In 21 papers across Science, @ScienceAdvances, and @ScienceTM, researchers with the #BICCN consortium present an atlas of the human and nonhuman primate brain in unprecedented detail. The results uncover the genetic organization of the human brain. https://t.co/K3ePBMRzli... See more

In the realm of biology, the cost of sequencing a human genome has plummeted by 99.997 percent.

Thus knowing the exact genome of Sars-Cov-2 enabled the scientists to model the structure of the entire virus—and most important, the spike proteins that stuck to its surface. They almost immediately realized that the novel coronavirus was a serious threat. Its spike proteins merged with a receptor found on the surface of many human cells. The rece

Funding is an especially acute pain point for scientists, who spend up to half their time writing grant proposals. Success in getting funding is heavily tied to metrics such as the h-index, which quantifies the impact of a scientist’s published work. The resulting pressure to “publish or perish” incentivizes the pursuit of novel research over work ... See more
