I just wanted to share a strange exploration of science funding I've started. (It's an exploration, no guarantee to find something). The 1000 Beer Genomes. www.facebook.com/BeerDeCoded Alex Hantson from BeOpen Lab is helping me. He loves Belgian beers. Let face it, we all love research but there is more demand than funding. The result is talented...

This site is entering a metamorphosis stage. An AGATA stage. For more normal conversations, you can continue reach me on twitter and medium. Thanks for the great time we had together. Cheers, Gianpaolo.

Finish that PhD - the Wolf of Wall Street way «Listen, myself, as much as you'd like to, nobody can get on the bench and finish that PhD for you. Only you can pick up some more tubes and take action. Without action, the best intentions in the world are nothing more than that: intentions. Now, look down at the little blue tool right in front of you....

This is something you may have noticed on your grandmother skin: during aging, the ability of the skin to self-repair diminishes. What you might not know, is that a key hormone in reproduction - estrogen (17β-estradiol) - is also important for wound healing: in fact, there is strong association between menopause and reduced wound healing capabilities,...

Dear Dr. ReporterGene, what is going on? Why scientists are taking our dogs, rabbits, pigs, fishes and now even cats and after some buzz manipulations, they transform a cute pet into scary fluorescent beast? What is the point in making the cat to glow? A: If a laboratory animal glows, it is proof that a genetic manipulation has been done. Our genome...

I'm going to the EMBO conference on Nuclear Receptors. Last time I went - four years ago - my wife was pregnant and in the middle of the last talk phoned me because of the labor contractions. My house was 100 km long away, and I come back in time. Now, my wife is once again pregnant and tomorrow I'm taking the flight. Delivery is expected on February....

The opportunity to switch to electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) had been discussed for 2 or perhaps 3 decades without any concrete change. However, the recent boom for tablets, ipads and the new amazon fire costing less than one pipette, is pushing toward a ELN resurrence. We will have ELNs in the lab soon? In the last months, I gave my advisory counseling...

I should say thanks to Nick for having posted yesterday some pictures of Sigma-Aldrich packaging madness. Packaging has a cost and an effect on environment, however, as Nick correctly points, some chemicals shipped by Sigma are dangerous and this might justify some excessive packaging. This morning I received some chemically-inert stainless steel beads...

The 2010 has been the year of Venter's synthetic genome. What about 2011, new developments at the horizon? Synthetic physiology. One goal of synthetic physiology would be to integrate a new genetic function into mammalian cells, i.e., a circuit that can detect a diseased state and then trigger a therapeutic appropriate response. Two studies are pursuing...
