Calvin Leonen is a Filipino-American postdoctoral scientist from the island of Guam. Calvin's research in the Funabiki lab centers around the question of self versus non-self recognition by an innate immunity sensor that binds to DNA. #AANHPIHeritageMonth
Last week, I gave an online seminar for Korean students at Chungnam National University on “How did Mendel arrive at his discoveries?” (https://lnkd.in/eTHWZ4zW). The Q&A session lasted over one hour, and the students asked many great questions.
Due to Mendel's posthumous recognition, primary historical sources are scarce, though some new documents have emerged recently. With Noel Ellis, I am working on a book Brill will publish next year: “Mendel's Genetics: Hybrids, Heredity and History.”
"when we talk about the lofty mind, is part of a complex organism made up of cooperative systems, made of cooperative organs, which are made up of cooperative cells, which are made up of cooperative molecules, which are made up of cooperative atoms.." and so on is a quote form Antonio Damasio's book: "The strange order of things". Extending this narrative, we believe it continues with cooperative humans. This is the heart of Adiem's mission.

For many of us, these are rare spontaneous occurrences that happen unexpectedly and punctuate an otherwise quite ‘normal’ existence. Nevertheless, they can have a profound impact on us, expressing something fundamental about what it is to be a living, conscious being. By publicly reflecting on spontaneous parapsychological experiences, researchers can perform an important social function in showing that they constitute a natural part of the normal range of healthy human experience. They can empower experiencers to reflect on and make sense of their own experiences, despite a cultural backdrop that regards them as foolish or even pathological. We can consider individuals who identify as ‘psychic’ or ‘mediumistic’ to see how they are able to come to terms with their experiences in psychologically healthy and socially functional ways…
In exploring these themes Chris Roe draws on compelling research conducted at the University of Northampton, some of which is still ongoing.
Interesting for those searching for meaning, studying the humanistic side of culture and psychology or who are just curious 🧐👀
Most ancient DNA studies have focused only on the last 50,000 years, but now new techniques can reach into the early Pleistocene. Read Beth Shaprio's review of what questions this will allow us to address in an Ancient DNA special issue of Science: https://lnkd.in/gibs2yJY
Ramayana is comprising of immunologic, environmental and genetic factors that cause and/or contribute to the secured foundation and continuum of cosmobiological existence of any given life form/species under threat - symbolically for example begins with Cronch bird. Foundation may be seen until now as past/historic but simultaneously continuum is hypothesised boldly as Uttara Kanda in Ramayana. In my realisation it’s eternal poiesis where it’s alike neutrino’s fusion in the past, present and future simultaneously. We are coming up with our research based awareness videos on general and special relativity to all that is inside outside - existence - One with Lord SiyaRam.
📃Scientific paper: The molecular architecture of a complex social behavior: gregarious song
Abstract:
The medial preoptic area (mPOA) regulates the probability and intensity of singing behavior in birds.
Polzin and colleagues examined the molecular changes in the mPOA that were associated with gregarious song in European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris).
High-throughput transcriptome analyses identified glutamate and dopamine pathways were highly enriched with gregarious song.

📚 "Publications are like the currency in science,“ says Friederike Kleinfercher 💱
In her recent talk at BlockSplit 5 in Croatia, "Exploring Decentralized Science", she addressed a critical issue by pointing out the problematic practice of double-paying for scientific publications!
🧠 Friederike's discussion on the potential of decentralized science to have a positive impact on the field is a must-see for anyone looking to understand the full scope of this challenge 💡
Don't miss out on her insightful presentation!

The Earth was formed about 4.6 billion years ago, and scientists estimate that life originated in its primordial oceans about 3.8 billion years ago. In a series of studies, researchers from Tokyo University of Science, led by Prof. Koji Tamura, shed light on the origin and evolution of life on Earth. They studied the aminoacylation of tRNA and delved into the origins of amino acid homochirality, tRNA, and the genetic code.
They also devised a model molecule for the ribosome and explored the origin of protein biosynthesis. The origins of aminoacylation of tRNA and peptide bond formation on the ribosome, fundamental reactions in all living organisms, are closely related to the vital meaning of life.

"🔬 Why Scientists Should Consider Using New My-Domains 🔬
Choosing the right domain extension is crucial for scientists to effectively showcase their research and establish their presence in the scientific community.
The domain extension .my holds special symbolic relevance due to its connection to the Greek letter "μ" (my), which is often used in scientific contexts...

Another great use case for #protein-RNA #XLMS using the CLIR-MS technique, in exploring the structural properties of protein-RNA condensates observed during #LLPS . Pleased to have played a role in this study - congratulations to the team! #structuralproteomics#proteomics
