For the first time, Nature family journals set their open access price, and it is around £9000. No, that's not a typo. Science is increasingly just a capitalist endeavour, where irrespective of your ideas, only those who get all the money can succeed.
Radical overhaul of research funding proposed by Dutch Academy of Sciences: Give EVERY new Assistant Prof €250K working capital, and €375K when promoted to Associate Prof, and €500K when promoted to full Prof. No proposals. Use money for research as you see fit

Most of the cell are unhappy, but some are very much alive in 100%. In 90%? Totally happy.
Will do live/dead staining tomorrow so they'll have had a full 48 hours.

eLife buys big into a "publish, then review" model of publishing:
"From July 2021 eLife will only review manuscripts already published as preprints, and will focus its editorial process on producing public reviews to be posted alongside the preprints."
Henrietta Lacks died 4 October 1951. The cancer that killed her went on to become the darling of cell science. It continues to live in labs around the world

I'm glad to share my work uploaded on bioRxiv, describing a novel luminescence assay to assess cargo delivery efficiency/mechanism of extracellular vesicles.
The video shows the "live-cell luminescence imaging" of cargo delivery by EVs (EVs are modified with fusion protein).
KOD oneが意外と評判悪くてびっくり。こちらのラボに来てQ5使うようになってからクローニング用のPCRでうまくい���ない事が多発したので、わざわざKOD One取り寄せてからは全く問題無くなりました。産物をクローニングに使うならサイクル数を20くらいに抑えておくと増幅エラーの確率も下がると思います
