The critical human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii exhibits light-regulated circadian rhythms - Communications Biology Gene expression studies in the critical pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii identified the existence of daily rhythms displaying a robust response to light, as well as endogenous circadian rhythms, synchronized by the BlsA photoreceptor.

Hello,

Excel files are kinda heavy for that much data.
Try to see if you can export as CSV (file separate by comma) or TXT. Maybe the limit is bigger.

In any case I use more PubMed, you can export up to 10.000 per file there in CSV for example.

Today, February 11, is the International Day of Girls and Women in Science.

*Congratulations to all Girls, Women and those who fight for representation and equality in Science!*

Will bird flu spark a human pandemic? Scientists say the risk is rising H5N1 is adapting to new mammal hosts, raising the possibility of the virus spreading between humans.

The risk of bird flu continues to rise as it spreads in herds &flock around the country. This is the absolute worst time for health communications the CDC to be muzzled. If we have another pandemic we will be even more vulnerable than the last time around. #h5n1
