The Radcliffe Wave discovery was made possible by #opendata champions and exploration missions including @ESAGaia. The authors have made the data and informaton accessible through a dedicated site:

The Radcliffe Wave is a gigantic structure that defines the shape of the Sun's local neighborhood in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Radcliffe Wave not only looks like a wave, but also moves like a...
At 9,000 light years long and 400 light years wide, the Radcliffe Wave is the largest gaseous structure ever observed in the Milky Way

Neal Baer wants med students to think beyond disease to the social determinants of health. "We can’t just wait for the patient to come in. We have to be advocates outside the clinic, to be storytellers through whatever conduit we’re comfortable with, whether that's TV or op eds."
In this podcast, award-winning producer and program co-director @NealBaer discusses how storytelling is central to being both a writer and a doctor

This study gives an incredibly detailed snapshot of the microbiome in people with IBD. That will help researchers figure out how things go wrong in the gut microbiome, and how we can be better stewards of our multitudinous lifelong companions.
Recent findings show how inflammatory bowel disease disrupts the microbiome

“When you take stem cells out of the body, you take them out of the very complex environment that nourishes and sustains them, and they kind of go into shock." Read how Amy Wagers and her colleagues got around that problem, editing stem cells right where they live.
The findings have major implications for biotechnology research and the development of therapeutics for genetic diseases

What does a memory look like as it forms? The answer may be within reach, thanks to research led by Harvard scientists @AdamEzraCohen and @YoavAdam.
For decades, scientists have been searching for a way to observe neurons firing in real time. Now, Harvard researchers Adam Cohen and Yoav Adam have done it with mice.

By Benjamin Boettner (BOSTON) – The human microbiome, the huge collection of microbes that live inside and on our body, profoundly affects human health and disease. The human gut flora in particular,...

“What we have here are two basic components of biology: one is the genetic code and the other is cells as the units of life. If you marry the two, it gives a power of manipulation and control that is truly unprecedented.” —HSCI’s Doug Melton
