February 11 is the International Day of Women & Girls in Science! 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of this important @unesco day to build a future for women in science.

Join and follow us as we will tell the stories and share interviews with female #maxplanck researchers and their work.

Affected by #NIH and #NFS funding cuts and considering a move abroad? I haven't advertised this yet, but I have fresh funding for 2 senior #postdoc positions in #oxford. If you're into #Cancer #genomics and #epigenetics then get in touch.

@SheDrivesMobility danke für die mutigen Worte. Ich habe einmal #HeribertPrantl geschrieben, dass sich Geschichte wiederholt. ER meinte damals: NEIN. Leider sehe ich den Faschismus weltweit wieder hervor kommen. Wie der #Faschismus seinen Weg nehmen kann, dazu habe ich mir Gedanken gemacht und bin zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, [These] dass wir wohl vielfach traumatisierte Wesen sind und das sich diese "Neurotisierung" eben auswirkt. siehe #Janov #epigenetics https://cigognenews.blogspot.com/2016/04/what-happens-when-you-cant-feel-how.html

Hello! Hey Fediverse, once again. We are the Max Planck Institute of #Immunobiology and #Epigenetics. And we had to change our server.

Our community seems not really into this platform. Yet, we still believe that embracing open science with mastodon is important. For the time being, we investigate what to do with this account in the future and we will continue to cross-post our content.

Stay with us: https://www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de

Racism/discrimination lead to faster aging thru brain network changes

Racial Discrimination, Neural Connectivity, & Epigenetic Aging Among Black Women
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2819960

* racial discrimination assoc. w. greater connectivity in p/w involved w. rumination
* incr. vulnerability to stress-related disorders/neurodegenerative disease
* epigenetic ageing

This is eight years old, and it is still behavioral economics going biopolitical by accounting. If you don't know Google's "selfish ledger" yet, watch this video for a bit of Lamarckian "be evil" big data fantasies.

What percentage or fraction of a percentage of mental health disorders, globally, are currently diagnosed do you think?

Please comment to clarify your position or dispute the scale offered in the survey.

Unofficial but informative research into cultural epigenetics.

Since we've had a host switch, and that Haley isn't around to claim this account is mostly hers, we should do another #introduction - Updated: 2024-04-23

We're The Weather System (Athena's Realm System), We're Trans fem, and we're an officially diagnosed autistic, bipolar and dissociative identity disorder system, we a collection of various leftist, and believe strongly in queer, and neurodiversity rights movements, we view plurality in general as neurodivergence

Our pronouns are Su/Sudo/Suselves, however She/Her/Herselves, and They/Them/Theirselves is acceptable

We believe all plural systems are valid, and self dx is also valid, we were lucky to be able to get diagnosed.

giving this is a complete rewritten introduction we might update it as we go

We are most likely to toot about #Medicine, with focus on #Genetics, #Epigenetics, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience giving our focus back in uni was Genetics of Human Disease, and Neuroscience but we are likely to talk about a whole range of medical topics, besides medicine we are likely to toot about #meteorology and #geology, with specific interests in #SynopticMeteorology #TropicalCyclones / #Hurricanes / #Typhoons / #TropicalStorms, #ExtratropicalCyclones, #SubtropicalCyclones, and #Tornadoes, among other topic, and we may toot about #Geology, #Minerals, and #Vulcanology, and what ever else is on our mind, we collected #MyLittlePony and are a fan of every generation of MLP, and play #EliteDangerous

Host of the System: Athena Typhoon [Typhie], Proxy text - Typhie - Storm Alicorn Pony
Cohost of the System: Rachel, Proxy text - Rachel - Hellhound
Current Frequent Fronters: Maple, Star Catcher, Zoey; System Membership 58+

Our system name is subject to change, it was previously the Athena's Realm System, however only one member, arguably two members made that decision on behalf of the entire system, without consulting us, so we're in the process of trying out system names to see which fits us best, but for the time being we will display both "Athena's Realm" and the current trialing system name so it is less confusing for those who know us by our old system name

For weekend readers, a post on the #visual construction of #epigenetics through the lens of 'transgenerational epigenetic inheritance' https://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/makingsciencepublic/2024/02/23/making-epigenetics-familiar-the-visual-construction-of-transgenerational-epigenetic-inheritance-in-the-news/

My last post ever on #epigenetics, this time on its #visual construction https://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/makingsciencepublic/2024/02/23/making-epigenetics-familiar-the-visual-construction-of-transgenerational-epigenetic-inheritance-in-the-news/

Histone Serotonylation is one of the crazier epigenetic modifications - #Serotonin, the neurotransmitter, is shuttled into the nucleus and coupled to specific glutamine residues on the histone tails.

This happens not only in the brain, but apparently also in the placenta, this new paper shows:

Serotonin transporter-dependent histone serotonylation in placenta contributes to the neurodevelopmental transcriptome
