at the end of the day, the vitamin A5/x pathway came up... I've started making a WikiPathways version of it: classic.wikipathways.org/index

claim in another presentation: "Get Rich or Die Trying".

Well, yes, I guess this is true, in a very dark way.

from this first presentation: patents and publication are compatible; file first, then publish.

one thing I don't get (and not that interested in the answer) is why literature is not riddled with conflict-of-interest statements: "this research has been patented by filing XXXX"?

Or is the very idea of patenting science simply not a serious activity?

after the coffee break we start with a session "from the bench to the market". Unfortunately, it starts with patents. I guess the tone is set :/

next talk is by Noemi Rotlian Vila (Spain) about P116 and its role in scavenging cholesterol. I am quite fascinating into the chemistry of and inside LDL, HDL, and the likes, and the various roles of the involved proteins. I hope slides will be uploaded, because love to sit down with them to study the story in more detail

we had a nice lunch (with an acceptable cheese table) after that and I chatted with Matt from about lipids, chemistry, and the likes.

(did someone say 🧀 lipids? academic.oup.com/nutritionrevi 👀)

the next talk was by Pierre Damien Denechaud (INSERM) about differences between white and brown adipose tissue and showing how lipids from these WAT/BATs and that their roles go beyond these tissue and are inter-organ players

we started the meeting this morning with a management meeting. and after coffee the conference started. The keynote was about about EpiLipidNET beyond 2024. This is one thing I like about Open Science projects: they are out there and won't disappear. Of course, maintenance is still needed, and for that the "beyond" remains important. However, and this is ESSENTIAL: the open license opens up greatly who the next maintainer will be: the Dr. Who Model of Open Science
