We are happy to introduce you to Edgar Alberto Alcalá Orozco, one of our #PhD #researchers. His #scientific focus revolves around the development of enzymatic processes for the synthesis of activated sugars and human milk oligosaccharides.

If you want to read more about his experiences at the #IMPRS ProEng, have a look at our article:

Using a #LLM during the #writing process (#scientific) does not have to be a binary choice, but rather a writing assistant dialogue of sorts, to help bounce ideas, summarize relevant sources, and get real-time feedback on composition when conveying complex ideas in written form. Note given lack of content knowledge, part of the conversation is to layout the background information.

Looking at Doctors4COVIDEthics.org (d4ce.org). They released a book, about 200 pages, free to download as PDF, that discusses #COVID #mRNA #vaccines (#risk / #danger). They warn of use of mRNA vaccines in general, for any disease.

I have not yet found a reason to think this is in any way disingenuous. There are various resources, including the #pdf book, #video interviews.
You might want to have a look. It is quite accessible even if many #scientific details are discussed.

The judges, however, found some of the govt communications enjoined by the district court to be permissible, including those of fmr chief medical adviser to the president, Anthony #Fauci. They said the record did NOT show that Fauci communicated directly w/ the platforms & said his efforts to promote the govt’s #scientific & &policy views did NOT “run afoul of the #FirstAmendment.”

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange solutions require as much varied and relevant information as possible.

This story is of a daunting, dangerous, and unique #scientific effort to help determine just how dire our extremely dire situation may be.

Interesting #science finding — due to changes in the climate about 830,000 to 913,000 years ago, early human ancestors were reduced to about 1,280 breeding individuals and were at risk of extinction for about 117,000 years!

📢 In which sector do the highest-paid Dutch CEOs work 🤔? The banking industry? Tech industry? No, #scientific #publishers top the charts. There is little push-back from the academic community against ‘vender lock-in’ practices of scientific publishers. This needs to change!

The authoritarian government of #ElSalvador is not only violating human rights on a massive scale, it is also destroying highly vulnerable, protected nature areas.

A coastal #ecosystem will be completely destroyed to build a beach resort and apartment buildings. It is home to 22 species of mammals, 16 reptiles, 85 birds and 151 rare plants.

The project was approved by the government with no technical or #scientific oversight. The owner is family of a politician.

We published our open-access paper about damage mechanisms of air spring bellows and how to obtain a representative specimen design for cord-rubber composite materials.

The scripts for the simulation, including a Jupyter notebook which may be executed in Google Colab, is available on GitHub.

I would say that the the religious worldview - particularly in contrast to the #scientific worldview - is that religion is reductive; it attempts to simplify observations into a small handful of assumptions (which are then considered impolite to challenge, given that so much rests upon them).

Simply put, the religious impulse seeks to explain every problem as a manifestation of One Problem, which requires, then, only One Solution.

Some hints on the #scientific #publication I'm currently working on...

In the next few weeks, you will probably see a big announcement from #AviLoeb and his team from #Harvard about the proof of an #Alien #Life, following the on-going analysis of spheres found in the Pacific that would come from IM1, an #interstellar object.

The publication is not available, but given Avi's highly controversial reputation, I am expecting this result to be fake.

Avi is currently manipulating the #media, which is a mean of #scientific #imposture.

📢#OutNow in #OA: '#Seabirds in the #NorthEast #Atlantic: #ClimateChange Vulnerability and Potential #Conservation Actions' by Henry Häkkinen, Silviu Petrovan, Nigel G. Taylor, William J. Sutherland & Nathalie Pettorelli.

This book was produced by the #Zoological Society of London and the University of Cambridge.

'#Seabirds in the #NorthEast #Atlantic' collates information from the #scientific #literature, #nongovernmental organisations’ reports, #conservation practitioner input and online databases into a single volume, and provides a reference manual to assist conservation planning.

It is intended to be used by anyone who wishes to identify #climatechange threats to #seabirds; to compare threats between different areas of the #NorthEast #Atlantic; to start a quantitative climate change vulnerability assessment for a #local population; or to review options for #conservation action in response to #climatechange.
