Buenas tardes y #FelizSábado! Hoy os voy a subir un hilo que considero, por el momento, uno de los más importantes, sino el que más.
Sí, amigxs: hoy vamos a hablar de mascotismo y primates. ¿Pueden ser los primates mascotas?
Y como siempre, con rigor científico 👇🐒 Image
Definamos el mascotismo antes de nada como la tenencia particular de fauna silvestre de una forma aparentemente domesticada, como si fueran animales de compañía.
En el caso de nuestros primates, suelen ser tratados como humanos y se les enseña a comportarse como niños. Image
¿Qué cosas lo refuerzan? Todas estas cosas que aquí os pongo y que iremos desglosando poco a poco. Image

Just published the first chapter of my PhD on remote fossil site detection using satellite images & #unsupervisedlearning in @GorongosaPark with my supervisors @paleobob @carvalhoprimate

It is #openaccess at peerj.com/articles/11573/

@primobevolab @oxford_anthro @PeerJLife 1/n
The paper starts by exploring the spatial and temporal gaps of the #primate & #hominid fossil record of Africa in the late #Miocene. @GorongosaPark in #Mozambique is shown to be a strategic location, with great potential to fill some major gaps in #paleoanthropology 2/n
We also discuss the difficulties of surveying for new paleontological localities, specially within modern forests/woodlands as in #Gorongosa, since dense vegetation cover reduces visibility (i.e. finding clues in topography and landscape). 3/n

Some talks I liked at #ASGCT20 today:
Sean Wang from Cepko lab applied SABER #FISH to (nature.com/articles/s4159…) #AAV genomes, tracking individual particles w high time res. I wonder if pH sensitive probes would allow imaging of intracellular trafficking...
Faith Conroy at #UMass targeting Htt with siRNAs, and used intentional mismatches to improve specificity for SNP gene product over WT.
Beautiful Outstanding Achievement talk by Mavis Agbandje-McKenna. Lots of #AAV structure, and work with @asokan_duke and others to map out functional #AAV surface host interactions. Also work on non-#primate #AAVs, which could evade human neutralizing antibodies.
