SEVP modifies temporary exemptions for nonimmigrant students taking online courses during fall 2020 semester
Due to COVID-19, SEVP instituted a temporary exemption regarding online courses for the spring and summer semesters. This policy permitted nonimmigrant students to take more online courses than
Developmental, cellular, and biochemical basis of transparency in the glasswing butterfly Greta oto
Numerous species of Lepidoptera have transparent wings, which often possess scales of altered morphology and reduced size, and the presence of membrane surface nanostructures that dramatically reduce reflection. Optical properties and...
Data show panic, disorganization dominate the study of Covid-19 drugs
A new STAT analysis shows the effort to study treatments has been marked by disorder and chaos, with huge financial resources wasted.
A guide to R — the pandemic’s misunderstood metric
What the reproduction number can and can’t tell us about managing COVID-19.
One U.K. trial is transforming COVID-19 treatment. Why haven’t others delivered more results?
Clinical study has been helped by a simple design, a centralized health care system, and lots of infections
250,000 COVID-19 tests have been processed at the Broad
On Friday, July 3, 2020, the Broad Institute Clinical Research Sequencing Lab processed its 250,000th COVID-19 test. Stacey Gabriel sent this note to the Broad community.

Science Heroes and Disillusion - Absolutely Maybe
“Never have heroes” – I’ve heard some version of that a lot in the last couple of months, from people being disillusioned…
There should never be heroes in science - UnHerd
Some scientists make their careers by criticising other’s research. But who watches the watchmen?
Coronavirus Brings American Decline Out in the Open
Without fixes for infrastructure, education, health care and government, the U.S. will resemble a developing nation in a few decades.
An Effector Index to Predict Causal Genes at GWAS Loci
Drug development and biological discovery require effective strategies to map existing genetic associations to causal genes. To approach this problem, we identified a set of positive control genes for 12 common diseases and traits that cause a...
Could a blood ‘observatory’ stop pandemics?
> Science's COVID-19 coverage is supported by the Pulitzer Center.
Michael Mina is out for blood—millions of samples, which a nascent effort dubbed the Global Immunological Observatory (GIO) would monitor for signs of pathogens spreading through...
A Global lmmunological Observatory to meet a time of pandemics
SARS-CoV-2 presents an unprecedented international challenge, but it will not be the last such threat. Here, we argue that the world needs to be much better prepared to rapidly detect, define and defeat future pandemics. We propose that a Global...

Single cell eQTL analysis identifies cell type-specific genetic control of gene expression in fibroblasts and reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells
The discovery that somatic cells can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) - cells that can be differentiated into any cell type of the three germ layers - has provided a foundation for in vitro human disease modelling, drug...
