A science mega-programme is taking shape in the EU: what it means for researchers A new research commissioner will help to build the European Union’s next massive science scheme — with a renewed focus on innovation.

Planning for Framework Programme 10 is underway. Europe will need to be ambitious in the scale of it’s investment, broaden opportunities for industry and societal involvement in research, and importantly support the commercialization of successful research outcomes. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Teaching opportunities for PhDs dry up in university cash crisis Barely one in three postgraduate researchers now have opportunity to teach, finds Advance HE survey, with financial pressure on institutions likely to blame

Having an opportunity to teach and demonstrate is a fundamentally important part of the career development and education for a postgraduate researcher. I find it difficult to understand why these opportunities are so difficult for universities to provide

Microscale droplet assembly enables biocompatible multifunctional modular iontronics Hydrogel iontronic devices can emulate biological functions and communicate with living matter. But the fabrication of miniature, soft iontronic devices according to modular designs has not been achie...

Interesting article. Hydrogel ‘droplectronics’ as an interface between electronic devices and human cells and tissue, allowing controlled electrical stimulation, biosensing, even chemical release to change cell function. Lots of exciting medical device possibilities!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Doctors hail first breakthrough in asthma and COPD treatment in 50 years Results of trial of benralizumab injection could be ‘gamechanger’ for millions of people around the world

Exciting research targeting immune cells called eosinophils that can contribute directly to symptoms of some types of asthma and COPD was more effective than standard care for flares AND better quality of life. Hope this can be adopted 🧪

LLM will likely become a useful tool to recognize and accurately diagnose/classify tumors from image data. Makes me wonder about the potential of using retrospective data to learn’ how to recognize tumors at a very early stage such as from endoscopy data.

Fascinating. One end goal will be the development of an accurate digital twin of the human body. One that takes into consideration factors such as gender, age, and disease status. It will be transformative for developing advanced therapies and understanding the complexities of disease.

Reminder for scientist: don't use red+green LUTs. Make your images and videos colorblind friendly. Run them through one of many tools available to make them accessible 🧪 #microscopy
