"They've exploited precisely the same scandalous tactics as big tobacco decades before & they must not escape responsibility.”

“The #RoyalSociety report, called #Covid19: examining the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions, reviewed the evidence gathered during the pandemic for six groups of #NPIs and their effectiveness in reducing transmission.

These included #masks and face coverings, #SocialDistancing and #lockdowns, #test, #trace and #isolate, #TravelRestrictions and controls across international borders, environmental controls, and communications.” https://mastodon.social/@mackayim2022/110958561601925696

report published Thursday by the #RoyalSociety looked at findings from six evidence reviews that analyzed thousands of studies to assess the effect of #masks, #SocialDistancing and lockdowns, test trace and isolate systems, border controls, #EnvironmentalControls and communications. https://social.espeweb.net/objects/98be2761-b45b-4abf-a0df-0882d030c48f

On Carlton House Terrace in London, in a range of fine Georgian buildings, you’ll find the Royal Society, a fellowship of the world’s greatest scientists and the oldest extant scientific society. If you visit it—and I hope you will—you’ll see this large, heraldic stained glass window with the society’s inspiring and cautionary motto, “Nullius In Verba”. This roughly translates as “Take No One’s Word For It”—perfect for scientists and citizens too!

Art historians should also explore the new #RoyalSociety digital archive - there are hundreds of diagrams, drawings, watercolours, photographs and paintings, most of which were never published (and the ones that were published, were in B&W even if originals were colour).

For instance, this set of materials about Tenerife includes watercolours and stereoscopic photographs: https://makingscience.royalsociety.org/items/ms_626/tenerife-papers-of-charles-piazzi-smyth?page=10

#victodons #arthistory

Over 30,000 archival items associated with scientific papers presented to the #RoyalSociety (London) are now available on the new 'Science in the Making' archive, covering 1665-1949.
https://makingscience.royalsociety.org/

Includes original manuscripts submitted to the RS; correspondence; lots of #images (many never published, and in colour); and >14,000 #peerreview reports.

Essential browsing for historians of science, and not just science. (Search '#mozart'!)

I've been watching the #RoyalSociety meeting on stochastic processes in development and disease
It's amazing to watch the reinvention of the wheel. The theory was done in 70s and 80s!

See http://www.onemol.org.uk/?page_id=10 and, for more theoretical stuff, http://www.onemol.org.uk/?page_id=175

In July I will be heading to Edinburgh to start a #RoyalSociety #UniversityResearchFellowship based at the University of Edinburgh. My research will examine the behavioural ecology of endemic disease and host maintenance potential, with #SocialNetworks and #NetworkModeling of course involved! (1/4)

Talk done! #RoyalSociety didn’t give me much instruction so I just talked everything I like randomly (Lorentz violation, IceCube, HyperK, etc), with weird demo using DOM from #IceCube and IMB PMT from #SuperK #Neutrino

Reminder: Monday, 6 March starts the 2023 Human Genome Editing Summit in London. For those of us in the U.S. who care to get up in the wee hours, the summit will be available via Vimeo or Zoom (see website). I believe the video will continue to be available after the meeting as well but that's just my guess.

It appears that an #Australian #mammal called a northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) has a strange pattern of #male survival. Most spend so much time trying to #mate that the forgo #sleep (and appear to fall victim to predation or exhaustion) and do not survive their first mating season.

(PS: that's a pretty good online PDF display the RS has there. I like the live TOC)

Prima volta che lo sperma è stato osservato al microscopio. Il disgusto dello scienziato che scoprì come è fatto lo sperma. Gli esseri umani hanno da sempre una buona comprensione di come funziona il sesso e la riproduzione, da molto prima che fosse inventato il microscopio.
