Breaking Through: My Life in Science by Katalin Karik ó review – real-life lessons in chemistry
This vivid account of the Hungarian biochemist who endured decades of derision before pioneering Pfizer ’s Covid vaccine is a tribute to her tenacity and self-beliefIn May 2013, Katalin Karik ó turned up for work at her laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania and found her belongings piled in the hallway. “There were my binders, my posters, my boxes of test tubes,” she recalls. Nearby a lab technician was shoving things into a trash bin. “My things!” Karikó realised.Despite having worked at the tiny lab for years, the scientist – then in her 50s – was cast out, without notice, for failing to bring in ...

PALEONTOLOGY
Rare fossil reveals weird early tree
The earliest trees, from nearly 400 million years ago, are known mostly from fossils of their trunks; their leaves and canopy shapes have remained a mystery. A newly reported, 350-million-year-old tree found in Canada provides a vivid answer for one such primordial species: As if having a perpetual bad hair day,
a thick crown of spiky leaves stuck out perpendicularly from the trunk
. Scientists named the tree
Sanfordiacaulis densifolia
, after the owner of the New Brunswick quarry where they found five specimens. The fossils, amo...

After mass coral die-off, Florida scientists rethink plan to save ailing reefs
Four years ago, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) unveiled a $100 million coral moonshot. Over 2 decades, nearly half a million hand-reared coral colonies would be planted on seven ailing reefs in southern Florida, in a bid to revive them. Mission: Iconic Reefs represented “one of the largest ever investments in coral restoration,” Pat Montanio, then head of the agency’s habitat conservation program, said at the time.
Today, the project looks as ailing as the coral it was meant to save. A record-breaking underwater heat wave that swept the Caribbean and southern Florida in 2023 kil...

Influence of implant reference on the scanning accuracy of complete arch implant scans captured by using a photogrammetry system
ConclusionsImplant
reference impacted the accuracy of complete arch implant scans obtained
by using the photogrammetry system tested. However, a trueness ±precision linear discrepancy of 6 ±3 µm and an angular discrepancy of
0.01 ±0.01 degrees were measured among the groups tested; therefore, the
impact of the discrepancy measured should not be clinically
significant. Clinical ImplicationsThe
selection of the reference implant does not impact the accuracy of the
photogrammetry system tested; however, marking the implant placed on the
right and most posterior tooth location as the implant reference is...
