New study gave $7,500 to 50 unhoused people.

Guess what?

"They did not spend more money on alcohol or drugs, contrary to what people believe, and instead they spent the money on rent, food, housing, transit, furniture, a used car, clothes. It's entirely the opposite of what people think they're going to do with the money."

Congrats to my UBC colleague Jiaying Zhao on this study.

This is neat!
A paper in @eLife from Anne-Catherine Prats lab (U Toulouse) looking at regulation.
They show that with IRES in interactes with NEAT1 in nuclear paraspeckles, and suggest an assembly of an "IRESome" -with paraspeckle-related proteins - that regulates IRES-dependent translation (here - upon hypoxia).
