The Power of Connection: Why Building Relationships Is the Key to Personal and Professional Success
Establishing deep meaningful genuine relationships with others is a vital aspect of personal and professional success. Numerous studies have found that social connections are essential for our overall well-being, both physical and mental. Despite this, people often tend to overlook its importance in their lives. There’s plenty of reasons behind it.
Firstly, the hectic nature of modern-day life may involve long working hours and various other responsibilities. Consequently, people fail to allocate adequate time to nurture their relationships with others.
Secondly, we’ve got spoiled by the simplicity of conne...

What Are The Benefits Of Blood Pressure Lowering Pills?
Conclusion
In conclusion, natural blood pressure lowering supplements are a safe and effective way to manage hypertension without the unpleasant side effects of prescription drugs.
They are made from natural ingredients and are believed to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
However, natural supplements cannot replace prescription drugs for dangerously high blood pressure, and consultation with a doctor is crucial before making any changes to your blood pressure management plan.
Combining natural supplements with a healthy lifestyle can provide a holistic approach to managing blood pressure.

Plastic Transistor Boosts Signals of Implantable Sensors
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a transistor that can boost the signal created by electrochemical sensors by 1000-fold. The breakthrough may enable the development of highly sensitive implantable sensors that can measure tiny changes in electrochemical signaling in the body. This could allow clinicians to monitor tissue responses in near real time, instead of running a blood sample on bulky and expensive lab equipment and getting the results hours or even days later. Such technology could be used to monitor wound healing, for example, allowing clinicians to closely observe signals that reveal healing ...

Career Conversations: Q & A With Polymer Chemist Frank Leibfarth
Credit: Courtesy of Dr. Frank Leibfarth.
“I love that you can change the molecular-level structure of a material, then pull it, bend it, or twist it and see firsthand how the molecular changes you introduced influence its stretchiness or bendiness,” says Frank Leibfarth Ph.D., an associate professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. In an interview, Dr. Leibfarth shares with us his scientific journey, his use of chemistry to tackle challenges in human health and sustainability, and his beliefs on what makes a career in science exciting.

A smelly boost for your mothing life
TL:DR – Recent research has demonstrated that adding the volatile organic compound amyl acetate to a scientific moth-trap can boost the number of moths attracted to the UV light by almost a third.
A social media discussion about UV light sources for scientific moth-trapping, the type of vanes on the trap, and the environment in which one traps brought up some interesting thoughts. Several moth-ers use double sources to give them a better chance of enticing numbers and diversity to their traps. Although moths have been shown almost always to simply opt for the most energetic (higher frequency, shorter wavelength) whe...

In Other Words: Not All Bases Are in the Ballpark
You might first think about sports when you hear the word base, but not all bases are on the baseball diamond. In chemistry, a base is a molecule that reacts with an acid, often by accepting a proton from the acid or from water. Baking soda and dish soap are common bases.

A Building Block for Life
Bases are found throughout biological systems and in many molecules critical to life. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic (“alkaline”) liquids, such as water or blood, are. Liquids with a pH less than 7 are acidic, while liquids with a pH greater than 7 are basic. Electrolytes, like sodium, ca...

ChemistGPT
There was lots of talk of ChatGPT apparently deciding to teach itself organic chemistry…now…ChatGPT is language model, it’s not really an artificial intelligence (AI) in the strict sense, all it really is is a sophisticated autocomplete that analyses your prompts and weighs up the most likely combination of words with which to reply. I wondered whether the only chemistry in all that hype was the chemistry between olfactory receptor and odourant molecules in bovine ordure. So, I set it a challenge, giving it the following prompt:
You are to act as an expert organic chemist. You need to devise a reaction sc...

When she started college, Anne Carpenter, Ph.D., never guessed she’d one day create software for analyzing images of cells that would help identify potential medicines and that thousands of researchers would use. She wasn’t planning to become a computational biologist, or even to focus on science at all, but she’s now an institute scientist and the senior director of the Imaging Platform at the Broad Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard in Cambridge.

Scientists Grow Electrodes Inside The Body
Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have developed a method whereby the body can ‘grow its own’ electrodes. The minimally invasive technique involves injecting a hydrogel that is laden with enzymes into target tissues. The enzymes interact with molecules that are present in the tissue to change the structure of the gel and allow it to become electrically conductive. The approach could facilitate a variety of advanced medical systems, from pacemakers to brain-computer interfaces. Excitingly, the technology avoids the need for invasive surgery or conventional stiff electrical components that are not well match...

Scientists who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) are underrepresented at all career stages, especially at the Ph.D. level. To address this, the Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (U-RISE) training program for undergraduates who are deaf and hard of hearing at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Rochester, New York, has committed to lifting barriers and increasing DHH representation in science.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 6th 2023
In this study, we develop a rFOXN1 fusion protein that contains the N-terminal of CCR9, FOXN1, and TAT. We show here that, when injected intravenously (i.v.) into aged mice, the rFOXN1 fusion protein can migrate into the thymus and enhance T cell generation in the thymus, resulting in increased number of peripheral T cells. Our results suggest that the rFOXN1 fusion protein has the potential to be used in preventing and treating T cell immunodeficiency in the older adult.
