I’ve found that a good way to make students take me seriously on the first day is to mention that I remember a time *before the internet*. Of course that’s not true given a precise interpretation of what the internet actually is. But I’m certainly old enough to remember PSA-like videos coaxing the casual newbie into the exciting, if intimidating, world of cyb... mais »

Periodic table
Battle for the periodic table In 2015, four new elements were added to the periodic table with great fanfare — nihonium (atomic number 113), moscovium (115), tennessine (117) and oganesson (118). But some researchers complain the announcement was premature: these superheavy elements are difficult to produce and incredibly short-lived, so verifying their discovery is tricky. Now, chemists and physicists are at odds over who should be the legitimate custodians of the periodic table. Nature | 8 min read
Med-diet
Mediterranean-diet paper rises again Grab your olive oil: a huge study about whether a Mediterranean diet helps to prevent heart disease has been republished. The *New England Journal of Medicine* is also correcting five other papers, one year after a controversial review suggested that many published clinical trials contain statistical errors. Anaesthesiologist John Carlisle used a computer program to find cases in which study volunteers might not have been as randomly assigned as was claimed. In the Mediterranean-diet paper, a re-analysis confirmed the original conclusion. Science... mais »
Microglia and Alzheimer's D.
Is “Friendly Fire” in the Brain Provoking Alzheimer's Disease?Scientists want to combat dementia and neurodegeneration by keeping the brain’s immune system from going rogueNeuroscientist Michael Heneka knows that radical ideas require convincing data. In 2010, very few colleagues shared his belief that the brain’s immune system has a crucial role in dementia. So in May of that year, when a batch of new results provided the strongest evidence he had yet seen for his theory, he wanted to be excited, but instead felt nervous. +++++++++++++++++++++ Even so, the idea has sparked the inter... mais »

Ildefonso Brenner – 13 de junho de 1862
Hoje, 13 de junho de 2018, aos 156 anos do nascimento de Ildefonso Brenner, meu avô materno, lembro que ele nasceu em Santa Maria filho primogênito do imigrante alemão Franz Karl Brenner e da santa-mariense Christiana Hoffmeister Brenner. O pai se fixara na cidade em 1859 com alfaiataria e casa comercial. Em sua Confirmação, em Ellweiler/Hunsrück, em 20.11.1845, Franz Karl recebera sua Bíblia, como era costume na confissão luterana. Na primeira folha em branco, ele registrou o nascimento dos filhos. No primeiro registro, ele escreveu: *Ildefons Antonio Brenner* * Geboren den ... mais »
Exosomes : Alzheimer
New Mechanism by Which Alzheimer’s Spreads Through the Brainby Neuroscience News According to researchers, exosomes can transport toxic aggregates of amyloid beta to new neurons in the brain. Read more of this post *The waste-management system of the cell appears to play an important role in the spread of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain. A new study has focused on small membrane-covered droplets known as “exosomes”. It was long believed that the main task of exosomes was to help the cell to get rid of waste products. In simple terms, they were thought of as the cell’s rubbish bags.... mais »
