Spain Twitter - I have shopping mysteries that need solving - why is all milk sold at room temp? Hard boiled eggs sold at room temp that are good for 1 month? Also, dont people ever shop for food before 9 am?

Once again, The Weizmann Institute of Science ranked among the world’s top ten academic institutions alongside institutions such as Princeton, Harvard, Stanford and MIT by the 2024 Leiden Ranking of research quality >> bit.ly/2024-Leiden-Eng Leiden University

Here’s the real cost of clinical trials: Phase I ~$30M, Phase II ~$90M, Phase III >$250M, with the total cost (including failures) hitting $1.1B per drug. But sure, let’s keep pretending AI models focused on preclinical research (<15% cost) will save the day.

Our Preprint has been updated. If you want to know how the lncRNA LISRR interacts with the ribosomes to suppresses melanoma anti-tumour immunity, check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

These kind of discoveries remind us all why we fell in love with biology and decided to make it our profession

I've seen my fair share of Science Museums, but the level of science communication at Museu de la Ciència CosmoCaixa in Barcelona is the top I've seen so far (and NEMO Science Museum is the most fun one we've been to)

Turns out all Barcelona needed to score 7 goals in one game (for the first time in 6 years!) is a bit of support from this guy

Tel Aviv and Rehovot now. Hundreds of thousands of protesters demanding the government to seal the deal and release the hostages now. A full strike has been announced starting tomorrow, until they are released
