The human body at cellular resolution: the NIH Human Biomolecular Atlas Program

Abstract: Transformative technologies are enabling the construction of three-dimensional maps of tissues with unprecedented spatial and molecular resolution. Over the next seven years, the NIH Common Fund Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) intends to develop a widely accessible framework for comprehensively mapping the human body at single-cell resolution by supporting technology development, data acquisition, and detailed spatial mapping. HuBMAP will integrate its efforts with other funding agencies, programs, consortia, and the biomedical research community at large towards the shared vision of a comprehensive, accessible three-dimensional molecular and cellular atlas of the human body, in health and under various disease conditions

Trends in the Tenure Status of Farm Workers in the United States Since 1880

Excerpts from the Preface: The primary purpose of this publication is an analysis of the operation of the so-called agricultural ladder. The method of analysis was suggested by an article published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics for May 1937, by John D. Black and R. W. Allen, entitled, "The Growth of Farm Tenancy in the United States." The authors said the purpose of their article was "to explore the evolution of the existing farm tenure situation in the United States, in general and to some extent regional, and discover its meaning and its significance for the present." The purpose of this report can be said to be the same as that of the article by Black and Allen but because the data so clearly reveal information for interpreting the operation of the agricultural ladder, it is more sharply focused on that subject. The major conclusion of this report is that a general decline in tenure status of agricultural workers between 1880 and 1940 occurred in almost every part of the United States

Queer Affective Literacies: Examining Rotten Women\u27s Literacies in Japan

In Japan, there is a group of women who are notoriously known as “rotten women” because of their fantasies that perceive male homosocial relationships as homoromantic or homosexual. These transformative homoerotic fantasies are central to Boys Love culture. These “rotten women” or fujoshi engage with Japanese popular media using Boys Love literacies that challenge normative notions of male intimacy. In this paper, I examine Boys Love literacies, which bear intertextual and potentially queer qualities, and the impact these have on readers. I interrogate how an audience, immersed in heteronormative Japanese media, learn these non-normative literacies that I am positioning as a set of new literacies. I analyse Boys Love literacies embedded in fanworks, particularly women’s fan comics, and highlight how these serve as pedagogical tools in understanding the logics of these nuanced literacies. I argue that these comics serve as critical affective mediums that impart the queer and intertextual characteristics of Boys Love culture that challenge heteronormative engagements with Japanese popular media. This paper highlights a kind of cultural literacy production and dissemination that operate on a grassroots level and is produced by young actors who actively explore the queer potential of Japanese media
