Background: Medical students and doctors are rarely taught how to be educators, but are expected to perform the role of clinical teacher once qualified (Kloek AT, Van Zijl ACM, ten Cate OTJ, Perspect Med Educ. 5:325-331, 2016). Qureshi (Perspect Med Edu 3:69-72, 2014) suggests that development of teaching skills should be incorporated into the undergraduate medical curriculum, while Charnell et al.

Article Synopsis
  • The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) Neolithic communities were pioneers in spreading agriculture across Europe and this study showcases genetic data from 250 individuals to understand their ancestry.
  • The findings reveal a notable difference in ancestry, with eastern LBK sites having a higher percentage of western hunter-gatherer genetics compared to western sites, indicating separate genetic paths for these groups.
  • Additionally, the research suggests a patrilocal social structure, featuring more genetic connections among males within sites, and points out that the massacre at Asparn-Schletz likely involved individuals from a large population rather than a small community.

Island radiations, such as those of the Australo-Pacific, offer unique insight into diversification, extinction, and early speciation processes. Yet, their speciation and colonization histories are often obscured by conflicting genomic signals from incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) or hybridization. Here, we integrated mitogenomes and genome-wide SNPs to unravel the evolutionary history of one of the world's most geographically widespread island radiations.

Introduction: Aspiration pneumonia (AP) is an infection of the lungs caused by inhalation of material. The reported incidences vary across literature and clinical populations and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Management of AP is best carried out by a multidisciplinary team.

Museum genomics provide an opportunity to investigate population demographics of extinct species, especially valuable when research prior to extinction was minimal. The Bachman's warbler (Vermivora bachmanii) is hypothesized to have gone extinct due to loss of its specialized habitat. However, little is known about other potential contributing factors such as natural rarity or changes to connectivity following habitat fragmentation.
