Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13. Vaccines are incredible.
In a large Scottish study, no cases of cervical cancer were found among women who received HPV vaccines before they turned 14.
An analogy I like for “did climate change cause this hurricane?” Barry Bonds was a good baseball player who hit home runs before. Then he took steroids and hit a lot more home runs. You can’t blame steroids for any individual home run, but you can say there are more and stronger home runs after. 🧪

Check out our new dataset on SPARC.science from @UEnzastiga ATAC-seq work on human DRG sparc.science/datasets/409... Some awesome data done using @AtlasXomics tech We hope the paper describing this dataset will also be published soon!!

Maybe we wouldn't have annual falsified western blot claims if we build an environment where junior staff aren't reprimanded for 'failed' experiments and tenure isn't made exclusively by name brand publications
An excellent study by Michael Lacagnina et al. looking at B cells in neuropathic pain. Happy to have played a tiny role in helping this story come together 🧪🧬🖥️ #PainResearchwww.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Nerve injury promotes IgG secretion from B cells, activating Fc gamma receptors in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord, leading to pain in mice.
The wound microbiota: microbial mechanisms of impaired wound healing and infection (Good review paper from April) www.nature.com/articles/s41...)
In this Review, Uberoi, McCready-Vangi and Grice explore the diversity of microorganisms present in wounds and examine the mechanisms through which they invade skin tissues, impair skin repair and cau...
Nice! Why assume that there is one right way to taxonomize cell types any more than there is one correct species concept? This article alights on the metaphor of a cell “atlas.” An atlas can show topography, political boundaries, population. What taxonomies are useful for what? 🌱🐋🦋🦫🧪 #PhilSci
Scientists have more information than ever on how cells differ — but they still resist easy grouping. Scientists have more information than ever on how cells differ — but they still resist easy groupi...
Science artists and art-adjacent folks! There's a workshop series for science visualization that might align with your interests, taught by entomologist and artist Barrett Klein. Next session (two of six) is Thurs Sept 26: "How to Avoid Lying When Using Visuals," it's online and also free! 🧪🎨
No art experience necessary!
