James Briscoe@jamesbriscoe.bsky.social · 2mo agoAs Editor of @dev-journal.bsky.social I get asked "What are you doing about your impact factor?" In our new editorial we say: Ask not what Dev can do for the impact factor. Ask what you can do for Dev's IF The IF is about how we all cite, review & assess each other's work doi.org/10.1242/dev....
Going through my old records and came up with this. Its a gem.

Why not just do both? Most 'green space' is grass fields for cows, which means methane farts plus CO2, methane and nitrous oxide greenhouse gas emissions from fertiliser. End animal farming and cover some fields in solar farms instead.
The Guardian@theguardian.com · last mo.Why put solar panels on green space when we could put them over car parks?
looks very useful

Finally out in @Cellcellpress! Proteins with long IDRs are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis. This is prevented by mRNA 3′UTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
mRNA 3′ UTRs chaperone intrinsically disordered regions to control protein activity
Highly conserved mRNA 3′ UTRs act as co-translational chaperones for intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), preventing inter-domain misfolding and enabling biogenesis of fully active proteins.

What were the death tolls from pandemics in history? How many deaths were caused by different pandemics, and how have researchers estimated their death tolls? -by Saloni Dattani (12/7/2023 Our World In Data) Highly Informative article. Stunning data presentation. Follow @scientificdiscovery.dev
Saloni@scientificdiscovery.dev · 2y agoThese estimates make COVID-19 one of the deadliest pandemics of the last century, along with the 1918 “Spanish flu” pandemic and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. I have written a related article about this:
Last night, I got to sit 5 rows away from a true force of nature, a woman who is the very definition of badass. Her performance was a benefit for the Centrum Arts organization. A force of nature, a badass, and a heart as big as all of us. Thank you, Ms. Raitt!

Poly-ubiquitylated proteins proved trickier to purify for LC-MS than expected. Non-specific background swamped isolations: with histones and uncertainty! This led us to develop Ubi-SCAPE—for characterising the poly-ubiquitylome to unprecedented purity and depth. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Agree with this, Quality Journals can help here by publishing more theory and acting as conduit for discussion.

Auschwitz Memorial@auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 6mo agoAuschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
