PAINTING BY KADIR NELSON

Portraying the world’s greatest discoveries: For the cover of National Geographic’s November issue, painter Kadir Nelson grouped together more than a third of the 100 discoveries in the magazine’s double-wide cover (pictured above). His idea was cinematic: Let your eyes meander past the Titanic, Stonehenge, Native American stone painting, King Tut, King Taharqa, and China’s terra-cotta figures. “It's like a film,” he tells us. “A film is a series of these moments strung together, and it's kind of like our memory—the way that we think of our past, this string of stories, string of moments.” Read the interview here; subscribers can read the cover story here. #Da: AMRIGS 70 anos no dia 27/10 O nascimento da entidade foi resultado, principalmente, dos esforços de dois médicos, presidentes, então, de duas sociedades médicas locais, que tinham o sonho de unir as sociedades de especialidades em uma única instituição para o aprimoramento da classe médica. Os médicos Paulo Queiróz Telles Tibiriçá, presidente da Sociedade de Medicina de Porto Alegre, e Bruno Attilio Marsiaj, presidente da Sociedade de Cirurgia do Rio Grande do Sul, percorreram Rio Grande do Sul, reunindo apoiadores para a fundação da Amrigs. A Associação Médica foi fundada oficialmente no dia 27 de outubro de 1951, durante a 1ª Jornada de Cirurgia promovida pela Sociedade de Cirurgia de Porto Alegre. O evento foi realizado na antiga Faculdade de Medicina de Porto Alegre, hoje Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Ufrgs), e contou com a presença de importantes figuras do Estado na área da saúde além de 76 delegados eleitos pelas 23 sociedades médicas existentes no Estado. #Do: Centro Histórico e Cultural da Santa Casa Hoje, dia 26,  foi o lançamento do tomo II  de Saude tem Histórias no qual tenho uma contribuição.

This ‘General Index’ is an effort to help scientists use software to search through and glean insights from published work even if they have no legal access to the underlying papers, says its creator Carl Malamud. Legal researcher Arul George Scaria says its release is a “major development for the wealth of information it has unlocked from those 107 million journal articles”.

Resource of the Month Smoke-Free Air A new brief highlighting Vital Strategies’ work fighting for smoke-free policies where they are most needed is now available. Smoke-free campaigns effectively exert pressure on people to not smoke in smoke-free areas and increase the number of people demanding that smokers obey smoke-free laws.

Philip Ball described other experiments testing the limits of quantum mechanics for Quanta in August. #From: Nature on COVID The search for people who never get COVID Scientists have launched a global hunt for people who are genetically resistant to infection with SARS-CoV-2. They hope that identifying the genes protecting these individuals could lead to the development of virus-blocking drugs that not only protect people from COVID-19, but also prevent them from passing on the infection. Nature | 6 min read Nature Immunology paper Antidepressant cuts COVID death risk A cheap, widely available drug cuts the risk of death from COVID-19 and the need for people with the disease to receive intensive medical care, according to clinical-trial results. Fluvoxamine is taken for conditions including depression and obsessive–compulsive disorder. But it is also known to dampen immune responses and temper tissue damage. Among trial participants who took the drug as directed in the early stages COVID-19, deaths fell by roughly 90% and the need for intensive care fell by roughly 65%. “A major victory for drug repurposing!” says medical researcher Vikas Sukhatme. “Fluvoxamine treatment should be adopted for those at high risk for deterioration who are not vaccinated or cannot receive monoclonal antibodies.” Nature | 4 min read #LXXX - ὀγδοήκοντα  - OCTOGINTA Ac.
