Excited to share our latest paper from Ramette's lab about the novel #NASCarD technique to recover viral genomes from metagenomic samples using #ONT Adaptive Sampling. #viralgenomics #metagenomics #adaptivesampling #oxfordnanopore @CDC_NCEZID @unibern medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Personal care products such as lotion and perfume can repress the human oxidation field—a beneficial chemical microenvironment formed around the body’s surface that helps protect it from volatile organic compounds, according to a @ScienceAdvances study from last year.

A new popular initiative wants to ban #AnimalExperimentation. This would significantly weaken Switzerland 🇨🇭 as a centre of research. Furthermore, animal testing could be relocated to countries with much less stringent welfare rules. ➡️ sohub.io/mk1w

Flooding disaster unfolding right now in Central Europe. Why is it so bad? This thread takes a quick look at some of the key ingredients of this record-breaking storm.

For them, it is a pleasure to burn. We all know who we are dealing with. Russia is run by men who want to make it a norm – burning lives, destroying cities and villages, dividing people, and erasing national borders through war. There is no nation that can stop such war alone, unaided. World leaders’ engagement is needed. Does Russia want a dialogue? Ukraine has the world’s largest experience of lies from Russia during negotiations. And that’s exactly why global efforts are needed. The Global Peace Summit of the leaders whom Russia won’t be able to deceive. Together with Switzerland, we are preparing for such a Summit. It starts on June 15th. More than eighty countries confirmed their attendance. And we continue to work with leaders, inviting them to join the Summit. I am appealing to the leaders of the world who are still aside from the global efforts of the Global Peace Summit – to President Biden, the leader of the United States, and to President Xi, the leader of China. Please, show your leadership in advancing peace. Real peace, not just a pause between the strikes. The efforts of the global majority are the best guarantee that all commitments will be fulfilled. Please support the Peace Summit with your personal leadership and participation.

Cuando todos creíamos que el síntoma más claro de la paupérrima educación peruana era la cantidad de personas que no entienden lo que leen, Pedro Castillo nos arrastra a nuevas profundidades convirtiéndose en el primer peruano que no entiende lo que dice.

It was important to start my visit in Bucha. Because in Bucha our humanity was shattered. My message to Ukrainian people: Those responsible for the atrocities will be brought to justice. Your fight is our fight. I’m in Kyiv today to tell you that Europe is on your side.

Work is underway to identify all soldiers that are part of Unit 51460 of the 64th Motor Rifle Brigade from Khabarovsk (near Vladivostok). The unit allegedly played a leading role in the Bucha Massacre. Its commander is Omurbekov Azatbek Asanbekovich. Spread it far and wide!

To effectively protect 🇺🇦, the optimal solution would be Patriot systems from the 🇺🇲 or the cheaper, more mobile NASAMS systems from 🇳🇴. In addition, 🇺🇦 could also use more Soviet-era S-300 and BUK-M1 systems, which are also currently effective against the enemy. (16/16)

❌Myth: The US and @NATO are providing #Ukraine with needed weapons. Allies are doing everything possible, short of direct involvement in the war. ✅Truth: To date, our allies have not answered our call for air defense support (fighter jets and SAM). (11/16)
