Lessons on touch: Caring for pesticide exposure in toxic geographies
This article studies touch as a tool to sense and care for chronic pesticide exposure. It uncovers how agricultural communities come in contact with toxic chemicals and learn to live within toxic geographies as well as possible. Such understandings can cultivate more compassionate and liveable worlds.

Structure‐Based Screening of Amides with Potential to Overcome Aedes aegypti Insecticide Resistance
Given the great insecticidal potential of compounds containing the amide function, the present study applied the structure‐based virtual screening (SBVS) strategy through docking and molecular dynamics to screen more than 27,000 amides from a ChemBL library and identify potential inhibitors of important Aedes aegypti enzymes that can overcome ...
