Cancer research yields unexpected new way to produce nylon Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:51 AM PDT In their quest for a cancer cure, researchers made a serendipitous discovery -- a molecule necessary for cheaper and greener ways to produce nylon. The finding arose from an intriguing notion that some of the genetic and chemical changes in cancer tumors might be harnessed for beneficial uses.

Stratosphere targets deep sea to shape climate: North Atlantic 'Achilles heel' lets upper atmosphere affect the abyss Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:12 AM PDT A new study suggests something amazing: Periodic changes in winds high in the stratosphere influence the seas by striking a vulnerable "Achilles heel" in the North Atlantic and changing mile-deep ocean circulation patterns, which in turn affect Earth's climate.

Some deadly breast cancers share genetic features with ovarian tumors Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:51 AM PDT The most comprehensive analysis yet of breast cancer shows that one of the most deadly subtypes is genetically more similar to ovarian tumors than to other breast cancers. The findings suggest that most basal-like breast tumors and ovarian tumors have similar genetic origins and potentially could be treated with the same drugs.

Researchers solve puzzle of B-cell lymphoma development Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:51 AM PDT In germinal centers, immune cells learn to fight pathogens with high specificity. Researchers have now identified subpopulations of B cells at the germinal centers which express the proto-oncogene Myc (red). They showed that Myc is essential for the formation and maintenance of germinal centers. Their findings have implications for the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphomas.

Constraining world trade is unlikely to help the climate, study finds Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:50 AM PDT From rubber dinghies to television sets: the emissions of greenhouse gases in countries like China are to a significant extent caused by the production of goods that are exported to Germany or the United States. But this doesn't necessarily mean that Western countries have relocated their emission-intensive industries and hence escape regulation for climate protection, according to a new study.

Severe economic loss for European forest land expected by 2100 Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:18 AM PDT By 2100 the climate change is expected to reduce the economic value of forest land by 14 to 50 percent, which equates to a potential damage of several hundred billion Euros unless effective countermeasures are taken. This is the conclusion of the first pan-European study on the economic effects of climate change on forest land.

New chemistry technique reproduces nature's elusive complexity Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:18 AM PDT Scientists have shown how to synthesize in the laboratory an important set of natural compounds known as terpenes. The largest class of chemicals made by living organisms, terpenes are made within cells by some of the most complex chemical reactions found in biology.

Researchers develop editing toolkit for customizing zebrafish genomes Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:12 AM PDT An international team of scientists has developed a highly-efficient means of editing zebrafish genomes for research purposes, eliminating a bottleneck that has stymied biomedical scientists from using the fish as a model for human disease.

Stratosphere targets deep sea to shape climate: North Atlantic 'Achilles heel' lets upper atmosphere affect the abyss Posted: 23 Sep 2012 11:12 AM PDT A new study suggests something amazing: Periodic changes in winds high in the stratosphere influence the seas by striking a vulnerable "Achilles heel" in the North Atlantic and changing mile-deep ocean circulation patterns, which in turn affect Earth's climate.

The Cynical Girl: The Week Ahead

---

The Week Ahead Posted: 23 Sep 2012 03:45 AM PDT Happy Sunday, yo. If you ever wonder what my inbox looks like, I don’t have 6,000 messages in there; however, I do have messages from awesome men and women who are asking for genuine help related to their jobs. That’s why Lars and I started Career Hangout. I also have the strangest email messages from fans, readers and HR vendors. Overly emotional. Overly intimate. Some of the vendors are amateurs and want me to review technology. They think they have to find a witty hook to get my attention. The email message often goes something like this. “You’re a rockstar. I love your blog even though I hate cats.” Please stop yourself if you want to write an email message like that. First of all, no one asked you how you feel about cats. If you read my blog, you’d know that I don’t care about your opinion. Second of all, I read those messages and think — only serial killers and sex offenders hate animals. Normal people hate racism, sexism and bigotry. They hate intolerance and domestic violence. They hate Southern Rock. They don’t hate animals. Even if you dislike cats, which is a totally valid perspective, you probably don’t hate cats. You may prefer not to be around cats. That’s cool. I prefer not to be around HR vendors who try to sell me shitty technology. But if you hate another living creature, that makes you an awful human being who deserves to be shunned. So don’t send me those messages. Emma (who was tossed out of a car as a kitten by someone who hates cats) and I think you are fucked up and weird. This week I’ll be blogging about Syria, Libya and how we define terrorism. I will also blog about Aung San Suu Kyi, tax returns and Jimmy Kimmel. I might also write about Phobos, Deimos and the iPhone5. What’s up with you for this week?
