I once heard a writer say that they write compulsively, as if the words they need to say are creative demons waiting to be exorcised. Nothing else has rung truer.

Speaking about the study with @liuswrites.bsky.social for The Scientist, co-author Kim Wever expressed alarm that "specific drugs or therapies that looked promising were reported "only once and never again." www.the-scientist.com/40-percent-o...

40 Percent of Stroke Animal Studies May Have Problematic Images
Red flags during a literature review led to the discovery of over 200 papers on animal models of stroke with duplicated images, which is likely an underestimate.

“E-cigarette juice can have a nicotine concentration as high as 150 millimolar ... And we saw that (lung) toxicity occurs at micromolar levels (1000 times less). It’s just off the scale.” —Jay L. Zweier of the Ohio State University www.asbmb.org/asbmb-.... #ASBMBJournals #asbmbJBC

E-cigarettes drive irreversible lung damage via free radicals
E-cigarettes are often thought to be safer because they lack many of the carcinogens found in tobacco cigarettes. However, scientists recently found that exposure to e-cigarette vapor can cause severe, irreversible lung damage.

Inside JBC: An international group of researchers found that nicotine exposure through the use of e-cigarettes, colloquially known as vaping, led to lung injury in mice. The researchers showed that aldehyde oxidase (AOX) mediates this effect. More from @liuswrites.bsky.social: ow.ly/YnS350VEXV6.

I find beauty in telling stories about giants
Andrea Lius wished she could find a focus for her scientific research — until she realized that what she really liked was talking to other scientists about the focus of their work.
