    Abstract Denialist scientists played an outsized role in shaping public opinion and determining public health policy during the recent COVID pandemic. From early on, amplification of researchers who denied the threat of COVID shaped public opinion and undermined public health policy. The forces that amplify denialists include (1) Motivated amplifiers seeking to protect their own interests by supporting denialist scientists, (2) Conventional media outlets giving disproportionate time to denialist opinions, (3) Promoters of controversy seeking to gain traction in an 'attention economy,' and (4) Social media creating information silos in which denialists can become the dominant voice. Denialist amplification poses an existential threat to science relevant to public policy. It is incumbent on the scientific community to create a forum to accurately capture the collective perspective of the scientific community related to public health policy that is open to dissenting voices but prevents artificial amplification of denialists.

    Abstract The unprecedented scale of the CovID-19 disaster will define public health failure for generations to come. Its causes include inadequate funding, hostility towards science in general and public health science in particular, a government culture steeped in deception and misinformation, and a disdain for collaboration for the greater good among the community of nations. The consequences have been devastating, but it is essential that the public health community uses its moment in the spotlight to promote the agenda of science-based policy, honesty and transparency in communication, and international cooperation to advance the common good of humanity.

  3. Article ; Online: Reactivity umpolung (reversal) of ligands in transition metal complexes.

    Abstract: ... The electronic influence of the metal and co-ligands is discussed in terms of the energy of (HOMO) d electrons ...

    Abstract The success and power of homogeneous catalysis derives in large part from the wide choice of transition metal ions and their ligands. This tutorial review introduces examples where the reactivity of a ligand is completely reversed (umpolung) from Lewis basic/nucleophilic to acidic/electrophilic or vice versa on changing the metal and co-ligands. Understanding this phenomenon will assist in the rational design of catalysts and the understanding of metalloenzyme mechanisms. Labelling a metal and ligand with Seebach donor and acceptor labels helps to identify whether a reaction involving the intermolecular attack on the ligand is displaying native reactivity or reactivity umpolung. This has been done for complexes of nitriles, carbonyls, isonitriles, dinitrogen, Fischer carbenes, alkenes, alkynes, hydrides, methyls, methylidenes and alkylidenes, silylenes, oxides, imides/nitrenes, alkylidynes, methylidynes, and nitrides. The electronic influence of the metal and co-ligands is discussed in terms of the energy of (HOMO) d electrons. The energy can be related to the p

    Abstract Background: Chondrosarcoma (CS) is the second most common surgically treated primary malignancy of the bone. The current study explored the effect of the margin and extraosseous tumor component in CS in the femur on local recurrence (LR), LR-free survival (LRFS), and disease-specific survival (DSS).
    Methods: Among 202 patients, 115 were in the proximal extremity of the femur, 4 in the corpus of the femur, and 83 in the distal extremity of femur; 105 patients had an extraosseous tumor component.
    Results: In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, factors significant for decreased LRFS were the extraosseous tumor component (
    Conclusions: In CS of the femur, the presence of an extraosseous tumor component has a predictive role in LRFS, and extraosseous tumor component arising from the superior aspect was significant for decreased LRFS. Wide margins were more commonly achieved when the tumor had only an intraosseous component, and the rate of LR was significantly higher in cases with an extraosseous tumor component. When the extraosseous component arose from the superior aspect of the femur, LR occurred more frequently despite achieving adequate margins.

    Abstract Cilia are exceptionally complicated subcellular structures involved in swimming and developmental signaling, including induction of left-right asymmetry in larval stages. We summarize the history of research on sea urchin embryonic cilia. The high salt method to isolate cilia is presented first; methods to block cilia formation and to lengthen cilia are presented in the appendix. Evidence suggests that regenerated cilia may not be as physiologically perfect as those formed normally during embryogenesis. Sea urchin embryonic cilia are valuable models for studying molecular details of cilia assembly and differentiation as well as gene activation, cell signaling, and pattern formation during development.
