Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment
Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t

Huge amount of papers were uploaded in the past two hours, and our servers are feeling it, so we’ve temporarily reinstated a waitlist. We’ll gradually let everyone in, don’t worry. Thank you for the incredible enthusiasm and support!

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars
Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

Allergen-induced airway matrix remodeling in mice can be prevented or reversed by targeting chitinase-like proteins
Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.

Important story dissecting the mechanism of gut cell extrusion using organoids. Local heterogeneity of tension promotes live extrusion and basal relaxation is sufficient to kick the cell out. Nice combination of optogenetics and live imaging to demonstrate this
