After, The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) captured this strip of stars and galaxies in the southern sky during one 30-minute period on Tuesday, Aug. 7. Created by combining the view from all four of its cameras, this is TESS’ “first light,” from the first observing sector that will be used for identifying planets around other stars. Elements are labeled in the collage.

Mount Sinai researchers have revealed the biological mechanisms by which a family of proteins known as histone deacetylases (HDACs) activate immune system cells linked to IBD. This discovery could potentially lead to the development of selective HDAC inhibitors designed to treat types of IBD such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

The act of intersecting the three science cultures (Scientific Transculturalism) comes with the opportunity for positive and negative combinations. SFI Professors Christopher Kempes and Geoffrey West identify and explain the three cultures, and suggest that reconnecting them could help accelerate biosphere science. The third—coarse-grained culture—focuses on generalities, simplifications, and underlying principles.
