VPA exposure also neutralizes the asymmetric expression of kctd12.1/leftover, a gene involved in the lateralized development of the epithalamus. Additionally, morphometric analysis suggests the "symmetrization" of the dorsolateral habenular nucleus in animals exposed to VPA. 6/7
Our study opens new perspectives to study the effect of VPA on social development. It also offers a new tool to investigate brain lateralization and its link to ASD in a zebrafish model. 7/7
Women researchers are cited less than men. Here’s why—and what can be done about it
Two studies of citations in physics highlight factors contributing to this gender disparity. #WomenInScienceDay#WomeninSTEMbrnw.ch/21wGSio
To all the women who have been told that they are:
too loud,
too emotional,
too ambitious,
too difficult,
too bossy,
too much,
Stereotypes have held us back for far too long.

As well as being a source of support, our various systems for evaluating grants are frequently a source of despair. Martin Dresler @FensKavliNet has a brilliant analysis with ideas for change onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Let us challenge stereotypes!
Let us benefit from diversity!
Let us push the boundaries of innovation!
Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

New! We show an unexpected parallel between endogenous and environmentally-driven asymmetries: "Light-induced asymmetries in the embryonic retina are mediated by the vascular system and extracellular matrix" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n

Servono altre prove che in tv gli scienziati NON devono dare la loro opinione ma limitarsi a ciò che è stato scientificamente dimostrato? Che ti chiami Viola o Crisanti o Zangrillo: la tua opinione dovrebbe contare ZERO. Io non dormirei la notte a dare consigli su seconde dosi.
BREAKING NEWS:
The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”
