By: John Easton, SFU StudentIf there’s one thing the manosphere has managed to do with stunning efficiency, it’s strip sex of its joy, intimacy, and social complexity. According to the worldview, sex is nothing more than a transactional function of evolutionary biology, the linchpin of a so-called “” where men and women exist in rigid, pseudo-economic roles. Women, they argue, seek out “Alpha men” for genetic superiority while cruelly exploiting “Beta men” for financial security.

AbstractSpatial transcriptomics (ST) has advanced our understanding of tissue regionalization by enabling the visualization of gene expression within whole-tissue sections, but current approaches remain plagued by the challenge of achieving single-cell resolution without sacrificing whole-genome coverage.

We estimate the longer-run effects of attending an effective high school (one that improves a combination of test scores, survey measures of socioemotional development, and behaviors in ninth grade) for students who are more versus less educationally advantaged. All students benefit from attending effective schools, but the least advantaged students experience larger improvements in high school graduation, college going, and school-based arrests.

AbstractCombination chemotherapy is crucial for successfully treating cancer. However, the enormous number of possible drug combinations means discovering safe and effective combinations remains a significant challenge. To improve this process, we conduct large-scale targeted CRISPR knockout screens in drug-treated cells, creating a genetic map of druggable genes that sensitize cells to commonly used chemotherapeutics.
