"A grand challenge is hard to define, but we know one when we see one." We're thrilled to announce the incoming Chair of the #CancerGrandChallenges Scientific Committee, Charles Swanton! Read his reflections on what a grand challenge is, the growth of the Scientific Committee and more in our latest article 👉 https://lnkd.in/eG2hZZTk

Her insights into the instability of genes and their location on chromosomes still hasn‘t been digested by the community. There isn‘t a single human genome. We each have a unique set including millions of mutations, deletions, rearrangements and duplications. These are the dominant source of human variation which far surpass any acretion of novel mutations during our lifetime, e.g. from cosmic radiation, fall-out or mechanical stress. The increase of defect genes in sperm of older men is, however, statistically significant. Still: avoid UV in sunlight and use UV-blockers! (melanoma)

The 'Higgs Field' has been known as the "Aether", ether, since 1865 when James Clerk Maxwell explained the Ether is what carries electro-magnetic waves of Kinetic Energy. The Higgs Boson was a proposal related to 'Massive' particles first forming after the "Big Bang" and then 'picking up the Higgs Boson' so the particles would become "Massive". The idea was not really related to the Higgs field at the time. Clearly the Ether exists... but is it the 'Higgs field' that allows for the transmission of Electro-Magnetic energy in tiny packets known now as Photons as Maxwell discovered? "Mass'Querade" needs no Higgs Boson to explain that the Ether can act as a medium to transmit waves like air or water and Energy equal to the 'mass' of particles replaces the Higgs Boson . Ether can be condensed in the direction of the center of 'Gravitational Objects' while leaving the far reaches of the field of Ether slightly stretched forming a Gravitational Field around all "Massive" objects. At the subatomic level, "Massless Blackholes" form inside every particle as densified 'Points of Gravity' (No Higgs) around which Photons can lock into orbits the size of the particles being formed. massquerade.com Click for "The Movie".

Have you ever been curious about how news segments are broadcasted seamlessly? Are you interested in events of the past and wondered what the masses thought at that time? If the answer to any one of these is yes, we have you covered. Come join us at NSUTthon and participate in History Headliners! Participants will choose certain historical events and will have to report them using their wit and humor. The ones with the most out-of-the-box thinking will take home the win.

ASBMB's annual meeting can be a profound learning experience for scientists at all career stages! 📽️Dave Pagliarini shares how he & Donita Brady selected themes for the symposia. ➡Learn more about the stellar science coming to Chicago in April: https://lnkd.in/e6Evhzmq.

(Spoiler alert: Megalodon mentioned 🗣️ ) The latest #InsideTheFSBI video, featuring recently viva-ed Dr Jack Cooper! Based at Swansea University in the Pimiento Group, Jack tells us all about his research into shark functional diversity and how it has changed through time. Such insights give us a deeper understanding of our current diversity and can inform conservation decisions! https://lnkd.in/ek6USAy3
