New CSIRO report doubles down on nuclear price and time frames After heavy criticism, Australia's leading science agency doubles down its findings that the cost of nuclear power for Australia would likely be double that of renewable energy, and it would take at l...

Anyone listening in the EU? CSIRO calculates that the nuclear turn costs much more than renewable energy.

The best advice. I had a prized hardcover that I loaned out to my best friend after a single read. It was pristine when lent out...and returned 2 weeks later in 2 pieces (a battered hard cover and a clump of damaged pages).

Computational technologies of the Human Cell Atlas As the international effort reaches a ‘critical mass’ of achievements, Nature highlights seven tools that are poised to enable the next set of discoveries.

This week, Nature Portfolio published a series of research papers from the Human Cell Atlas initiative. Nature profiles some of the key technologies that made them possible. 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows the consistent global links between coffee consumption and the human gut microbiome.

Coffee consumption is associated with the presence and abundance of a specific member of the human gut microbiome, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, and changes to the plasma metabolome, according to a paper in Nature Microbiology. https://go.nature.com/3CIl4as 🧪

Cellular atlases are unlocking the mysteries of the human body Scientists reflect on insights from the Human Cell Atlas.

The Human Cell Atlas is yielding detailed maps of human tissues and systems throughout life, along with methods to handle single-cell data. Four scientists reflect in Nature on how the project is transforming our understanding of human biology. 🧪
