  1. The family of the #Ebola patient—including his children—faced a high risk of infection. With Ebola often deadly in young children, the #CharitéBerlin team decided to use a preventive treatment for the first time. In our second Paper spotlight, the researchers share what they learned:

  2. Die Familie des #Ebola-Patienten – inklusive seiner Kinder – hatte ein hohes Risiko, ebenfalls an Ebola zu erkranken. Aufgrund der hohen Sterblichkeit insbesondere für Kleinkinder entschied sich das behandelnde #CharitéBerlin-Team, ein Medikament erstmals vorbeugend einzusetzen. Die Erkenntnisse in unserem zweiten Paper spotlight:

  6. Have you ever employed #storytelling when writing your scientific paper? Sounds a bit fishy, but makes a lot of sense from a communications perspective.

    There are plenty of storytelling methods. Here, Richard Brutchey explains the "Story Spine" framework and applies it to #chemistry:

  7. 🧠 Researchers from the #NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence at #CharitéBerlin have discovered that it's our sense of smell, not taste, that controls feelings of fullness. When eating quickly, in a binge-like manner, the olfactory cortex is suppressed.

    Also: can't recommend enough to make a "List" here on mastodon that's just you. Not all my posts show up on my profile and I have no gd clue why.
    Not as helpful for older, since you can't search them, but great for "where tf did my toot 3 min ago go?"

  22. #Wissenschaft: Über 10.000 #Forschungsartikel wurden 2023 wegen #Fälschungen zurückgezogen, ein historischer Höchststand. "Paper Mills" stehen im Zentrum des Skandals, produzieren gefälschte Studien und untergraben das Vertrauen in die Forschung. Die größte Quelle dabei war der Verlag #Hindawi, ein Tochterunternehmen von #Wiley.

  31. Wilson Cycle Phase 3: Ocean Closing

    “I enjoy, and have always enjoyed, disturbing scientists.”

    ~ John Tuzo Wilson

    “From great oceans, giant mountains will form. This is the prediction of the third phase of the Wilson Cycle where we see the closure of the vast oceans like the Iapetus Ocean, and the formation of continent to continent collision mountains.”

    ~ Professor Dougal Jerrom, intro to Wilson Cycle Phase 3: Ocean Closing video linked below

    In the 24 minute video below (a great watch), we continue our travels with Professor Dougal Jerrom of Oslo University, to look at evidence of the closing of the former Iapetus Sea in the Caledonian of Norway. The video starts with a nice recap of the other videos.

    Whenever there is an ocean closure, geoscientists always look for ophiolite. Ophiolites in the geologic record provide evidence of subduction zone tectonics. We have already seen the pillow basalts, sheeted dikes (gabbros) and peridotites that form ocean crust in earlier videos in this series. An ophiolite is then a bit of oceanic crust that got swept up in the continental collisions and provides the first proof of an ocean closure.

    Next we learn about melange - the sediments that were scraped up during subduction, also known as an accretionary wedge. There are also remnants of the island arc formed during subdution all accreted between the bits of continental crustal blocks that eventually collided.

    Enjoy the video below where you see glimpses of the geology of the beautiful Norwegian Caledonian.

    Refer to this great labeled diagram of the Wilson Cycle for the components of the ocean closure and continent to continent collision and mountain building: c.im/@vickyveritas/10962851396
    Note: We will see the last steps of the Wilson Cycle, the continent to continent collision and the formation of giant mountain belts, and the great grand finale of this series. Stay tuned.

  38. We had some super cool demonstrations of optical rotation (the rotation of the plane of polarisation of linearly polarised light as it passes through a #chiral molecule). Here’s light twisting through sucrose and fructose! 🌀🌈 I’ll paste the tweet to avoid overloading #ScienceMastodon’s servers twitter.com/jesswade/status/15
