa said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake. Midcourse on the very next mission – Apollo 8 – one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug! It created much havoc and required the mission to be reconfigured. After that, they let me put the program change in, all right.

Why do some neurons die in #neurodegeneration while closely related neighbors survive? This Essay by Dong Won Kim argues that disease resistance may depend on maintenance of a neuron's #cell identity and proposes tests of the model. 🧪 #AcademicSky plos.io/4y7cGbA
Reversible cell-state remodeling vs. identity-maintenance failure in adult neurons. An adult neuron with stable subtype identity (left) depends on continued operation of four interrelated regulatory components, shown in the inset legend: (1) identity transcription factors; (2) accessible identity enhancers; (3) coherent terminal effector gene modules; and (4) active repression of alternative gene programs belonging to other cell types. Under stress (metabolic, proteostatic, inflammatory, or pathological), the neuron can follow one of two trajectories. (A) In reversible cell-state remodeling, the neuron mounts adaptive responses such as the heat-shock response and the unfolded protein response (UPR), while identity transcription factor activity, enhancer accessibility, terminal effector modules, and repression of alternative programs remain intact. When the stress is removed, the neuron returns to its prior identity state. (B) In identity-maintenance failure, similar stress responses occur, but the regulatory machinery that stabilizes subtype identity itself weakens: identity transcription factor activity falls, identity enhancers lose accessibility, terminal effector modules decohere, and repression of alternative or neighboring-cell programs (orange) fails, allowing those programs to be expressed. After sustained disruption of this machinery, return to the prior identity state may be incomplete, delayed, or unstable even after the initiating stress is removed (broken recovery arrow), and degeneration may follow. The stress-response components are shown at comparable intensity in both panels to emphasize that the framework concerns identity-regulatory outcomes under matched stress exposure, not differences in stress response itself.

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Moral and perceptual decisions may share computational mechanisms, but do they rely on the same neural systems? This study shows that both follow similar evidence-accumulation computations, yet engage distinct neural representations. 🧪 #NeuroSky #morality #cognition plos.io/4AM2V57
Moral and perceptual task-relevant conflict are represented by distinct brain areas. The two right temporoparietal junction clusters (rpTPJ and raTPJ) identified in different analyses had no overlap.

Pathogenic bacteria in the larval #fly gut can 'prime' the adult gustatory system to recognize bacterial peptidoglycans, but how? This study identifies Uracil as the bacteria-derived cue and characterizes a larval #sensory pathway required for priming the adult. 🧪 #AcademicSky plos.io/4hK9T1R
Priming model: Larval exposure to bacteria is mandatory. (A) Graphical representation of the priming model: adults derived from larvae raised without bacterial cohabitation do not reject sucrose + PGN mixtures. In contrast, adults from larvae cohabiting with bacteria in conventional media are attracted to sucrose but reject sucrose + PGN, a response dependent on larval Gr66a+ neurons with functional TrpA1 and adult ppk23+ cells.
